Friday Fever 25

Good afternoon friday!

Guess who just woke up. Hurs. This friday is stuck between 2 birthdays - vil and zh. Well, happy birthdays!

Once upon a time a very rich man invited all the young men in town for a party by the poolside. He announced to all that whoever can swim from one end of the pool to the other will be granted whatever he wishes.

All the men took off their trousers and moved to the edge of the pool.
Then the rich man added, "but there are a couple of hungry crocodiles inside and they haven't been fed for a week."

All the men stepped back from the edge of the pool and put their trousers back.
Nobody wanted to dive in any longer. The rich man laughed. He turned and attempted to walk away.

But suddenly, there was a splash. One man swam furiously to the other end of the pool like a torpedo. He could have beaten Phelps.

The crowd clapped and cheered as the young man clambered to safe ground.

Astonished, the rich man congratulated him, "Well done young man! Now what do you want? A million dollars?"

The young man shook his head, panting profusely while trying to regain his breath.

"Do you want to marry my daughter?" The rich man heartily laughed at the ambitious youngster, surprised.

Again the young man shook his head, still gasping for air.

"What do you want then? Tell me!" The rich man could not think of anything else to give him.

The young man exclaimed, "I just want the @#$%&! who pushed me into the pool!"



Faced with a big problem, sometimes we just need a push from others before we can overcome it, don't we?

Pleasant friday everyone!

Regards from your wisest most encouraging and supreme leader,
Felix
