A man entered a pet shop, wanting to buy a parrot. The shop owner pointed out three identical parrots on a perch and said, "The parrot to the left costs 500 dollars."

"Why does that parrot cost so much?" the man wondered.

The owner replied, "Well, it knows how to use a computer."

The man asked about the next parrot on the perch.

"That one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to use the UNIX operating system." Naturally, the startled customer asked about the third parrot.

"That one costs 2,000 dollars."

"And what does that one do?" the man asked.

The owner replied, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a thing, but the other two call him boss!"

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.

The blonde cop asked to see the blonde's driver's license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. 'What does it look like?' she finally asked. The policewoman replied, 'It's square and it has your picture on it.'

The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman. 'Here it is,' she said.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, 'Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop.

Art in church

Really like this post by Naked Pastor...

Think he's hit the nail on the head here with this bit...

The church is generally a censorious community. In this environment art is
sanitized, tame and conformist. It is still art, but functions as a
reinforcement of the system. Expression is controlled and edited from start to
finish. This kills art because it kills creativity because it kills freedom.
Instead, allow people to be free without scrutiny. (I even hate the word “allow”
because it assumes it needs to be given when it is already ours.)

In due time, after people begin to realize that they are loved and accepted
unconditionally, the creative spirit will surface and artistic diversity will
abound. This is the harder but more genuine way. It means taking care of the
roots. If the root is unfettered freedom, then fruitful and artistic living
happens. It is the diversity of human expression of personality that makes the
artful life. Until this is nurtured art will be repressed.

Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."
Lawyer: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"
Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."

Glass Blowing Class

Took a glass blowing class today! Had a great time!! Made a paperweight and a vase.
Learned tons about glass history including that it was illegal to teach glass blowing in Italy until 1946. Apparently glass blowing was a $12 Billion industry and the Italian government wanted to control who could make the glass.
It was a great experience today learning how to work with and control molten glass. The key was to keep turning the pole that the ball of glass was on so that it stayed in balance. Would definately do this again!!
