Sunday greetings, everyone!
With the return of the season of advent, Cybersalt World Headquarters is once again full of Christmas jazz music while I work. I think I have already discovered what is going to be my favorite new find of 2022.
Today's video share is that new find. I hope you enjoy, "Star of Wonder / We Three Kings by Kurt Elling."

Suggestion Box
The strict and unsmiling manager noticed that the suggestion box was missing from the wall beside the time clock. He began to ask around to see who knew what had become of it.
"You!" he yelled at one of his employees. "Where's the suggestion box?"
"I don't personally know, Sir," the employee responded.
"But the office gossip is that it's under your desk, wired, and ticking."

If you're mad at someone, first let him sit in your car, and then you can belt him.
Quote #2139
Human beings are not born with self-control. We have to learn what to do with the mad that we feel. Learning to control ourselves is a long, hard process. It happens little by little. In fact, it is something we work on all through our lives.

The King's Counselor
A king had to leave for a long journey, and he wondered who he should leave in charge of his kingdom while he was gone.
One day when he was out riding alone, a woman appeared in the mist. "Soon you will find the one you seek," she said. She waved a hand, and suddenly the king found himself in the simple clothes of a common woodcutter.
The king was puzzled, but he rode on.
A few minutes later he saw a boat in the lake with six noblemen. A storm was coming, and the boat was in danger. Jumping in the water, the king swam out, climbed into the boat, and helped the noblemen row safely to shore.
He heard a voice, "One of these men will be your next counselor. Invite all of them to dinner at your hut in one week's time."
The king, who still appeared to be a mere woodcutter, did so. The noblemen all promised they would come.
Back at his palace and looking like himself, the king heard the woman's voice again. "Call all those noblemen to your castle and invite them to dinner in one week's time."
Puzzled, the king did as commanded. In one week, five of the noblemen showed up, but the sixth was missing. Furious, the king commanded his guards to search the kingdom for the missing guest.
In a short time, his guards dragged the sixth nobleman to the palace and pushed him down before the king's throne. "Why did you not come with the others for my dinner party?" he demanded.
"Sire," said the nobleman, "I beg your forgiveness. But I had already accepted an invitation to dine with a woodcutter this same night. I couldn't accept your generous offer. I am sorry."
The king stood up. "You would rather dine with a mere woodcutter than with your king?"
"Sire, I gave my word. What else could I do?"
The king suddenly smiled. "I am pleased. You kept your promise, even at the risk of my anger. You are the man I have been looking for to take care of my kingdom in my absence."
The nobleman became the king's trusted counselor, and ruled wisely while the king was on his travels.

We think Cybersalt's collection of Christmas jokes is the best collection on the net. Right now it features over 70 jokes.
Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the
