Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spied survivors of a ship that had sunk.
“Follow me son”, the father shark said to his son, and they swam to the survivors.
“First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing.” And they did.
“Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing.” And they did.
“Now we eat everybody.” And they did.
When they were both gorged, the son asked, “Dad, why didn’t we just eat them? Why did we swim around and around them?”
His wise father replied, “Because they taste better without the shit inside!“

But it takes a person with character to forgive.
When you forgive,
You release yourself from a painful burden.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was OK,
And it doesn’t mean that person should still be welcome in your life.
It just mean you have made peace with the pain,
And is ready to LET IT GO.

to spend the night.

At the session last week, the priest asked Popatbhai, who said he was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.
Popatbhai replied to the assembled husbands,
“Well, I’ve tried to treat her nice, be a responsible husband, spend money on her, but best of all is, I took her to Bombay for the 25th anniversary!“
The priest responded,
“Popatbhai, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?“
Popatbhai proudly replied,
“I’m going back to Bombay to pick her up.“
There you go, thamby …
