      OK, I admit it the Story of Appreciation thread wasn't to my liking. I'm a cynical Westerner I guess. I didn't downvote it or anything, but it's not my kinda thing. The following is a Similar Moral story, but perhaps without as much emotional crap that seems to swallow up those stories. Vote as you see fit, or not, I'm not one who cares to much about the Reputation points. ------------------------------------------------------------ Jack placed an add in the newspaper to hire a gardener. As the candidates arrived he looked out the window and watched them approach the house. When the first candidate rang the bell Jack opened the door and said "I'm sorry, the position is filled" When the second candidate rang the bell Jack opened the door and said "I'm sorry, the position is filled" When the third candidate rang the bell Jack opened the door and said "I'm sorry, the position is filled" When the fourth candidate approached the house he bent down to pick up a rake that was lying in the middle of the drive way. He propped the rake up against the wall and rang the bell. Jack opened the door and said "When can you start?" -Richard

              John placed an add in the newspaper to hire a gardener. (...) When the fourth candidate approached the house he bent down to pick up a rake that was lying in the middle of the drive way. The shot hit him right in the middle of the chest, and he fell over the rake, impaling him.

                You missed out the bit where John also shot at the other three, killing a mailbox, a bull mastiff on the other side of the street and his own left foot.

                    Oh, I probably missed last weeks firearms report. He did not improve, did he ? Or "The shot hit him right in the middle of the chest, and he fall over the three other bodies."

                      The news media never gives the public all the facts anymore, and that's not fair. 0) The mailbox is dead because the bullet passed through it on its way to the mail carrier (also dead as a result) because he appeared to be delivering government propaganda. After making sure the postal carrier was dead, I checked, and the propaganda turned out to be a Sale pamphlet for Sears. I immediately took advantage of it and bought some Craftsman tools. Yeah, it took a while to replace the mailbox, bot that only served to warn others not to drop off stuff that looked like government propaganda. 1) The mastiff was necessary because it had torn the bumper off my car and had gotten across the street with it before I could get my rifle and draw a bead on it. In all fairness, I did try to get it to "drop the toy" before firing on it. 2) For the record, I've never shot myself - accidentally or otherwise.
