    In an interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

    His answer was classic Schwarzkopf.

    The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function... OUR job is to arrange the meeting."

    Excellent that, and a worthy post to bring up 1000 pages, of a very fine thread.

    As a guitarist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost.

    I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

    I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.

    The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.

    And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my guitar and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

    As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”

    Apparently, I’m still lost…

    Ellie Simmonds was left distraught after she was voted off Strictly Come Dancing ...

    ... "Being voted off was bad enough but the consolation prize was a lifetime free pass to Alton Towers."

    Three pregnant women attended hospital to find the gender of their babies

    While chatting in the waiting room one lady said she was sure hers would be a boy cause during sex she was on the bottom

    Another Lady said she was sure hers would be a girl cause she was on top

    The third one a Blond said can't wait to see my puppies

    I would think the vast majority will be cut n paste but it would be good to hit that milestone with an original.
