This idiom means that “life is good and is easy ~ just like a bowl
of cherries which are sweet; life is very carefree.” Sometimes, it produces...aches and
pains...yet frequently spiced with sprigs of humour.
Consider the following
mini-stories
which Tom has forwarded to me:
I was in the six-item
express lane at the store...quietly fuming.
Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the
check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine my delight
when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward...looked into the cart and
asked sweetly, “So which six items would you like to buy?”
Wouldn't that be
great if that happened more often???
Because they had no
reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbour and his wife were told
there would be a 45 minute wait for a table.
“Young man, we're both 90 years old,” the husband said. We may not have 45 minutes.” They were seated immediately!
The reason politicians try to
hard to get re-elected is that they would “hate” to have to make a
living under the laws they have just
passed.
All eyes were on the bride as
her father escorted her down the aisle.
They reached the alter and the waiting groom. The bride kissed her father and placed something
in his hand. The guests in the front
pews responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly. As her father gave her away in marriage, the
bride gave him back his credit card.
Women and cats will do as they
please and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Three friends from the local
congregation were asked, “When you're in your casket...and friends and
congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like them to
say?”
Artie said, “I would like them
to say that I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader and a great
family man.”
Eugene commented,”I would like
them to say I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in people's lives.”
Al said, “I'd like them to
say, “Look, he's moving!”
Smith climbs to the top of Mt.
Sinai to get close to God. Looking up,
he asks the Lord, “What does a million years mean to you?” The Lord replies, “A minute.” Smith asks, “And what does a million dollars
mean to you?” The Lord replies, “A
penny.” Smith asks, “Can I have a
penny?” The Lord replies, “In a
minute.”
A man goes to see the Rabbi. “Rabbi,
something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it.” The Rabbi asked, “What's wrong?” The man
replied, “My wife is going to poison me.”
The Rabbi
very surprised by this, asks,
“How can that be?” The man then pleads,
“I'm telling you, I'm certain she's going to poison me. What should I do?” The Rabbi then offers, “Tell you what. Let me talk to her; I'll see what I can find
out and I'll let you know.” A week later, the Rabbi calls the man and
says, “I spoke with your wife on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?” “Yes,” and the Rabbi replied, “Take the
poison!”

Quote by John
Wayne
Tomorrow is the
most important thing in life.
Comes into us at
midnight very clean.
It's perfect when
it arrives...and puts itself in our hands.
It hopes, we've
learned something from yesterday.
