Freckle Cheeks

About ten years ago, a young and very successful executive named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his sleek, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.

He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child darted out, but a brick sailed out and - WHUMP! - it smashed Into the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH..!!!! Brakes slammed! Gears ground into reverse, and tires madly spun the Jaguar back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. Josh jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?”

“Please, mister, please. . . I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!” Pleaded the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” Tears were dripping down the boy’s chin as he pointed around the parked car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”

Moved beyond words, the young executive tried desperately to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the sleek, black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE -a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. . . Some bricks are softer than others. Feel for the bricks of life coming at to you. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has positive answers.

An eatery at Maine decided to create a “Skinny Dip” special, featuring sliced prime rib in a baguette roll, and it is free at The Black Frog Restaurant to anyone who is willing to plunge naked into Moosehead Lake.

The promotion has generated a lot of publicity for the restaurant, but apparently did not violate any of indecent exposure law in Maine. Why you might ask? That is because in order to violate the law, one would have to expose genitals for the purpose of offending or shocking. But in this case the patrons of the restaurant are exposed briefly only to a skinny dipper’s derriere as a participant takes the leap from the end of the restaurant’s dock.

So I guess it is alright to get naked in public, as long as it is to get free food, not to offend or shock anyone. Well, now the homeless people in Maine knows where to get free food. They just need to be very comfortable to get naked of people, and plunge into a freezing cool lake.

Well, apparently even dogs need a little help from wigs. And guess what, you can even style them according to your favourite celebrity! Want an Elvis Presley hairdo for your dog, get a dog wig!

A Hollywood stylist who was also a master wig maker had enough of styling humans, decided to style dogs instead. A friend of her asked to make a wig for her beagle, and the next thing you know, a business of making dog wig was formed.

It’s amazing what people do to their pet. So what else can they come up with next time? A fake dog tail?
