Lesya, so true. I remember that time ago I was hired by an architect to do some plumbing work , as I was tired and i wanted to go home i didn´t ask him for the money at that moment. the next day the architect suffered a stroke and died.On requesting the money to the family , they told me : look, we are grieving now , leave us in peace . It appears that one year after they are still grieving because I have never got my well- earned money from them. . HeHehE.

This story has been sent to me long time ago. I want to share it with you :)

Never argue with a woman

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside
cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the
boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up,and
begins to read her book..

The peace and solitude are magnificent.
Along comes a “Fish and Game Warden” in his boat.

He pulls up alongside the woman and says, ‘Good morning, Ma’am.. What are you doing?’

‘Reading a book,’ she replies (thinking, ‘Isn’t that obvious?’)

‘You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,’ he informs her.

‘I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.’

‘Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.’

‘If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,’ says the
woman.

‘But I haven’t even touched you,’ says the Game Warden.

‘That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could
start at any moment.’

‘Have a nice day, ma’am,’ and he left.

MORAL:Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.

Julito, your humorous post made me laugh so much. :))))) Nobody wants to pay bill for others after their death.

The story is very funny, sad and true at the same time.

Catcher. In case our friend Mr.Alston is busy doing other things, I am posting a good one.

A funeral home and barber shop were side by side on a street.The barber raised his prices and put up a sign: Price increases due to the high cost of living.

Seeing this, the funeral director raised his prices and put up a sign: Price increases due to the high cost of leaving.!-
