Oh dear......!
New car
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as
to when they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said he'd make a deal with his son: 'You bring your grades up
from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut.
Then we'll talk about the car.'
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer,
and they agreed on it. After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've
brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your
Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut. The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've
noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the
Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair...and there's even strong
evidence that Jesus had long hair.' To this his father replied, 'Did you also notice they walked everywhere they
went?

LA RECONNAISSANCE
>
La reconnaissance :
Voilà la différence, assez réaliste !
> > Un jour un fleuriste se rend chez le barbier pour se faire couper les cheveux.
> > Après sa coupe, il demande combien il doit. Le barbier répond
> > - C'est gratuit, je fais du bénévolat cette semaine.
> > Il s'en va tout content.
> > Le lendemain, en ouvrant sa boutique, le barbier trouve à sa porte une carte de remerciement et une douzaine de roses.
> > Plus tard, le boulanger se présente et se fait couper les cheveux.
> > Quand il vient pour payer, le barbier lui dit:
> > - Je ne peux accepter d'argent, cette semaine, je fais du bénévolat.
> > Heureux, le boulanger s'en va tout content, et le lendemain, dépose à la porte du barbier une douzaines de beignets, avec un mot de remerciement.
> > Puis, le député du département se présente et lorsqu'il vient pour payer, le barbier lui répond:
> > - Mais non, cette semaine c'est gratuit. Je fais mon bénévolat !
> > Très heureux de cette aubaine, le député quitte la boutique.
> > Le lendemain quand le barbier vient pour ouvrir, une douzaine de membres du parlement attendent en ligne pour se faire couper les cheveux gratuitement.
> >
> > Voila mes amis, la différence fondamentale entre les citoyens de ce pays et les politiciens qui nous gouvernent.

Hotel KEY CARDS ( worth reading )
Always take a small magnet on your holiday; they come in handy at the end of it. Thought you all needed to know this. This is pretty good info. Never even thought about key cards containing anything other than an access code for the room! HOTEL KEY CARDS
Ever wonder what is on your magnetic key card. Answer:
a. Customer's name
b. Customer's partial home address
c. Hotel room number
d. Check-in date and out dates
e. Customer's credit card number and expiration date! When you turn them in to the front desk your personal information is there for any employee to access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner. An employee can take a hand full of cards home and using a scanning device, access the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at your expense. Simply put, hotels do not erase the information on these cards until an employee reissues the card to the next hotel guest. At that time, the new guest's information is electronically 'overwritten' on the card and the previous guest's information is erased in the overwriting process. But until the card is rewritten for the next guest, it usually is kept in a drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION ON IT! The bottom line is:Keep the cards, take them home with you, or destroy them. NEVER leave them behind in the room or room wastebasket, and NEVER turn them into the front desk when you check out of a room.
They will not charge you for the card (it's illegal for them to charge you for it) and you'll be sure you are not leaving a lot of valuable personal information on it that could be easily lifted off with any simple scanning device card reader. For the same reason, if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash basket. Take it home and destroy it by cutting it up, especially through the electronic information strip! If you have a small magnet, pass it across the magnetic strip several times. Then try it in the door, it will not work. It erases everything on the card. Information courtesy of: Metropolitan Police Service. PLEASE FORWARD to friends and family.
