Quote Of The Day 

"In every enterprise consider where you would come out. "

Today's Trivia



Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

It's the birthday of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of master sleuth Sherlock Holmes.  Doyle was born in Scotland and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he met Dr. Joseph Bell, a teacher with extraordinary deductive reasoning power. Bell partly inspired Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes years later.



First Lady Martha Washington

President George Washington’s devoted widow and the nation’s first “first lady,” Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, dies at her Mt. Vernon home on this day in 1802. She was 70 years old.   Martha graciously gave up a private burial place for her husband and gave John Adams permission to entomb him in Washington at the U.S. Capitol building. He was never interred there, however, and lies buried at his beloved Mt. Vernon. Martha lived the rest of her days at Mt. Vernon and was also buried there in 1802.



Today's Chuckles 



A Recording

 I dialed a wrong number and got the following recording: "I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes."



That's My Car

A tourist is visiting New York City when his car breaks down. He jumps out and starts fiddling under the hood. About five minutes later, he hears some thumping sounds and looks around to see someone taking stuff out of his trunk. He runs around and yells, "Hey, bud, this is my car!"

"Okay," the man says, "You take the front and I'll take the back."





Quick Quotes

"Motivation will almost always beat mere talent. "

" There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something. "

"Be fair with others, but then keep after them until they're fair with you.  "

More Chuckles

Working Blues

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned
... couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so
...they gave me the ax.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it. Mainly because
...it was a so-so job.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that
...was exhausting.

I wanted to be a barber, but
...I just couldn't cut it.

Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice to my life but I just
...didn't have the thyme.

I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I
...couldn't cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found
...I wasn't noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I
..didn't have any patients.

Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I
...just didn't fit in.

Mike put up one of those few photos (they come once a month) where you just know it's going to win. I'd love to rummage around in that room.

You won't see me here much tomorrow because I'm going on a one-day photography course on the Isle of Wight. Really looking forward to it.


So few people know the Bible nowadays.
A man was standing downtown waiting on a bus. It was raining cats and dogs. A lady was standing next to him so he tried to be friendly and make conversation.
"If it keeps this up, we'll all have to buy an ark," he said.
"What's an ark?" she asked.
"You mean you haven't heard about Noah and the great flood and all those animals?" he asked incredulously."
"Look, mister," she replied, "I've only been in town for four days. I've scarcely had time to read a paper."
