The world is too crowded! There are too many people on the
roads, in the supermarkets, post offices and barbershops, slowing all the
progress down being made with smart phones and I-pads. Seems a shame too, since
we now spend even more time on our electronic devices waiting our turn to move.
Even on Long Island, where there has been a reported rash of
bank robberies, over 21 since January 1st, the bank robbers have to
get in line or move to another bank!
In the supermarkets, people with more than 40 items are on
the 12 items or less lines, with their tunnel vision, as they don’t dare to
look at whoever is behind them.
There is a report, and I don’t know how true it is about
this event that occurred last spring down in Alabama. It seems there was this
Baptist church, and the two
thousand members church was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning.
The preacher was ready to start the sermon when two men, dressed in long black
coats and black hats entered thru the rear of the church.
One of the two men walked to the middle of the church while the other stayed at the back of the church. They both then reached under their coats and withdrew automatic weapons.
The one in the middle announced, "Everyone willing to take a bullet for Jesus stay in your seats!"
Naturally, the pews emptied, followed by the choir. The deacons ran out the door, followed by the choir director and the assistant pastor.
After a few moments, there were about twenty people left sitting in the church. The preacher was holding steady in the pulpit.
The men put their weapons away and said, gently, to the preacher, "All right, pastor, the hypocrites are gone now. You may begin the service."

Let’s face it,
if it says ‘Free’ on it, so is everybody on it. You go into COSTCO, and you
can’t move, the sample carts are over-flowing with tasters, who are not going
to buy the product, but will come back for seconds. I remember once being in
Costco with TLW (The Little Woman). When I go there, I always wear a baseball
cap. Why? Because then I can go to the sample cart, wearing my cap with the
peak forward, then disguise myself for seconds with the peak backwards. Yes,
I’ve done that.
If you go to a
shopping center in the middle of the day, you can’t find a parking spot, the
library parking is a joke and even in the cemetery, you can’t drive without
negotiating through the roads. In fact, there is no space left to bury anyone.

So true about the world of "tech" today.......and Cosco, who doesn't go there just to "have lunch?" ( great idea with the cap). But the story about the church, OMG!!! how funny, how true!! LOL!! It's nice at 5 a.m. to start with a laugh of the day!! God Bless you and your family, Joseph for all that's going on right now...........
That is so funny about Costco. Once in a rare moment Bill will come home and say he's not very hungry. That's how I know he's been to Costco that day!!!
