1064 - Names

Read this and think about YOUR kids names.....


A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.

To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy."

He turned to the second mom, Ann. "Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."

He turned to the third mom, Joyce. "Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy."

At this point the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Let's pick up Peter and Willy from school and go get dinner."

And now if you're still snowbound, here's a story that will make you think about your predicament in a little lighter vein. Things could be worse for you. A lot worse.

Yep, an oldie but goodie. I heard it a different way, in that there were three couples who'd been killed in a traffic accident and were approaching the Pearly Gates. St Peter turned the first two couples away because of greed (wife named Penny) and alcohol (wife named Sherry)...upon hearing this, the third man turned to his wife and said, "I've got a bad feeling about this, Fanny."
