A couple I heard when I was a kid. \<\> Once in a land far, far away there lived a group of people called Trids. The Trids were happy except for a giant that lived on the mountain. The giant would often terrorize the Trids. The Trids, tired of the giant, sent a group led by the community’s minister to reason with the giant. But before they could even say one word the giant kicked them down the mountain. The Trids thought maybe this was because the giant was Catholic, so they sent another group, this time led by the local priest. But alas, as they approached, the giant once again kicked them all down the mountain. The Trids were upset until they thought that perhaps the giant was Jewish. Unfortunately, no Trids were Jewish, so they asked a rabbi of a different community for help. The Rabbi led a group of Trids up the mountain. The giant saw them coming and kicked all of them, except for the Rabbi, down the mountain. The Rabbi, knowing the giant’s past, wondered why he alone had not been kicked down the mountain, so he asked the giant. The giant laughed and replied “Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!” \<\> A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to “persuade” them to close. Terrified, they did so - thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars. ---

My ex wife claimed to be Monkees biggest fan. At first I didn’t believe her ‘’And then I saw her face’ I used to be obsessed with Phil Collins songs but ‘Take a look at me now’!!

`` A real stud Father Benedict of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church died after a long and fruitful pastoral career. When he got to heaven St Peter said, “Father, in recognition of your lifetime of faithful service to the Lord and your church and to all your Parishioners, God has decided to let you go back to earth for one year being and doing anything you have ever wanted to be!” “Great, I’ve always wanted to be a real stud!” Poof, back to earth he went. Several months later St Peter asked one of the angels if anyone had any news about how Father Benedict was getting along. One of the angels said, “Last we heard he was on a snow tire somewhere in the Colorado Rockies!” ---

> [@Bonum\_Legatum](#): > > “I wish they were peanuts.” That’s actually part of the meeting of Helen Hayes and her future husband Charlie MacArthur: "Helen Hayes described this scenario in the biographical book [_My Life in Three Acts_](https://www.amazon.com/Life-Three-Acts-Helen-Hayes/dp/0151636958/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501185852&sr=8-1&keywords=helen+hayes+my+life+in+three+acts), written with Katherine Hatch. Recalling the scene at a sparkling Manhattan party [in the 1920s] she tells the story this way: “I picked up a glass of sherry to fit in and retreated to a secluded niche. Twenty minutes later, a good-looking fellow with curly brown hair and sparkling green eyes came over, maybe because he felt sorry for me sitting there all alone. He held out a small paper bag. ‘Wanna peanut?’ he asked. ‘Thanks,’ I said. He poured a few in my hand and said, ‘I wish they were emeralds.’ Right then and there I fell in love.” In 1945, returning from a sojourn in India, MacArthur dropped a sack of emeralds in her lap and said, “I wish they were peanuts.” [Street Seens: Peanuts and Emeralds - Love Story and Litmus Test - Woman Around Town](https://www.womanaroundtown.com/sections/living-around/street-seens-peanuts-and-emeralds-love-story-and-litmus-test/) [https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1990/05/07/helen-hayes-full-circle/bb3a0baf-50a9-4a4f-a007-bd3fd6f6c4f0/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1990/05/07/helen-hayes-full-circle/bb3a0baf-50a9-4a4f-a007-bd3fd6f6c4f0/) [AN APPRECIATION : Always a Lady: Helen Hayes and the Grand Style](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-03-19-ca-12918-story.html#:~:text=Late%20in%20the%20evening%2C%20he,I%20wish%20they%20were%20peanuts.%E2%80%9D) ---
