Sunday greetings everyone!
At risk of making this sound like groundhog day, I think sending is back to normal.
This week, Rev. James Snyder reminisces about the positive effect corporal punishment had on him at school. You can read "I Don’t Miss My Teacher’s Hickory Stick, but She Never Did" at:

Crossing the Road
There's a man trying to cross the street.
As he steps off the curb a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight for him. The man walks faster, trying to hurry across the street, but the car changes lanes and is still coming at him.
So the guy turns around to go back, but the car changes lanes again and is still coming at him.
By now, the car is so close and the man so scared that he just freezes and stops in the middle of the road.
The car gets real close, then swerves at the last possible moment and screeches to a halt right next to him.
The driver rolls down the window. The driver is a squirrel. The squirrel says to the man,
"See, it's not as easy as it looks, is it?"

Shopping Manners
One of the busiest times for a meat-department manager in a supermarket occurs when there is a sale on particular cuts.
When we put cross-rib roasts on sale one day the result was predictable. I'd bring out a cart of roasts and before I could get them on display, women customers were jostling for their share. Three times I returned with a cart of roasts and three times they were gone before I got to the counter.
The fourth time out I noticed that a man who had quietly been watching began to approach my cart. He elbowed his way in, pushing and shoving, and finally grasped a roast.
Before he could retreat from the crush, an irate woman glared at him and said, "Sir, how about being a gentleman!"
The fellow turned and said, "Ma'am, for twenty minutes I've been a gentleman, now I'm going to be a lady!" And with that, he smiled, took his roast and walked away.
