Wine vs. Water
Wine vs. Water
Ben Franklin said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria".
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) --- the bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of it.

Air Force One

Secret Service descended upon the smoking hulk but could find no remains of the crew or the President's staff
. To their amazement, a lone farmer was plowing a field not too far away as if nothing at all happened. They hurried over to surround the man's tractor."Sir," the senior Secret Service agent asked, panting and out of breath."Did you see this terrible accident happen?""Yep. Sure did." The man muttered unconcernedly."Do you realize that is the President of the United States airplane?""Yep.""Were there any survivors?" the agent gasped."Nope. They's all killed straight out." The farmer sighed cutting off his tractor motor. "I done buried them all myself. Took most of the morning.""The President of the United States is dead?" The agent gulped in disbelief."Well," the farmer sighed, obviously wanting to get back to his work. "He kept a-saying he wasn't ... but you know what a liar he is."

ADVICE
A boy is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about what to talk about. He asks his father for advice. The father replies: ``My son, there are three subjects that always work. These are food, family, and philosophy.''
The boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain. Ice cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other for a long time, as the boy's nervousness builds. He remembers his father's advice, and chooses the first topic. He asks the girl: ``Do you like potato pancakes?'' She says ``No,'' and the silence returns.
After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his father's suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He asks, ``Do you have a brother?'' Again, the girl says ``No'' and there is silence once again.
The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his father's advice and asks the girl the following question: ``If you had a brother, would he like potato pancakes?''

SIMPLE
A renowned philosopher was held in high regard by his driver, who listened in awe at every speech while his boss would easily answer questions about morality and ethics.
Then one day the driver approached the philosopher and asked if he was willing to switch roles for the evening's lecture. The philosopher agreed and, for a while, the driver handled himself remarkably well. When it came time for questions from the guests, a woman in the back asked, "Is the epistemological view of the universe still valid in an existentialist world?"
"That is an extremely simple question," he responded. "So simple, in fact, that even my driver could answer that, which is exactly what he will do."

OUTSTANDING COURAGE
Eleazer Bokar appeared at the gates of Heaven and knocked for
admittance. The great doors slowly swung open and the patriach Abraham
stepped out, blowing his golden trumpet. When he had finished the
welcoming concerto, he turned to Eleazer and said, "Greetings, blood
of my blood and flesh of my flesh. God awaits you."
Recovering from the awesome splendor of this type of welcome, Eleazer
quickly replied, "Father Abraham, I am ready to meet G-d," and
stepped forward to enter the celestial portals.
"Wait, my brother," said Abraham, halting Eleazer with an imperiously,
upraised palm. "Before entering G-d's Kingdom, you must first prove
that you are worthy of the honor."
"But how can I prove my worthiness," queried Eleazer.
"You must show that, at least once in your mortal life, you displayed
outstanding courage. Can you recall one unquestionably brave deed?"
Eleazer's face brightened as he said, "Yes I can! I remember going to
the Roman Consul's palace where I met him face to face. He was
surrounded by dozens of legionnaires, all of whom were armed. Ignoring
this fact, I told him that he was a camel's behind, that he was a
vulture who fed upon the bones of Jerusalem's oppressed, and that he
was a persecutor of humble Jews. I then spat in his face."
"Well," exclaimed Abraham, "I am impressed. I must agree that that was
an extremely brave feat to perform - considering the armed guards and
the Roman Consul's hatred of Jews. Yes, my brother, you have certainly
earned admittance into Paradise, but please tell me, when did all this
happen?"
"Oh," replied Eleazer casually, "right before you welcomed me."

CRUMBLING DOWN
A crumbling old church building needed remodeling, so, during his
sermon, the preacher made an impassioned appeal looking directly at
the richest man in town.
At the end of the sermon, the rich man stood up and announced,
"Pastor, I will contribute $1,000."
Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the rich man on
the shoulder.
He promptly stood back up and shouted, "Pastor, I will increase my
donation to $5,000."
Before he could sit back down, plaster fell on him again, and again he
this time he virtually screamed, "Pastor, I will double my last
pledge."
He sat down, and a larger chunk of plaster fell on his head.
He stood up once more and hollered, "Pastor, I will give $20,000!"
This prompted a deacon to shout, "Hit him again, Lord! Hit him again!"

like, 'I see,' 'yes,' 'go on,' 'I understand,' and 'how did you feel
about that?'"

'Whoa... What happened next?'"

"Thought?" Steve asks. "What do you mean?"
"Three years ago, I cared very deeply for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me," Bill says.
"Wasn't that love?" Steve asks.
"No, that was obsession," Bill explains. "Then two years ago, I cared very deeply for an attractive woman who didn't understand me."
"Wasn't that love?" asks Steve.
"No, that was desire," Bill replies. "And just last year, I met a woman while I was on a cruise. She was gorgeous, intelligent, a great conversationalist and had a super sense of humor. Everywhere I followed her on that ship, I would get a very strange sensation in the pit of my stomach."

CHARITY
A local charity had never received a donation from the town’s banker, so the director made a phone call.
"Our records show you make $500,000 a year, yet you haven’t given a penny to charity," the director began. "Wouldn’t you like to help the community?"
The banker replied, "Did your research show that my mother is ill, with extremely expensive medical bills?"
"Um, no," mumbled the director.
"Or that my brother is blind and unemployed? Or that my sister’s husband died, leaving her broke with four kids?"
"I … I … I had no idea."
"So," said the banker, "if I don’t give them any money, why would I give any to you?"
