For nearly four years I have enjoyed sharing my crazy stories with you. The feedback I receive from readers has been delightful. During this time I added a grandchild, graduated a daughter from college, lost a husband (well, I didn't exactly loose him....he's just across town but you get the idea), moved office buildings twice, and so much more.

Most of these experiences have found their way in one form or another into Friday Funnies. It's been a blast to connect with many of you through this venue. But the reality is... they're giving me the boot! The ol' heave ho! Out with the old... in with the new.

In January, one of our newest team members, Jordan Robb will be bringing you his hilariously funny perspective on life, work, and everything in between.

This isn't goodbye - I will find ways to coerce some "guest writer" opportunities. Until then, let's stay connected on Facebook! www.facebook.com/aquiretraining

Have a very blessed holiday!


Happy Friday!

Signs You've Had too Much Holiday Cheer...

1. You strike a match and light your nose.

2. You take off your shoes and wade in the potato salad.

3. You hear a duck quacking and it's you.

4. You tell your best joke to the rubber plant.

9. You ask for another ice cube and put it in your pocket.

10. You tell everyone you have to go home... and the party's at your place.

11. You have to hold on to the floor to keep from sliding off.

12. You pick up a roll, and butter your watch.

13. You yawn at the biggest bore in the room... and realize you're in front of the hall mirror.

14. You take out your handkerchief and blow your ear.

15. You suggest everyone stand and sing the national budget.

Yellow snow... 

 

Christmas Card problem solved...

Last Christmas, grandpa was feeling his age, and found that shopping for Christmas gifts had become too difficult. So he decided to send checks to everyone instead. In each card he wrote, "Buy your own present!" and mailed them early.

He enjoyed the usual flurry of family festivities, and it was only after the holiday that he noticed that he had received very few cards in return. Puzzled over this, he went into his study, intending to write a couple of his relatives and ask what had happened.

It was then, as he cleared off his cluttered desk that he got his answer. Under a stack of papers, he was horrified to find the gift checks which he had forgotten to enclose with the cards.

This Weeks Quote...

"I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying: 'Toys not included.'"
