Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

My adventure in self-employment continues. Twenty months into it I continue to experience a riddle I've asked many times on some days:

Q: "Do you know the difference between pastoring a small church and being self-employed?"

A: "When you are self-employed you don't wonder why you have to do everything!"

Fishing and Sisters

A boy was taking care of his baby sister while his parents went to town shopping. He decided to go fishing and he had to take her along.

"I'll never do that again!" he told his mother that evening. "I didn't catch a thing!"

"Oh, next time I'm sure she'll be quiet and not scare the fish away," his mother said.

The boy said, "It wasn't that. She ate all the bait."

Early Salesmanship

During a magazine and newspaper subscription drive, our son Philip, a paperboy, learned about good salesmanship.

His supervisor had instructed the kids to maintain a positive attitude, even when turned down. One potential customer told Philip, "I've got papers and magazines strewn all over the place -- I don't need any more."

Philip's reply? "Well, how about a subscription to Good Housekeeping?"
