Good morning friday!
A newly married couple was planning to visit Hawaii.
"It's pronounced as Havaii," said the husband.
"No, it's Hawaii," the wife insisted.
They argued about it during the entire flight, right up until they disembarked in Oahu.
The husband approached a man at the arrival gate and asked, "Can you settle an argument for us? Is it pronounced as Hawaii or Havaii?"
"This is Havaii," the man replied.
"Ha!" said the husband to the wife. "See I told you I'm right." The husband turned back to the man, shook his hand and said, "Thank you!"
"You're velcome."
Pleasant friday everyone!
Regards from your wisest most talented and amazing leader,

In Fine Feather
Good Morning Friday,It's been awhile since I've spoken to many of you. Hopefully everyone's doing well. I'm sure all of you are working hard at your own commitments, likewise for me.
Myself, I'll be fulfilling my obligated liability towards our country in about a month's time. Having spent monotonous days in these 2 years, I experienced frustrations, unreasonableness, difficulties, and though they might not be the harshest treatments people may think, there was no option to quit, thus an extremely tough test of endurance for me. Through these days, I found something I long for, very much.
I incorporated that into the Friday Logo. It's a quill that stands for freedom.
Today's context is, more often than not, a person may take his rights of doing what he wants for granted. What he doesn't realise is that the rights he has had actually been paid at someone else's expense. You have been enjoying freedom at the cost of others. Now I'm not saying it's a bad thing, because I too received such luxury. I'm reiterating the fact to appreciate the price of freedom, because it is simply too expensive.
I want you to know, Friday, you are granted liberty in this FAM. You are given the freedom of speech, of action, of choice. You are entitled the pleasure of making your own decisions here, this is what the feather signifies. We all have our own constraints and it would be impossible to cater to everyone's needs. Yet there is no pressure on you to commit time and efforts to Friday. What you are expected to do here, is enjoy the leisure, release the stress and just be yourself. Thus, I hope you can recognise the extravagance of this, especially in this world of reality. Freedom is not something that can be obtained easily. The extent of such luxury is bounded to the consideration for others. People may feel that what they want differ from what you want. I trust all of you mature young adults to exercise independence, balance your lifestyle and achieve freedom your own way while appreciating the limitations of such privilege.
Honestly, for being such a small FAM, we've shown results which are actually impressive for us to attain. This cannot have been done without everyone's contribution. And I look forward to that, on board this journey taking pleasure in our accomplishments, you too as an individual will find a purpose in a goal truly to yourself and of course, fall back on the feathers in this nest should you need our support. So when you do succeed earning your freedom, please share it with the people who work hard for this common aspiration in their lives.
Go forth spread your wings and fly everyone!
Leader of Friday,
Felix

Good morning friday!
My boss was complaining in a staff meeting the other day that he wasn't getting any respect. Later that morning he went out and got a small sign that read, "I'm the boss." He then taped it to his office door.
Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that wrote ,"Your wife called, she wants her sign back!"
Pleasant friday everyone!

Good morning friday!
General McKenzie was in charge of the Navy, and he was visiting his colleague General Marshall, who was in charge of the Army. McKenzie arrives at the military camp and is greeted by Marshall. They both walk around the place, and McKensie asks: "So how are your men?"
"Very well trained, Gral. McKenzie."
"I hope so. You see, my men over at the Navy are so well trained, you could see they're the bravest men all over the country."
"Well, my men are very brave, too."
"I'd like to see that."
So Marshall calls a private and says: "Private Johnson! I want you to stop that tank coming here with your body!"
"Are you crazy? It'd kill me, you idiot! I'm out of here!"
As private Johnson ran away, Marshall turned to a bewildered McKenzie and said:
"You see? You have to be pretty brave to talk like that to a general."
Pleasant friday everyone!

Good afternoon friday!
Farmer Joe decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Farmer Joe.
"Didn't you say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'", asked the lawyer. Farmer Joe responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite mule Bessie into the..."
Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'." The lawyer interrupted.
Farmer Joe said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and as I was driving down the road..."
The lawyer cut in again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the highway patrolman on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."
By this time the judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say."
Joe thanked the judge and proceeded, "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other."
"I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear Bessie moaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans."
"Shortly after the accident a highway patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie's groans so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out a gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me."
He said, "Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her."
"How are you feeling?"
