Here’s a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time…. 

A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot.

One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. 

The young family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers. 

Eventually the construction crew, all of them “gems-in-the-rough,” more or less, adopted her as a kind of project mascot.

They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. 

At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope containing ten dollars.

The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars “pay” she’d received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. 

When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age.

The little girl proudly replied, “I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us.” 

“Oh my goodness gracious,” said the teller, “and will you be working on the house again this week, too?” 

The little girl replied, “I will, if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fuckin’ sheet rock…”

The British shampoo company Alpecin has set up an online baldness calculator that asks you 12 questions — and then spits out your odds of losing your hair in the years ahead.

The calculator, of course, preys on the nearly universal fear among men that they’ll go bald.

Just for fun…I did it…here’s my result:

Congratulations!

The male baldness calculator determined that you will likely not go bald even in old age.

He was found wandering at Springfield and Leckie Saturday around noon.

 A man joins a very exclusive nudist colony. On his first day there he takes off his clothes and starts to wander around. A gorgeous petite blonde walks by, smiles as she passes and the man immediately gets an erection. The woman notices his erection, comes over to him and says, “Did you call for me?”The man replies “No; what do you mean?”

She says, “You must be new here. Let me explain. It’s a rule here that if you get an erection it implies you called for me.” Smiling, she leads him to the side of the swimming pool, lies down on a towel, eagerly pulls him to her and happily lets him have his way with her.

The man happily continues to explore the colony’s facilities. He enters the sauna and as he sits down, he farts. Within seconds, a huge, hairy man lumbers out of the steam room toward him.
Did you call for me?” says the hairy man.
“No”…..what do you mean?” says the newcomer.
“You must be new,” says the hairy man, “It’s a rule that if you fart, it implies that you called for me.” The huge man easily spins him around, bends him over a bench and has his way with him.

The newcomer staggers back to the colony office, where he is greeted by the smiling, naked receptionist, “May I help you?” she says.
The man yells, “Here’s my membership card. You can have the key back and you can keep the $3200 membership fee.”
“But sir,” she replies, “You’ve only been here for a few hours. You haven’t had the chance to see all our facilities.”
“Listen lady,” replies the man…..I’m 68 years old…….I only get an erection once a month, but I fart 15 times a day! I’m outta here.
