04/19/14 Weekend Grif.Net – Not My Book to Change

Posted on by

“When people say, ‘Why don’t you just kind of get on the right side of
history?’ I said, ‘You’ve got to understand, this for me is not about the
right side or the wrong side of history. This is the right side of the
Bible, and unless God rewrites it, edits it, sends it down with His
signature on it, it’s not my Book to change.”

Former Gov Mike Huckabee, addressing the subject of homosexual so-called
‘marriage’ in a speech in Iowa April 8th, 2014

Posted on by

A young fellow got a job as a trainee in a supermarket.

On his first day at work, he came in early, eager to make a fresh beginning.
The manager welcomed him with a warm smile and giving him a broom, said,
“Your first job will be to sweep the floor.”

The young guy protested, “But I’m a college graduate”

“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that,” said the manager. “Here, hand me
the broom, and I’ll take a minute to show you how to sweep the floor.”

04/17/14 Grif.Net – Too Much Time on FaceBook

Posted on by

Here are some warning signs that you may be spending too much time on
Facebook or Twitter or texting online

Tech Support calls “YOU” for queries.

When an office colleague shares a joke and you say “LOL” out loud.

You discover yourself trying to cock your head 90 degrees when you smile.

When at work, your boss frequently reminds you that the word “i” should be
capitalized.

You barely notice anymore when someone has a typo.

You discontinue talking in full sentences.

You have formed the habit of double clicking your TV remote.

You have an identity crisis when you learn of someone using a screen name
close to your own.

You are confused as to who you are, having changed your screen names so many
times.

You say “Scroll up” when a friend asks, “What did you say?”

Posted on by

Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.

Love doesn’t make the world go ’round, but it makes the ride worthwhile.

If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away.

Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.

The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

Lead me not into temptation, for I can find the way myself.

04/15/14 Grif.Net – Not Sure about the New Guy

I am afraid I might have hired a “redneck” at our workplace. Need others to
be the judge but so far I’ve noticed . . .

1. He calls his computer mouse a ‘critter’.

2. He has a gun-rack mounted on the CPU.

3. His password is ‘bubba’.

4. He put a ‘Dale Earnhardt for President’ sticker over the Apple Logo.

5. He leaves whiskey-colored stains on outgoing faxes.

6. He asked for a slow printer since he doesn’t read very fast.

7. He installed Dodge truck parts in the extra RAM slots of his PC.

8. He added Cracker Barrel, Waffle House, Chick-fil-A and Whataburger
pop-ups to all his on-screen ‘menus’.

9. You find a skoal can hidden in the CD-ROM.

10. His monitor is up on cinder blocks.

04/10/14 Grif.Net – Bed Bug Quiz

Posted on by

Reading an article by Orkin on Bed Bug infestations and their own research
as to the “leading” (not sure that is the right category to “lead” in) US
cities in the past year.

I was surprised that SEVEN of the top ten (or worse ten) were in the Midwest
and within 300 miles of each other. SO, am giving a “top ten” quiz, with
the three non-Midwest cities already in correct place.

All the others have just a first initial and it is up to you . .

1. C
2. Los Angeles, CA
3. C
4. D
5. C
6. C
7. D
8. Washington DC
9. Denver, CO
10. I

Scratch away . . answers tomorrow.

04/09/14 Grif.Net – Call Home

Posted on by

HUSBAND’S CALL:
“Honey it’s me. I don’t want to alarm you but I was hit by a car as I was
leaving work. Linda brought me to the hospital. They have checked me over
and done some tests and some x-rays.

The blow to my head was severe. Fortunately it did not cause any serious
internal injury. However I have three broken ribs, a compound fracture in
the left leg, and they think they may have to amputate my right foot.”

WIFE’S RESPONSE:
“Who is Linda?”

And if you find that hard to believe, you’ve never been married.

04/08/14 Grif.Net – NASA and the Navajo

Posted on by

In 1966, a NASA team doing work for the Apollo moon mission
took the astronauts near Tuba City where the terrain of the
Navajo Reservation looks very much like the Lunar surface.

Along with all the trucks and large vehicles, there were two
large figures dressed in full Lunar spacesuits. Nearby a
Navajo sheep herder and his son were watching the strange
creatures walk about, occasionally being tended by
personnel.

The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the
NASA personnel. Since the man did not know English, his son
asked for him what the strange creatures were and the NASA
people told them that they are just men that are getting
ready to go to the moon.

The man became very excited and asked if he could send a
message to the moon with the astronauts. The NASA personnel
thought this was a great idea so they rustled up a tape
recorder. After the man gave them his message, they asked
his son to translate. His son would not.

Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to
translate and every person they asked would chuckle and then
refuse to translate. Finally, with cash in hand, someone
translated the message, “Watch out for these guys; they come
to take your land.”

the faculty bay at Pillsbury College, Dave McGuire]

04/07/14 Grif.Net – What About This?

Posted on by

If chocolate comes from cocoa beans (grown on a tree), does that make
chocolate a fruit, a nut, a vegetable or a salad?

If a mosquito bites me, I want to be so filled with God that it flies away
singing “There’s Power in the Blood”.

If vegetarians are trying to save the animals, why are they eating the
animal’s food?

If doctors go on strike, will they need pharmacists to translate the picket
signs?

If it is true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the
others here for?

If you travel alone into desolate places, always bring a deck of cards. If
you get lost you need only start playing Solitaire. Someone will inevitably
come up behind you and say, “Put that red nine on the black ten!”

If you’re on the right track, you can still get hit by a train.

If you want to travel fast, walk alone. If you want to travel far, walk
together.

04/05/14 Weekend Grif.Net – Memo for Choir Members

Posted on by

[I am away from my computer most of this weekend at the "Spring Ring" which
we are hosting in Casper. Fifteen 15 hand-bell groups from Colorado,
Wyoming, the Dakotas and western Nebraska gathering to train and perform a
massed concert. Since college I have loved the bells and find great joy in
this choir. Which led me to this poem - half jest and half serious]

Memo: All Choir members. We are learning a new Hymn – to be sung to the
tune St. Denio ["Immortal, Invisible"]

Immoral, impossible, God only knows
How tenors and basses, sopranos, altos
At service on Sunday are rarely the same
As those who on Wednesday to choir practice came.

Unready, unable to sight-read the notes,
Nor counting, nor blending, they tighten their throats:
The descant so piercing is soaring above
A melody only a mother could love.

They have a director, but one wonders why:
No one in the choir deigns turn him an eye.
It’s clear by his flailing, he wants them to look,
But each singer slouches with nose in the book.

Despite the offenses, the music rings out.
The folks in the pews are enraptured, no doubt.
Their faces are blissful, their thoughts appear deep,
But it is no wonder, for they are asleep.
