Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you hear or are about to repeat a rumor.

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students...?"

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."

"Test of Three?"

"That's correct," Socrates continued.

"Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued, "You may still pass though because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really..."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

It also explains why Socrates never found out that Plato was having an affair with his wife.

When the wealthy businessman choked on a fish bone at a restaurant...

..., he was fortunate that a doctor was seated at a nearby table.

Springing up, the doctor skillfully removed the bone and saved his life.

As soon as the fellow had calmed himself and could talk again, he thanked the surgeon enthusiastically and offered to pay him for his services.

"Just name the fee," he croaked gratefully.

"Okay," replied the doctor. "How about half of what you'd have offered when the bone was still stuck in your throat?"

A young couple were touring southern Florida and happened to stop at a rattlesnake farm...

... they discovered along the road. After seeing the sights, they engaged in small talk with the man that handled the snakes.

"Gosh!" exclaimed the young woman. "You certainly have a dangerous job. Don't you ever get bitten by the snakes?"

"Yes, on rare occasions," answered the handler.

"Well," she continued, "what do you do when you're bitten by a snake?"

"I always carry a razor-sharp knife in my pocket, and as soon as I am bitten, I make cut across the fang entry and then suck the poison from the wound."

"What, uh...what would happen if you were to accidentally sit on a rattler?" persisted the woman.

"Ma'am," answered the snake handler, "that will be the day I learn who my real friends are."

Usually public municipalities have the job of removing snow from the streets in the town.

Sometimes they do a great job, Sometimes they do not. And sometimes, you won’t believe what they do.

  • The snow truck runs the snow to the end of the cul de sac and piles it there, so at the end of the winter there is a twenty-foot wall that doesn’t melt fully until July.
  • The snow truck decides to put all of the snow piles in the mall lot in the handicapped spaces.
  • The truck runs out of ice melter about ten feet before and into the large four-lane intersection. Drivers, you are on your own here.
  • You are driving fifty-five on a state highway in the dark about a day after it was plowed. Suddenly you realize that the truck turned off about one mile before the road ended and suddenly your side is part of a giant drift.
  • The road has been under construction with barricades all summer. Now it is winter. Do you think that they will remove the barricades for safety for the winter months? Do you believe in the Tooth Fairy?
  • Of course they will plow shut the end of your driveway right when you finish hand digging it out. But do they have to do that with the summer asphalt patch, too?
  • Of course, your snow blower fails to start when you have the big storm. That never will happen with the well equipped and tax supported snow fleet of your local village. Do you believe in Santa Claus?
  • That neighbor who works for the city gets to push his snow mass out into the street every time without incident. Let’s see what happens when you make a mistake with your blower and send a small trickle of snow out into the parkway. Should I say a small, medium or large fine?
  • Sorry, Harry, the best snow plow driver in town just retired. Now his teenaged son, Junior is behind the wheel. His specialty is to speed up and throw the salt all over your prized and expensive foliage in the middle of your property, so that it will assume a dead and brown color next spring.
  • It’s garbage day, and you have to put your cans out for the trash collectors. Then it snows and here comes the snow trucks. They love wiping out garbage cans with piles of snow, and they get bonus points if they smash up your mailbox, too.

Chutzpah is a Yiddish word meaning gall,  brazen nerve, Effrontery, sheer guts plus arrogance

This example is better than 1,000 words.. Read the story below the picture and you will understand.

THE ESSENCE OF CHUTZPAH...

A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each. Every day, a young man would leave his office building at lunch time, and as he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter, but never take a pretzel.

This went on for more than three years. The two of them never spoke.

One day, as the young man passed the old lady's stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel lady spoke to him.

Without blinking an eye, she said: "They're 35 cents now."

The shipwrecked mariner had spent several years on a deserted island.

Then one morning he was thrilled to see a ship offshore and a smaller vessel pulling out toward him.

When the boat grounded on the beach, the officer in charge handed the marooned sailor a bundle of newspapers and told him, "The captain said to read through these and let us know if you still want to be rescued."

American Toyota Workers Look Through their Hiring Contract

With all of the problems that the Japanese automaker has suddenly bestowed upon itself, it was sure that sooner or later the residual effect would trickle down to the American middle management and the rank and file workers.

Today, those workers are looking through their desk drawers at home or at work, searching for the hiring contract that they signed for some even thirty years ago to seek an escape clause. That clause would exempt the average worker, and especially American ones from having to commit hari-kari when the company suffers catastrophic injury.

"We do understand that in Japan, that hari-kari is the honorable way out of a poor business decision," said a spokesman. "It has been practiced for centuries. But we do not know if it applies to Americans, and if it does, there aren't too many Japanese ceremonial daggers on sale here in the states."

"I wouldn't be able to just stab myself," said Mary Rumpus, a line foreman at the American assembly plant. "The American way is to shoot oneself, or jump from a tall building. I cannot think of a way to effectively kill myself."

A news reporter answered her, "How about just driving a Toyota?"

Jill received a bill from the hospital for her recent surgery...

... and was astonished to see a $900 fee for the anesthesiologist. She called his office to demand an explanation.

"Is this some kind of mistake?" Jill asked when she got the doctor on the phone.

"No, not at all," the doctor said calmly.

"Well," said Jill, "that's awfully costly for knocking someone out."

"Not at all," replied the doctor. "I knock you out for free. The 900 dollars is for bringing you back
around."

A man goes to the doctor to find out about his tests.

"It's real bad, I'm afraid", says the doc "you've got a disease so new that it hasn't even got a name yet - we just call it 'Blue 56'. The only certain thing is that you'll be dead in three days"

Naturally the guy is devastated, and goes into a big depression. His girlfriend suggests they go to Vegas to cheer him up just a bit till the end comes. So he goes reluctantly. As he walks into the Casino, he's the millionth customer and wins a brand new Rolls Royce. Then he pulls the handle of a slot machine as he passes, and wins the golden jackpot of $7m. He sits down for a rest at the Blackjack table and wins $100,000 - straight 21's and he can't even be bothered to turn the cards. Weighed down with money, he throws it onto the nearest table. But it's the roulette wheel and the money is on 22 - which promptly comes up!

"Jeez," says the croupier, "I never seen luck like that in my whole life!"

"No, you don't understand" says the guy "I've got blue 56"

"Woahhhh! Now you've won the raffle!!"

Defining Characteristics .....of Slow People
  • Slow people always walk side by side, even if they don't know each other.
  • They drive side by side, too. If they can't find another slow driver to pair up with, they drive in the fast lane.
  • Slow walkers never look back. When they drive, they never look in their rear view mirrors, either.
  • Slow people drift sideways so they'll block the path of anyone trying to pass them. If two people or vehicles are trying to get around them at the same time, they drift into the path of the one that is moving at the highest speed.
  • Follow behind a slow person in the grocery store and you'll wind up with soggy ice cream every time.

Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.

The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."

The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Grace'"

The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says 'Your Eminence'."

The fourth Catholic man then says, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Holiness'."

Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, "Well....?"

She proudly replies, "I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38D bust, 24" waist and 34" hips. When she walks into a room, people say, "Oh My God."

A bald man with a wooden leg gets invited to a Halloween Party.

He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg, So he writes to a costume company to explain his problem.

A few days later he received a parcel with the following note:

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit.

The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and, with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint.

A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a monk's costume.

The long robe will cover your wooden leg and, with your bald head, you should really look the part.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head, so again he writes the company another nasty letter of complaint..

The next day he gets a small Parcel and a note, which reads:

Dear Sir,

We have TRIED our very BEST.

Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts.

Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your wooden leg up your butt and go as a caramel apple.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

Weirdest Movie Titles
  • Dr Goldfoot And The Bikini Machine (1965) Vincent Price does the mad scientist thing here, only there's nothing particularly scary about this – in fact, it's a sci-fi comedy about robot girls in bikinis trying to con rich men out of their fortunes.
  • Puppetmaster vs Demonic Toys (2004) Finally, the Puppetmaster and Demonic Toys franchises together at last! The evil pair take each on in a cavalcade of, er, cheap special effects and general nonsense. Rest easy, Alien vs Predator.
  • Pinocchio In Outer Space (1965) Animation which sees Pinocchio get turned back into a puppet and go on a space mission to try and win back his human status. What's that sound you hear? Walt Disney spinning in his grave.
  • Redneck Zombies (1987) The title pretty much says it all: a bunch of hicks turn into the undead after swallowing radioactive waste. At least you can be pretty certain you're not getting a cute family film.
  • Oh! My Zombie Mermaid (2004) Hands up, we've got no idea what this one's about. The cover quote boasts "It's like Battlefield Baseball, Game Of Death and Splash rolled into one!" but that just makes us more confused.
  • Hick Trek 2: The Next Aggravation (2005) Star Trek spoof in which a bunch of rednecks go on a space adventure, led by the er, tastefully named Captain Retard. Leonard Nimoy aka Spock is apparently a big fan, believe it or not
  • Retardead (2008) The last possible place to set a zombie invasion? A special needs school, where developmentally disabled students are turned into zombies and go on the rampage. Oscars won? Zero.
  • C.H.U.D. (1984) The title of this monster movie stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. Which would have been an even worse title. Although not quite as bad as the sequel, C.H.U.D. 2 – Bud The Chud.
  • Kids Go To The Woods... Kids Get Dead (2009) innovative B-movie throwback to horror classics of old (complete with VHS tracking) about your typical teens in peril. Will they survive? Well... no, obviously not. Didn't you see the title?
