Funny Words of Wisdom
"I’m lost but I’m making good
time." - Yogi Berra
Why funny words of wisdom? To get us out of our thinking ruts.
Laughter is healing, and humor often makes things clear and memorable.
If a friend tells you not to try so hard, it may be good advice,
but it may not touch you like W.C. Fields' comment: "If
at first you don’t succeed, try try again. Then quit. No
sense being a damn fool about it."
Wisdom in a Funny Story
There was a flood, and an old woman watched as the water came
closer to her house. A man in a boat came by and offered her
to help her.
"Thank you," she said, smiling, "but the lord
will save me."
The water rose higher, and she had to go to the second floor.
Another boat came by, and the people in the boat went to the
window to rescue her.
"I'm okay," she told them. "I have faith in
the lord. He'll save me." The boat left without her.
She was on the roof finally, with the water swirling around
her feet, and a helicopter came. She refused their help too,
telling them that she had faith and the lord would save her.
Soon afterwards, the water took her away and she drowned.
When the woman arrived in heaven, she stepped before God and,
crying, asked him, "Why didn't you help me? I had faith
in you!"
"Not help you!" God replied. "What do you mean?
I sent you two boats and a helicopter!"
