Smileys

Today is black Monday.
A new week starts and nobody likes going to school or office.
So, here are two incidents taken from Rex Barker's "Joke of the Day" to lighten your burden.

Maths Miracles ...
Little Rahul, was failing in maths. His parents tried everything. Tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers, but nothing helped. As a last resort, someone told them to try a Catholic School.

"Those nuns are tough" they said.

Rahul was soon enrolled at St Helen's. After school on the very first day Rahul ran through the door and straight to his room, without even kissing his mother. He started studying furiously, books and papers spread all over his room. Right after dinner, he ran upstairs without mentioning TV and hit the books harder than before. His parents were amazed.

This behavior continued for weeks, until report card day arrived. Rahul quietly laid the envelope on the table and went to his room. With great trepidation, his mother opened the report.

Rahul had an gotten an 'A +' in maths!
She ran up to his room, threw her arms around him and asked,
"Rahul , how did this happen? Was it the nuns?"

"No" said Rahul. "On the first day of school when I saw that man nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around".

Would You Light My Candle...

Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when she met up with Father Flaherty.
The Father said, 'Top o' the mornin' to ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan and didn't I marry ye and yer hoosband 2 years ago?'
She replied, 'Aye, that ye did, Father.'
The Father asked, 'And be there any wee little ones yet?'
She replied, 'No, not yet, Father.'
The Father said, 'Well now, I'm going to Rome next week and I'll light a candle for ye and yer hoosband.'
She replied, 'Oh, thank ye, Father.'
They then parted ways.
Some years later they met again.
The Father asked, 'Well now, Mrs. Donovan , how are ye these days?'
She replied, 'Oh, very well, Father!'
The Father asked, 'And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?'
She replied, 'Oh yes, Father! Three sets of twins and 4 singles, 10 in all!'
The Father said, 'That's wonderful! How is yer loving hoosband doing?'
She replied, 'E's gone to Rome to blow out yer candle.'
