“Once you’ve learned to correctly pronounce every word in the
following poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of
the native English speakers in the world. If you find it tough
going, do not despair, you are not alone: Multi-national
personnel at North Atlantic Treaty Organization headquarters near
Paris found English to be an easy language… until they tried
to pronounce it.
To help them discard an array of accents, the verses below were
devised. After trying them, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six
months at hard labor to reading six lines aloud. Try them
yourself.”
ENGLISH IS TOUGH STUFF
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.

Two Auburn hunters were dragging their dead deer back to their car.
An Alabama hunter approached pulling his along too.
“Hey, I don’t want to tell you what to do, but I can tell you that
it’s much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction. Then
the antlers won’t dig into the ground.”
After the third hunter left, the two decided to try it.
A little while later one hunter said to the other, “You know, that
guy was right. This is a lot easier!”
“Yeah,” the other added, “but we’re getting farther away from the
truck!”

Benjamin Franklin was one of the first people to manufacture
playing cards in the U.S. Boy–playing cards, the post
office, the library…where in the world did he ever find the
time to fly a kite?

If you don’t want to talk, might as well go take my shower. I will be off

On a hot and dry Sunday, the village parson told his congregation, “There
isn’t anything that will save us except to pray for rain. Go home, pray,
believe, and come back next Sunday ready to thank God for sending rain. The
people did as they were told and returned to church the following Sunday.
But as soon as the parson saw them, he was furious. “We can’t worship tody.
You do not yet believe,” he said. “But,” they protested, “we prayed, and we
do believe.” “Believe?” he responded. “Then where are your umbrellas?”
The story applies to all of us. There are those people who leave their
umbrellas at home. Throughout their lives, they are merely hoping their
wishes and prayers will bear fruit, but they expect little. Others expect
their dreams and desires to come to pass.
It is as if they journey through life always prepared for something to
happen.

I went back to bed this a.m. and slept ’til noon. Finally got around to
*doing* my hair and didn’t get to the backologist like HE wanted - will see
his sub tomorrow if I can get there by noon. Anyway, I just got home from
Toastmasters and I see on my *in’s* that I got a phone# from an e-pal that I
need to call so I’m shutting down for a few minutes and will be back. Just
checking in for now.
I think everyone else went out trick or treating and they don’t realize
they’re LATE! (or too early)
