It has nothing to do with anything serious, but it made me SMILE and there has been precious little smiling here of late. If it does that for you, then it's been worthwile.......................if not, just ignore it and move on.


The following letter was forwarded by someone who teaches at a small
high school in country NSW (Australia). The letter was sent to the
principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the
elderly.

This story is a credit to all humankind.

Read it, soak it in, and bask in the warm feeling that it leaves you
with.

Dear School,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior
citizen's luncheon. I'm 94 years old and live at the local County Home
for the Aged.

My family has long since passed away and I rarely have visitors. As a
result, I have very limited contact with the outside world. This makes
your gift especially welcome.

My roommate, Maggie Cook, has had her own radio for as long as I've
known her.

She listens to it all the time, though usually with an earplug or with
the volume so low, I can't hear it. For some reason, she has never wanted
to share it.

Last Sunday morning, while listening to her morning gospel programs,
she accidentally knocked her radio off its shelf.

It smashed into many pieces, and caused her to cry. It was so sad.

Fortunately, I had my new radio. Knowing this, Maggie asked if she
could listen to mine.


I told her to f*ck off.

God bless you.
Sincerely,
Edna Johnson

This is a classic!

I printed it and "suckered" everyone at work into reading it thinking it was legit. Every single one bursted out in laughter!
