| A little bird was flying south for winter. It was so cold bird froze and fell to ground into a large field. While he was lying here, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As frozen bird lay re in pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay here all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard bird singing and came to investigate. Following sound, cat discovered bird under pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. Management lesson: Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut! This ends 3-minute management course. | | |
| Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it. If you were to jump off a bridge I wouldn't jump with you, I would be at the bottom to catch you. | | |
| Well, now......here's something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when you know something about it? Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew"). Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has
gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic
gesture is known as "giving the bird." IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY! And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.. | | |
