life insurance jokes
Many years ago a friend of mine asked me what the smallest part of the body. I was very young and probably very stupid at the time and I responded with "Duh, a finger. He said: "It is the tongue." He also told me that although the language is the smallest body part that can do more harm. I never forgot the conversation I had with him, unfortunately, now deceased and I miss him a lot. I would take much more of his advice and teaching. Our words can really do some damage. Damage can sometimes be long-lived, and sometimes not even know what they were doing, probably because they simply were never taught how to close-up. Children and adults can shoot off their mouths and think they're being funny, or that they stand by themselves, when in fact may be doing more harm than good. I was watching a baseball game very little and said one of the players go crazy on a third strike. This is a grown man. Had to be restrained by 3 other players and the manager. Of course it was ejected from the game. He was also banned for three games at right in the middle of a pennant race. I guess I really showed them. What a fool.
We also like to laugh at someone else expense. My philosophy is that if both are not laughing, not funny. Children today have a real problem with behavior like this. They say things, make people laugh and really hurt the feelings of another person. Do not even believe that are aware of the fact that people are listening and not everyone is impressed with his wit, and they are creating a negative image of themselves in the minds of others.
This wonderful friend of mine told me about the language was also full of illustrations and stories that were inspiring and instructional. Illustrated this social problem with a true story that I always refer to as the "Deaf Boy Story" and worth sharing here.
There were two boys who were brothers. One boy was deaf. I had a friend who hung out with them all the time. This friend was the biggest prankster on two feet. He was always telling jokes or laugh someone or something. One day the three boys left the house and this joker started to make fun of how the deaf child speak. Well, no deaf child could hear, and brother laughed half-heartedly and left the house. No harm no foul? The deaf child could not hear what anyone was hurt. Nobody else heard correctly? Nothing was heard that the deaf child's father, who was reading the newspaper in the study.
Let's fast forward the tape. In the time of this incident the two boys were sophomores in college. Two years passed and both graduated in business administration. Both were on the job hunt. This joker was an interview with a major insurance company. He had to go through a stage of the recruitment process. He had to meet with Vice President of the company. Who do you think the Vice President was? The father of the deaf child, and the perception that this couple had only been that had ridiculed his son. It took … … .. work. People hear and see well. You never know when you will need someone or something. Things that are the major desires our hearts are the things that are withheld from us because of our words or actions past. Self-control is important and if your tongue, a body part ounce, has more control over what you have on it cost you when you least expect it. You never know.
