RE: Bad joke: The delivery man...

[AustinBoston]

 
There was a man who delivered coal.  His name was Jay.  He delivered his coal all across the heavens in a special delivery craft.
 
 Each time he travelled his regular route, it took three vikes, a type of space distance.  Usually, he did the route with a friend named Omeano.
 
 Although he had a regular route, which he called a trail, Jay didn t keep a regular schedule.  No one ever knew when he would arrive.
 
 He actually had a whole fleet of these craft, and none of them kept a shedule.  But the one he flew was special to him.
 
 His special craft was showing signs of wear, so Omeano told him about a company that made liners for delivery craft.  They came in four sizes, AA, A, B, and C.  He could avoid getting a new craft by getting a new liner.  So he ordered a new liner for his favorite coal delivery craft.
 
 One day, Omeano suggested that Jay should incorporate his coal delivery service, and Jay he decided he would.  
 
 From then on, whenever he would pop up, as was his trail manner (and like his whole fleet would), he was known as the coal man from Jay Co., vikeing around the galaxy in his star craft with the A-liner along with his pal Omeano.

 Life as Rocks (and Beer)
 
 A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the
 table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a
 very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks,
 about 2"  in diameter.
 
 He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it
 was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
 into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled
 into the open areas between the rocks.
 
 He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it
 was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
 Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more
 if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous " Yes."
 
 The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and
 proceeded to pour their entire contents into the jar - effectively
 filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
 
 " Now,"  said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to
 recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the
 important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children
 - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your
 life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter -
 like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The
 small stuff."
 
 " If you put the sand into the jar first,"  he continued " there is no
 room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you
 spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have
 room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the
 things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children.
 Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There
 will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party
 and fix the disposal.
 
 Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your
 priorities. The rest is just sand."
 
 One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer
 represented. The professor smiled. " I m glad you asked. It just goes to
 show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there s always room
 for a couple of beers.
