Henry Ford’s secret
When the late Mr and Mrs Henry Ford celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, a reporter asked them: “To what do you attribute your fifty years of successful married life?”
“The formula,” said Ford, “is the same formula I have always used in making cars – just stick to one model.”
Miscellaneous observations on life:
A lot of people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.
It is easy to do any amount of work – provided it isn’t the work you are supposed to be doing.
Anyone who thinks talk is cheap never argued with a traffic warden.
Anything that is good and useful is usually made of chocolate.
One reason why a dog is such a lovable creature is that his tail wags instead of his tongue.
Four worms
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon on temperance. So four worms were placed into four separate jars. The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second was put into a container of cigarette smoke. The third was put into a container of chocolate syrup, and the fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results: The first worm in alcohol . . . dead. The second worm in cigarette smoke . . .dead. Third worm in chocolate syrup . . . dead. The fourth worm in good clean soil . . . alive. So, the minister asked his congregation, “What did you learn from this demonstration?”
There was silence, until one farmer at the back hazarded: “That as long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won’t have worms?”
