Thanks to everyone who let me know that yesterday's "Fatherly Pride" illustration is actually "Smart" by Shel Silverstein as found in his book, "Where the Sidewalk Ends".

There are two renewed web pages on the Cybersalt site today.

We are all concerned about the price of gas and it's effect on our piggy banks:

Here is today's CleanLaugh - "Living to 104"

At his 103rd birthday party, my grandfather was asked if he planned to be around for his 104th.

"I certainly do," he replied. "Statistics show that very few people die between the ages of 103 and 104."

Today's CleanPun

A young couple's marriage was suffering from her inability to cook. Things really got bad the night that the husband fished a piece of paper out of what was supposed to be a stew.

He unfolded the paper and read, "Nobly, nobly Cape St. Vincent to the North-west died away."

Waving the soggy scrap, he demanded, "What on earth is, this?"

"Well," the young wife replied, "the recipe said that if the stew was too thin I should add Browning."

Today's Illustration - "Do It Yourself Appliance Repair"

Featured Illustration items are well suited for introducing or illuminating a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

My wife and I were newly married and I was trying to impress her with my technical expertise.

I was trying to repair our washing machine but was unable to determine where a loose wire belonged. After working at it for several minutes, I decided to consult the experts.

I took the wire along with all the details (model, serial number, etc.) of my machine to a local repair shop. I explained my situation to the technician, who looked at the wire for several minutes. He said he thought it looked familiar, but he couldn't tell me where it belonged either.

Taking the wire, he said he would have to consult with some colleagues who were working in the back.

After several minutes, he reemerged with the wire in hand. He said they decided the mystery wire had nothing to do with the operation of my washing machine. It was the underwire from one of my wife's bras.

I'm sure the technicians in the shop had a nice laugh at my expense. I was still red-faced and embarrassed when I returned home to tell my wife about my discovery.

And she hasn't stopped laughing yet!
