There was an old Sephardic man who lived by a forest outside of Toledo. Spain- not Ohio. . Like many Sephardim, he had a beautiful head of curls. As he grew older and older, he started losing his curls , until one day, on his deathbed, he was completely bald. That day, he called his children to a meeting...
He said, "Look at my hair. It used to be so magnificent, but it's completely gone now. My hair can't be saved. But look outside at the forest. It's such a lovely forest with so many trees, but sooner or later they'll all be cut down and this forest will look as empty as the top of my head."
"What I want you to do..." the man continued. "Is, every time a tree is cut down or dies, plant a new one in my memory. Tell your children and their children to do the same. It shall be our family's duty to keep this forest strong.”
And so they did.
Each time the forest lost a tree, the children replanted one, and so did their children, and their children after them.
And for centuries, the forest remained as lush and pretty as it once was, all because of one old Sephardic man and his
re-seeding heirline.
King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, “I’ll give you 100,000 dinars for it.” The King protested, “But I paid a million dinars for it! Don’t you know who I am? I am the king!” Croesus replied, “When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are.”
I had to read that one twice before the punch line hit me.
Last night on Dancing With the Tsars, Peter and Catherine were Great, but Ivan was Terrible.
Apparently some Baptists consider themselves exempt from DST.
They claim they saved that daylight last year, and once saved, always saved...
