Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place. --- Abigail Van Buren (1918 - 1978 ___________________________________________________ After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard her three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT monfter?" ____________________________________________________ Steinberg and Greenbaum, partners in the garment industry had just suffered through their worst season ever. Ten thousand madras sports coats were hanging on the rack unsold, and bankruptcy was looming closer. Out of the blue, in walked a buyer from Australia. "I say there," he began, "you boys wouldn't have any madras sports coats, would you? I've been looking for them everywhere." Steinberg said there MIGHT be a few left, and soon a deal was made whereby the ten thousand jackets would be shipped to Australia at a handsome profit. "There is one thing though," said the Australian buyer. "For an order this large, I'll have to get a confirmation from my home office. I don't anticipate any problem, and unless I send you a telegram by this Friday, the deal goes through as planned." Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday passed slowly, with the partners nervously waiting to see if the Australian would change his mind. Friday morning went by without incident. Steinberg and Greenbaum were closing up shop when, at ten minutes to five, there was a knock on the door: ..."Telegram!" The partners froze. Trembling, Greenbaum grabbed the telegram and opened it. Suddenly, his face lit up. "Steinberg, GREAT NEWS! Your sister died!" __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock: An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Whitney Berra, Delray Beach, Florida, usa Delray Beach Counselor Charged With Drug Possession, Sale Home>Florida>Boca Raton>Delray Beach Counselor Charged With Drug Possession, Sale Delray Beach Counselor Charged With Drug Possession, Sale Delray Beach Florida A Delray Beach woman who public records show has worked as a mental health counselor in several places is facing her second drug-related arrest in just weeks.
