A nice story to start the day!
This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a
group of building workers. It’s allegedly true and might help to confirm
your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human
race………………..
A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a
gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot.
The young family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all
the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.
She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold,
more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They
chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch
breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel
important.
They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled
her immensely.
At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a
pay envelope – containing two dollars in 10c coins. The little girl took
her ‘pay’ home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the
bank the next day to open a savings account.
At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little
girl telling her about her ‘work’ on the building site and the fact she
had a ‘pay packet’.
‘You must have worked very hard to earn all this’, said the cashier.
The little girl proudly replied, ‘Yes, I worked every day with Steve and
Wayne and Mike. We’re building a big house.’
‘My goodness gracious,’ said the cashier, ‘And will you be working on the
house again next week?’
The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously:
‘I think so. Provided those f*cking wankers at Boral deliver the f*cking
bricks on time.’

A man went to his lawyer and told him, “My neighbor owes me $500 and he doesn’t want to pay up. What should I do?”
“Do you have any proof?”, asked the lawyer. “Nope,” replied the man.
“Okay, then write him a letter asking him for the $1,000 he owes you,” said the lawyer.
“But it’s only $500!” replied the man.
“Precisely, that’s what he will reply and we will have the proof we need,” said the lawyer.

The professor of a Contract Law class asked one of his better students, “If you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about it?”
The student replied, “Here’s an orange.”
The professor was outraged.”No! No! Think like a lawyer!”

I will tell him – “I hereby give and convey to you all and singular, my estate and interests, rights, claim, title and advantages of and in, said orange, together with all its rind, juice, pulp and seeds, and all rights and advantages with full power to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise eat, the same, or give the same away with and without the pulp, juice, rind and seeds, anything herein before and hereinafter or in any deed, or deeds, instruments of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding.”

A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter.
Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.
Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, “Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?”
The lawyer replied, “Of course, how much was the roast?” “$7.98.”
A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98.
Attached to it was an invoice that read: ‘Legal Consultation Service: $150.

THE BUZZARD
In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee.
We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!
