How to be the Perfect WIFE/GIRLFRIEND

Take notes girls


A stingy old lawyer who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness was determined
to prove wrong the saying, "You can't take it with you."
After much thought and consideration,
the old ambulance-chaser finally figured out how to take at least
some of his money with him when he died.
He instructed his wife to go to the bank and withdraw
enough money to fill two pillowcases.
He then directed her to take the bags of money to the attic
and leave them directly above his bed.
His plan was that when he passed away,
he would reach out and grab the bags on his way to heaven.
Several weeks after the funeral,
the deceased lawyer's wife had gone up in the attic to clean.
Coming upon the two forgotten pillowcases stuffed with cash she exclaimed,
"Oh, that darned old fool,
I knew he should have had me put the money in the basement."



Whenever you are having a rough day,
try this stress management technique recommended
in all the latest psychological journals.
The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.

1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.
2. You can feel both your hands dangling in the cool running water.
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called "The World".
6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make
out the face of the person you are holding underwater.
See? It really does work. You're smiling already!

Court Orders Man to Complete eBay Deal

Aug 3, 2007SYDNEY, Australia (AP)

- An Australian court ordered a man to hand over a vintage plane

worth about $215,000 after he tried to back out of an eBay auction,

a newspaper reported Friday.

The New South Wales state Supreme Court ordered

Vin Thomas to complete the deal after he changed his mind about

selling the 1946 World War II Wirraway plane

he had placed on the Internet auction site last year,

the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Peter Smythe, a Australian warplane enthusiast,

was the only person to bid on the item,

matching the $128,640 reserve price just moments before

the auction ended in August last year.

But Thomas had already agreed to sell the plane to someone else

for $85,800 more than Smythe's offer,

and backed out of the sale, the newspaper said.

Smythe took Thomas to court,

hoping a judge would force him to follow through with the deal.

Judge Nigel Rein agreed, saying the eBay auction formed

"a binding contract between the plaintiff and the defendant and

... should be specifically enforced."

32,000 Quarters Leak Onto Wis. Roads

Aug 3, 2007MADISON, Wis. (AP) -

Imagine the ringing noise of 32,000 quarters hitting the pavement.

An armored car company reported losing $8,000 in quarters

along highways in two Wisconsin counties last month.

About half has been returned.

"I guess somebody found that and figured it was an early Christmas,"

Jefferson County Detective Sgt. Lawrence Lee said.

Eight-hundred dollars of loose quarters was found late last month

in the Madison area and $3,200 in Jefferson County the next day.

Loomis Fargo officials told authorities that a truck headed

for Madison carrying boxes of quarters broke down in the Pewaukee area,

so they sent another one.

The load was transferred, but someone forgot to secure the door.

The driver was issued a citation for failure to prevent a leaking load.

A Loomis official declined comment Thursday.

I’m always a fan of the ‘twist at the end’ kind of story.

This short film is sort of like that, but on a simple scale which, in my opinion,

gives it more impact.
I thought for sure I knew the twist at the end , but I was very pleasantly surprised to find out I was wrong.
I hope you find this nicely done short film as entertaining as I did.
Can you figure out the twist before the end?
