Life True Value 

A WELL-KNOWN speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200 he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are special, don't ever forget it."

Never lie to a smart woman 

Man : "Honey I've been asked to go fishing in China with my boss for a week. This is a good opportunity
for me to get d promotion. So could you please pack enough clothes for a week, set out my rod & fishing box. We're leaving from office & I'll swing by the house to pick my things. Oh, Please pack my new blue silk pajamas!"

 

The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy but being a good wife she did exactly as her husband said. The following Weekend he came home a little tired but looking good.. The wife welcomed him & asked if he caught many fish? He said, "Yes, Lots of Salmon, Blue gill & a few Swordfish. But why didn't u pack my blue silk pajamas?"

Speeding
Sitting on the side of a highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police officer sees a car puttering along at 22mph. He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices there are five old ladies-- two in the front seat and three in the back- eyes wide and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused says to him, "Officer, I dont understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am", the officer replies," you werent speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was going the speed limit exactly... 22 miles per hour!", the old woman says a bit proudly.   The officer, trying to contain a chuckle, explains that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed the woman grinned and thanked the officer for poimting out her error. "But before I let you go, Ma'am I have to ask... is everyone in this car ok? These women seem awfully shaken and have not muttered a single peep the entire time." the officer asks.  "Oh they'll be alright in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."

 Winning a contest

There were three guys that won a contest. They would get to spend a year in a room with anything they chose. The first guy loves women. So they put him in a room for a year with over 200 girls for a year. The second guy loved to get drunk. So they put him in a room with every beer there ever was to drink for a year. The third guy loved to smoke. So they put him in a room with every kind of cigarette there was to smoke.

 

 Two hours later they hear the guy that loved to smoke banging on the door but they ignored him, he's in there for a year. A year later they let them out. They first guy came out and he could barely walk. The second guy came out and couldn't walk because he was so drunk. The third guy came out crying.

 

They asked him why he was banging on the door and why he was crying. He said, " I forgot my lighter!"
