         Sometimes people come up with the funniest things to tell a story. Sometimes they are things that they 'make up'. Sometimes they are things that they've heard about and that they embellish a little bit, to make the story a little more believable...Well, the story I'm about to tell you is not one you have to wonder about, as to whether it really happened. It did!...to my hubby!....just this Friday!

     With all of the awful stories on the news lately...stories of people's homes being burned to the ground, of West Nile Virus victims, of a shooting at the Empire State building in New York, of the cyclist Lance Armstrong's medals possibly being taken away, and of Hurricane Isaac...

    ...Yes, with all of that going on, I'm happy to be able to tell you a kind of funny and cute story today! :-) A story about two men out for a little walk in the neighborhood and then..... :-))

      My husband and I, as many of you already know, are Jehovah's Witnesses. In that capacity, my husband and a friend of his were preparing to go door-to-door this past Friday, visiting the neighbors to encourage Bible reading and understanding.

      My husband asked his friend what he was gonna be leading conversations with? His friend said he was gonna be offering free home Bible stories...which is something we do regularly. My husband said: "Great!" Then his friend asked my husband: "What about you?!"

       I have to preface his answer by telling you that my husband's nature is to 'crack wise' or with a witty joke first, and then comes the serious. So he said: 

        "I'm gonna talk about miracles and how I need one!...LOL...because of the latest Watchtower magazine we got on miracles ("Miracles - Do they really happen?"). I'm gonna see if anyone would like a free copy of it."

        His friend and him were still laughing as they turned to go to the car, when all of a sudden...

      My hubby reached up to see what this wetness was......You guessed it! ^_^ A bird, flying over head, pooped directly on my husband's nose!! ^_^

     The two of them, as they were walking along, laughed hysterically...inside...that the people they were meeting had no idea that the man they were talking to had just be pooped on! ^_^ Some things are best kept from potential new friends! LOL...and when he came home and told me, I laughed hysterically...OUT LOUD! ^_^

     I would like to have ended this story saying that hubby got to leave a ton of magazines with the neighbors. So everybody got their "Miracles" on Friday! But that would be 'making it up'. ^_^ Unfortunately, he didn't get to leave not even one magazine with anyone. Maybe next time...but HE got his miracle...sorta kinda!! LOL I mean, how often does a bird have a direct hit?!! LOL...Have a good day, Everybody!

 I Tell It All

What good's a secret from your friends?
How much of "YOU" do you shut out?
Do you tell them all you know,
or do you hide what you're about?

Do they know how much you argue,
or how much you really spend?
Do they know your real hair color?
Are they not that kind of friend?!

Do they know the way you laugh
when your giggle can't be stopped?
Do they know your honest feelings
after all your hair's been chopped?

Are they totally informed
of the size you really wear?
You might hide it from your in-laws,
but your 'Bestie' doesn't care!!

What good's a secret from your friends?
In a 'Fix' that's who you call!
Then they're gonna find you out!
Might as well just tell it all!
