Ya I know that this is a little out of season, but it is an honest truth!
Gift Wrapping
There is a religious precedent for not wrapping Christmas gifts....
Be advised as follows and wonder about its theological validity:
When the Three Wise Men went to see the baby Jesus
and, according to the Book of Matthew, "presented unto Him
gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
These are simple words, but if we analyze them carefully, we
discover an important, yet often overlooked, theological fact:
There is no mention of wrapping paper. If there had been
wrapping paper, Matthew would have said so: "And lo, the gifts
were inside 600 square cubits of paper. And the paper was
festooned with pictures of Frosty the Snowman. And Joseph was
going to throweth it away, but Mary saideth unto him, she
saideth, 'Holdeth it! That is nice paper! Saveth it for next
year!' And Joseph did rolleth his eyeballs. And the baby Jesus
was more interested in the paper than the frankincense."
But these words do not appear in the Bible, which means that the
very first Christmas gifts were NOT wrapped.
This is because the people giving those gifts had two important characteristics:
1. They were wise.
2. They were men.

IT'S REALLY FUNNY AND SHORT
A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale has hit Mexico.
Two million Mexicans have died and over a million are injured.
The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't know where to start with providing help to rebuild.
The rest of the world is
in shock.
Canada is sending troops to help the Mexican army control the riots.
Saudi Arabia is sending oil.
Other Latin American countries are sending supplies.
The European community (except for France) is sending food and money.
The United States, not to be outdone,
is sending two million replacement Mexicans.
God Bless America!

And the joke of the day!!
A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said, "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards."
The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook,"
This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is .. an auto parts store?"
"No," the cook said. "Three flat tires mean three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are 2 slices of crisp bacon."
"Oh, OK!" said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.The trucker asked, "What are the beans for Blondie?She replied, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlight s and running boards, you might as well gas up!
FOR ONCE THE BLONDE GETS EVEN!
