A wise person once told me "Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled."

He was 20 years old, little did he know how hard it will be for him to hear those words when he is 50.

Israeli tourist strips naked in anger at New Zealand men's whistles

WELLINGTON, New Zealand- An Israeli tourist who felt harassed when New Zealand road workers whistled at her Thursday stripped naked in response.

Workmen in the small northern farming town of Kerikeri were repairing the main street when the young woman took offense at their attention.

On a balmy late-autumn day, she calmly stripped bare to use an ATM - bringing an abrupt halt to both the whistles and the road work - then put her clothes back on and walked away.

Sgt. Peter Masters said the woman told police she didn't take kindly to the men's wolf-whistles.

"She said she had thought `... I'll show them what I've got,' " as the men whistled at her, he said.

"She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive-looking lady," he said.

Embarrassing, but great results.


Speaking of women:

The other night I couldn't be home for one of the basketball playoff games between the Los Angles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs so I asked my wife to TIVO it for me.

On my way home I purposely had the radio turned off so I didn't hear anything about the game.

When I got home I asked her to turn it on for me and said please don't tell me the score.

She said sure and added it was a good game, the Lakers won!!

Pilots run out of fuel, pray, land near Jesus sign

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - It seemed like an almost literal answer to their prayers. When two New Zealand pilots ran out of fuel in a microlight airplane they offered prayers and were able to make an emergency landing in a field - coming to rest right next to a sign reading, "Jesus is Lord."

Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson, both from the town of Blenheim on the country's South Island, were flying up the sloping valley of Pelorus Sound when the engine spluttered, coughed and died.
"My friend and I are both Christians so our immediate reaction in a life-threatening situation was to ask for God's help," Stubbs said.

He said he prayed during the ill-fated flight that the tiny craft would get over the top of a ridge and that they would find a landing site that was not too steep - or in the nearby sea.

Wilson said that the pair would have been in deep trouble if the fuel had run out five minutes earlier.

"If it had to run out, that was the place to be," he said. "There was an instantaneous answer to prayer as we crossed the ridge and there was an airfield - I didn't know it existed till then."

After Wilson glided the powerless craft to a landing on the grassy strip, the pair noticed they were beside a 20-foot-tall sign that read, "Jesus is Lord - The Bible."

It was a sign, yes a sign.


Wives:

I'm the kind of guy that refuses to buy clothes for myself let alone throw out or give my old clothes to the thrift shop.

My wife has mentioned on more than one occasion that she thought I should come into the modern world and update my wardrobe.

When I asked her what was wrong with the clothes I had in my closet, she told me they were so old the tags said made in the U.S.A.



Talk about an assault:

Mexican donkey freed from jail.

TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico - A Mexican donkey has been freed from jail after doing time for assault and battery.

The Televisa network on Wednesday showed "Blacky" gobbling food from a bucket after spending three days in a jail that normally holds people for public drunkenness and other disturbances.

Blacky was jailed for biting and kicking two men near a ranch outside Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital of Chiapas state.

Another wise man once said, "Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you."
