This photo was in the collection GrannyJ sent me the other day. I didn't include it in that post because it was quite different from the others. I find it strangely beautiful...

Southern funnies
View sent us this joke and I saw the other one on Facebook. Thanks, View.
A student went to Alabama on a football scholarship. He was a great running back, but a poor student.
At graduation, he didn't have enough credits. But he was a great football star and the students held a rally and demanded the dean give him a diploma anyway. They were so insistent that the dean agreed that if he could answer one question correctly he would give him a diploma.
The one question test was held in the auditorium and all the students packed the place. It was standing room only.
The dean was on the stage and told him to come up. The dean had the diploma in his hand and said, "sir, if you can answer this question correctly I'll give you your diploma." He said he was ready and the dean asked him the question. "Sir," he said, "How much is three times seven?"
He looked up at the ceiling and the down at his shoes, just pondering the question. The Alabama students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway! Graduate him anyway!"
Then he held up his hand and the auditorium became silent. He said, "I think I know the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one."
A hush fell over the auditorium and the Alabama students began another chant. "Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"

Not realistic...
I've always thought Tom & Jerry was a bit weird, considering that we may get a cat to get rid of mice. Jerry is the hero and Tom is the baddie, it doesn't make sense... This photo is funny, though.

Staying positive
Amy sent us some examples of people being helpful to each other. There are more positive than negative things going on around us, but they don't get reported very often (and sometimes we forget to pay attention).
Thank you, Amy.
Thank you, Amy.

Food, glorious food
I saw this on Facebook and agree with it.
Unfortunately, the next thought I had was about Monsanto, in which case the first picture would not necessarily show food that's good for you...

Sightseeing with the nephew
My nephew returned to Dublin on Tuesday and we uploaded the photos he took with his phone to my computer before he left. TW, CC and IG will recognize some of the places in Uzerche and Treignac (we didn't make it as far as Tulle when they came over).
UZERCHE
TREIGNAC
