Having moved 15 times during our 37-year marriage, my husband and I appreciate movers who take the time to label carefully boxes they pack for us.

The accuracy of labels can make a huge difference when we try to find something right away.

My favorite was done by one guy who attached this sticker to a box - obviously not knowing how to spell the best one word description:

"Animals you hit with a stick at a Mexican party."

Cybersalt News

I'm back. I had hoped to keep sending out mailings while Mrs. Cybersalt and I were back east in Toronto (visiting our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson) but fun family times trumped fun computer time.

On one of our flights back to Cybersalt World Headquarters yesterday, a fellow passenger fell ill and we actually got to hear a flight attendant say that cliché line from an airplane movie; "If there are any medical personnel on-board please let a member of the crew know." I jumped to my feet and exclaimed, "I'm not a doctor, but I played one on television!"

OK, I didn't actually do that (as much fun as it would have been to play "Is there an air marshal on this flight?") Instead, Mrs. C. an I prayed quietly and after we landed we were thankful to see the person able to walk through the terminal with paramedics.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against having fun when travelling by air. One of my favorite gags (if I think the person can handle it) is to turn to a stranger assigned a seat next to me and say, "You know how every plane disaster movie has a nun or a pastor on board? Guess which one I am!"

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

Earthly Treasures

Showing his friend around his his home, Fred started to point out all of the collectibles he and his wife had acquired over their long years of marriage.

"The day before I die, I'm going to sell every piece we've got just to see how much it's all worth."

"But you couldn't possibly know the day before you were going to die, so how could you sell it."

"Simple: If I sell it, my wife would kill me!"

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring 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.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I haven't mentioned this here yet, but my church has graciously and sacrificially given me a 6 month sabbatical, which began yesterday. The day started out very early with an encounter at the airport that was both funny and inspirational - I'll be sure to tell you the story later.

But for now, due to an early rise, a flight delay, travelling all day, and a bit of jet lag, today's Cybersalt Digest is abbreviated and doesn't contain all the featured items it normally does.

Just the same, I hope you enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

Brain vs Brawn

The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could out do anyone in a feat of strength.

He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen.

After several minutes, the older worker had had enough.

"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?" he said.

"I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won't be able to wheel back."

"You're on, old man," the young guy replied.

The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.

Then he turned to the young man and said, "Alright. Get in."

I misplaced my thesaurus and feel terrible; just terrible, really terrible.
