Subject: garden flashers
A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red. One day while taking a stroll she came upon a gentlemen neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.
The woman asked the gentlemen, "What do you do to get your tomatoes red?" The gentlemen responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden and expose myself, and my tomatoes turn red from blushing so much."
The woman was so impressed, she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she exposed herself to her garden hoping for the best. One day the gentlemen was passing by and asked the woman,
"By the way, how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?"
"No" she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous...."

I had a friend and valuable co-worker who had just done something nice for me.
So I went to the card store and bought a blank postcard with a fancy border.
Inside the card, below the top border, I wrote
"TOP TEN REASONS WHY YOU ARE MARVELOUS."
Since Amy was a good friend and valuable co-worker, it was easy to write ten points below the title. In fact, the hard part was
determining which were the TOP ten!
When I presented her with the card, her eyes welled up with tears. Apparently, no one had done something like this for her
before.
We work in the technology industry and tend to change offices often. The first thing that Amy does when she moves to a new location is to remove the card from her wall and place it in her
new cubicle.
She explains, "Whenever I don't feel like a productive employee or even a valuable human being, I just look at the card and it reminds me that I am."
This simple card was not fireworks or an expensive gift, but it continues to make an impact. Above all, people want to feel important and appreciated.
I actually had all of my employees do this. Each was paired with another and was required to write 10 reasons why the co-worker they were paired with was marvelous.
There were two employees who were somewhat at odds with each other. When informed of the requirement, one said, "I can't think of ten good things to say about them!"
After the assignment was over the employee went to the other and told the! m that they had a hard time limiting all of the marvelous things about them to ten once they began putting it on paper.
Maybe you should try this at your place.

Subject: The Bull
A cattle rancher needs a bull to service his cows
but needs to borrow the breeding fee from the bank. The banker lends him the money and comes by a week later to see how his investment is doing.
The farmer complains that the bull just eats
grass and won't even look at the cows.
The banker tells the farmer that he knows a great veterinarian and that he'll send him out the next day to check out the bull.
The next week the banker returns to see if the vet helped.
The farmer looks very pleased and tells the
banker, "The bull has serviced all my cows, broke through the fence, and has even serviced all my neighbor's cows."
"Wow," says the banker. "What did the vet do to that bull?"
"Just gave him some pills," replies the farmer.
! "What kind of pills?" asks the banker.
"I don't know," says the smiling farmer, "but
they sort of taste like peppermint."

Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself in a mirror. Her frustrationover her lack of ability to lose weight was depressing her.
In an act of desperation, she decided to call on help from God.
"God...if you take away my love handles, I'll devote my life to you," she prayed.
And just like that, her ears fell off.
