Snow Days
Hey! My site got a new look. By the way, that little black girl icon, that's me. Except I have eyes. And of course a body as well. So can someone tell me why I spent a good part of both Tuesday and Wednesday glued to the television, watching the news, hoping to see my company pop up in the snow closures? Sure I knew that they only announce school closures, but I hoped for the best. But never. Never because retail organizations never close. Despite the fact that I am not on the salesfloor, not even near it for that matter and I do no selling whatsoever, does not mean squat. We all have to work. In fact, on just about every major holiday, we work. Even in corporate. Word to the wise, stay far away from retail. Just kidding. I love our company.
So Tuesday I had off but Wednesday I trekked to work in the lovely snow/slush that was left by the night's ice/rain storm. I thought I had it all figured out until WHAMMO, I managed to ruin my Franco Sarto's when I stepped in an ankle-high puddle. Crap! That was when I knew it wasn't going to be a good day. My mom forwarded me this joke that I thought was funny and it made my day:
How many church members does it take to change a light bulb?
Charismatic:
Only one. Hands already in the air.
Pentecostal:
Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.
Presbyterians:
None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.
Roman Catholic:
None. Candles only.
Baptists:
At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.
Episcopalians:
Three. One to call the electrician
one to mix the drinks and
one to talk about how much better the old one was.
Mormons:
Five. One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.
Unitarians:
We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you,
that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including candescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence. now this is funny
Methodists:
Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church wide lighting service is planned
for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.
Nazarene:
Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.
Lutherans:
None. Lutherans don't believe in change.
Amish:
What's a light bulb?
