Tuesday

 


A man went to the doctor complaining of insomnia.
The doctor gave him a thorough examination, found
absolutely nothing physically wrong with him, and
then told him,
"Listen, if you ever expect to cure
your insomnia, you just have to stop taking your
troubles to bed with you."
"I know" said the man, "but I can't. My wife refuses
to sleep alone."






Comments:
Two buffalo were standing on the range when a passing tourist said:
"Those are the mangiest, scroungiest, most moth-eaten miserable beasts
I have ever seen."

One of the buffalo turned to the other and said: "I think I just
heard a discouraging word."
 
A UNC Senior reports for her university final examination which consists
of "yes/no" type questions. She takes her seat in the examination hall,
stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration
takes her purse out, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and
marking the answer sheet-Yes for heads and No for Tails. Within half an
hour she is all done whereas the rest of the class is sweating it out.
During the last few minutes, she is seen desperately throwing the
coin,muttering and sweating. The moderator, alarmed, approaches
her and asks what is going on.
"I finished the exam in half an hour. But I'm rechecking my answers."
(She graduated with honors)
 
Dear Howdy,

Here's a Yule Story That Ought to be a Movie

By Ronnie Polaneczky

AND NOW, in time for the holidays, I bring you the best Christmas
story you never heard.

It started last Christmas, when Bennett and Vivian Levin were
overwhelmed by sadness while listening to radio reports of injured
American troops.

"We have to let them know we care," Vivian told Bennett.

So they organized a trip to bring soldiers from Walter Reed Army
Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital to the annual Army-Navy
football game in Philly, on Dec. 3.

The cool part is, they created their own train line to do it.

Yes, there are people in this country who actually own real trains.
Bennett Levin - native Philly guy, self-made millionaire and irascible
former L&I commish - is one of them.

He has three luxury rail cars. Think mahogany paneling, plush seating
and white-linen dining areas. He also has two locomotives, which he
stores at his Juniata Park train yard.

One car, the elegant Pennsylvania, carried John F. Kennedy to the
Army-Navy game in 1961 and '62. Later, it carried his brother Bobby's
body to D.C. for burial.

"That's a lot of history for one car," says Bennett.

He and Vivian wanted to revive a tradition that endured from 1936 to
1975, during which trains carried Army-Navy spectators from around the
country directly to the stadium where the annual game is played.

The Levins could think of no better passengers to reinstate the
ceremonial ride than the wounded men and women recovering at Walter Reed
in D.C. and Bethesda, in Maryland.

"We wanted to give them a first-class experience," says Bennett.
"Gourmet meals on board, private transportation from the train to the
stadium, perfect seats - real hero treatment."

Through the Army War College Foundation, of which he is a trustee,
Bennett met with Walter Reed's commanding general, who loved the idea.

But Bennett had some ground rules first, all designed to keep the
focus on the troops alone:

No press on the trip, lest the soldiers' day of pampering devolve
into a media circus.

No politicians either, because, says Bennett, "I didn't want some
idiot making this trip into a campaign photo op."

And no Pentagon suits on-board, otherwise the soldiers would be too
busy saluting superiors to relax.

The general agreed to the conditions, and Bennett realized he had a
problem on his hands.

"I had to actually make this thing happen," he laughs.

Over the next months, he recruited owners of 15 other sumptuous rail
cars from around the country - these people tend to know each other -
into lending their vehicles for the day. The name of their temporary
train?

The Liberty Limited.

Amtrak volunteered to transport the cars to D.C. - where they'd be
coupled together for the round-trip ride to Philly - then back to their
owners later.

Conrail offered to service the Liberty while it was in Philly. And
SEPTA drivers would bus the disabled soldiers 200 yards from the train
to Lincoln Financial Field, for the game.

A benefactor from the War College ponied up 100 seats to the game -
on the 50-yard line - and lunch in a hospitality suite.

And corporate donors filled, for free and without asking for
publicity, goodie bags for attendees:

From Woolrich, stadium blankets. From Wal-Mart, digital cameras. From
Nikon, field glasses. From GEAR, down jackets.

There was booty not just for the soldiers, but for their guests, too,
since each was allowed to bring a friend or family member.

*************************************************************************

The Marines, though, declined the offer. "They voted not to take
guests with them, so they could take more Marines," says Levin, choking
up at the memory.

*************************************************************************

Bennett's an emotional guy, so he was worried about how he'd react to
meeting the 88 troops and guests at D.C.'s Union Station, where the trip
originated. Some GIs were missing limbs. Others were wheelchair-bound or
accompanied by medical personnel for the day.

"They made it easy to be with them," he says. "They were all smiles
on the ride to Philly. Not an ounce of self-pity from any of them.
They're so full of life and determination."

At the stadium, the troops reveled in the game, recalls Bennett. Not
even Army's lopsided loss to Navy could deflate the group's rollicking
mood.

Afterward, it was back to the train and yet another gourmet meal -
heroes get hungry, says Levin - before returning to Walter Reed and
Bethesda.

"The day was spectacular," says Levin. "It was all about these kids.
It was awesome to be part of it."

The most poignant moment for the Levins was when 11 Marines hugged
them goodbye, then sang them the Marine Hymn on the platform at Union
Station.

"One of the guys was blind, but he said, 'I can't see you, but man,
you must be beautiful!' " says Bennett. "I got a lump so big in
my throat, I couldn't even answer him."

It's been three weeks, but the Levins and their guests are still
feeling the day's love.

"My Christmas came early," says Levin, who is Jewish and who loves
the Christmas season. "I can't describe the feeling in the air."

Maybe it was hope.

As one guest wrote in a thank-you note to Bennett and Vivian, "The
fond memories generated last Saturday will sustain us all - whatever the
future may bring."

God bless the Levins.

And bless the troops, every one.

Bill

Verse of the Day




* * * Four important things to KNOW: #1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) have sinned & fall short of the glory of God. #2) For the wages of above (see #1) are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation from God, & damnation) but the Gift (free & at no charge to you) of God (Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is Eternal Life (Heaven) through (in union with) Jesus Christ (God, Lord, 2nd Person of The Trinity, Messiah, Prince of Peace & Savior of the World). #3) For God so greatly loved & dearly prized the world (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone, anywhere, anytime - while still living) believes (trust in, relies on, clings to, depends completely on) Him shall have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven). #4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist, Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through) ME (no other name). *** This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - - (Rev. 3:20) {Please note that church membership, baptism, doing good things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian - however they are great afterwards!!!} *** Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment), and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness, forever with God), and only a few find it.




D I S C L A I M E R If someone should ask if it's legal to download songs
found on various non-commercial sites, such as this one.

Well, I'm neither a lawyer nor a technician,
and I've begun to wonder if it was legal for
us to tape music off the radio back when
tape recorders first came into being.

And were we committing a crime when we recorded
a movie shown on TV with our VCRs? And was it
really legal to buy a dual-deck recorder for the
express purpose of duplicating cassettes?

My answer to all of the above is, "I don't know."

Nonetheless, here is a formal statement in
some kind of legalize that appears to apply
to this kind of file availability:
