Sorry guys, here's another post about the fairer sex. Did I say 'fairer'?
One day, a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river and her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?"
The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.
The Lord dipped his hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with pearls. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.
The seamstress replied, "No."
The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a silver thimble ringed with sapphires. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked again.
The seamstress replied, "No"
The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.
The seamstress replied, "YES."
The lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep and the seamstress went home happy.
Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the same riverbank and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel Gibson. "Is this your husband?" the Lord asked.
"Yes," cried the seamstress.
The lord was furious. "YOU LIED! That is untrue!
The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Mel Gibson, you would have come up with Tom Cruise. Then, if I said 'No' to him, you would have come up with my husband and had I then said 'yes' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so that's why I said 'yes' to Mel Gibson."
The moral of this story is: *WHENEVER A WOMAN LIES, IT'S FOR A GOOD AND HONORABLE REASON AND IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OTHERS. THAT'S OUR STORY, AND WE'RE STICKING TO IT*
I definitely laugh out loud just now...
ReplyDeleteLet's hope they don't think I'm mad...

ReplyDeleteAs the Brits say "you talk a lot of tosh, don't you?"
ReplyDelete;^)
lol. That's a good story.
ReplyDeleteNo tosh, no smiles. No matter, life still goes on, tosh or not.
ReplyDeleteHey Pfong, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'll buy the moral of the story, but only if you give me a discount and a free gift to go with it.
ReplyDeleteThe phrase "if such a woman exists" seems to be missing from the moral of the story!
ReplyDeleteMM, LOL. I am sure there are people who are like that. They do not bite off more than they can chew. It's something to do with principles and honesty.
