Good morning crew,
Well, the wedding went off without a hitch, thank goodness.
It seems to me that a wedding is just one big opportunity
for something to go horribly wrong, but nothing did. I even
managed to police myself and stay off the dance floor after
the first obligatory couple of dances.
The only thing that didn't go over very well was the present
I got them. I picked it up last month at the Renaissance
Faire. It's a rock, but it's a very cool rock. It has a
hollow carved out in it to hold an oil lamp.
So if you want your living room to feel a bit like a medieval
castle this is just the thing.
I talked to the happy couple the next day and asked them how
they liked the present.
"The flagstone?" they asked. "Oh, yeah, uuuuh, we're sure it
will look great in the garden."
"No, no, you don't get it. It's a lamp!"
"Why would I want to put a lamp in the garden?"
"You don't put it in the garden," I argued, "it's a display
piece. You know, like a decorative candle holder."
"A twenty-pound candle holder?"
"Or," I admitted, "you could put it in the garden."
In my defense it was the girlfriend who talked me into getting
it.
Laugh it up,
Joe

Our co-worker kept trying to get her mother to fly out for
a visit. "No way am I getting on an airplane," was the in-
evitable answer.
"Look, Mom, when it's your time to go, it doesn't matter
if you're on the ground or in the air."
"I know," said her mother. "I just don't want to be that
far off the ground when it's the pilot's time to go."

At a wedding I recently attended, the priest called for a
moment of silence to remember the faithful dead...
As the church grew quiet, a little boy sitting in front of
me turned to his father and said excitedly, "Dad, you have
some of their albums!"
