Edward Hale, while chaplain of the U.S. Senate, was asked, “Do you pray for the senators?”
He replied, “No. After getting to know the senators, I pray for the people.”

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried a creative defense to get his client off the hook. “My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few paltry items. His arm is not himself, so I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed solely by his arm.”
“Well put,” the judge replied, smiling. “Using that same logic, I sentence the defendant’s arm to one year’s imprisonment. Your client can accompany the arm or not, as he chooses.”
The defendant said, “Thank you, your honour.” With his lawyer’s help, he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench and walked out.

Yikes! We know a guy with an artificial arm. He has a pretty good sense of humor, too . . . Hmm. 🙂

Oh, but I just remembered, he lost his original arm while trying to escape from prison — he was shot. Hmm. Oh, MY, I’m remembering more: While he was in prison the second time, his original artificial arm was stolen from him. The one he has now is the 2nd. Hmm.

I think it has do with the price we have to pay for postage – it’s like we are buying the post office every time we send something abroad, but they promise delivery in 3 days inside EU. £6.90 it cost me.

Good grief! WE thought we paid a lot at almost half that.
Thank you, dear Wivi 🙂
