Google jokes and a not google funny story for candid

The google joke:


The Paratrooper
A paratrooper was scared to jump. His instructor told him, "If anything goes wrong, say, `Buddha oh Buddha' and you will be saved."

The paratrooper got so scared that he forgot to pull his rip cord. So he said, "Buddha oh Buddha," and a hand came out and saved him.

He said, "Thank God," and he was dropped.

candid, a funny (true) story you may appreciate:

I live in the middle of cornfields. had the water tested last year and found nitrates in it. so i go to a local spring and get my drinking water there.

i looked and looked to find a large ceramic container with a spout to put the water in, so it isnt stored in plastic.

couuldnt find one, or else they were expensive.

so did this little release, to the buddhas wisdom, just a little let/go, no big deal. that i was giving up and would just find one whenever.

a couple weeks ago a friend and i were scouring the streets of nyc (not really, just walking actually) when lo and behold i saw a large ceramic jug with a spout, abandoned in an alley. no lid, but i could fix that. "wow" i said, and gave her the background. she had a good happy laugh.

my teacher came out to my house last weekend. i live in an old house, with some very lovely old things from my family. but of all the things, before she left, she saw the ceramic jug, and said "THAT is NICE".

anyway. i just thought it was sweet.


love ya c.

funny joke! poor guy

funny too you mention the little release to the master's wisdom, timely.

wonder if your teacher planted it there for you? if not, then just her teaching?
