Bill: "What are you complaining about? The smaller piece is what you got, right?"

When Uncle Charlie died of old

When Uncle Charlie died of old age, Bill was bequeathed his uncle'sprized Amazon parrot. This parrot was fully grown -- with a bad attitudeand a worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those thatweren't expletives were, to say the very least, extremely rude.
Bill tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly sayingpolite words, playing soft music--anything he could think of to try andset a good example... Nothing worked. Exasperated, he yelled at thebird. But the bird just got louder. Then he shook the parrot. But thebird just got more angry and more rude.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, Bill put the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments he heard the bird squawking, kicking, andscreaming...
Then, suddenly, all was quiet. Bill was frightened that he might havehurt his dead uncle's prized parrot and quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto Bill's extended arm and said, "I amtruly sorry that I might have offended you with my language and actionand I humbly ask your forgiveness. I will now, from this day forth,endeavor to correct my behavior so that such an ill-perceived outburstnever again occurs."
Bill was completely astonished at the bird's change in attitude and wasabout to ask what had caused such a dramatic change when the parrotcontinued, "May I ask what the chicken did?"

The teacher lifted it up and noticed that it was leaking a little bit. She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and tasted it.

Begin by standing on a comfort...

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lbpotato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lbpotato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

Kathleen Madigan: Figure Skating

I always wanted to be a figure skater as a kid, too, that was like my fantasy dream. But whenever I watch it, I think I would have totally done it alone. I dont know how these people have enough control over the tempers to be working with a partner. Because if I worked with some guy for 15 years, and we got to the Olympics, and out of nowhere he just fell -- oh, Id skate around just to chop off his fingers. I would, and I would not feel bad about that -- ever. Now when youre nubbing your cereal spoon in the morning, you can look at that box and remember why were not on it.
