For some time now, I’ve been considering getting myself a boat. Partly as a project to fill my time and also so that I can have some fun and go fishing.
So, I sort of stumbled on this beauty and thought that it would be an ideal “doer upper”.

I can just imagine what the teachers thought as they came across these. Classic.
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven.
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. ‘Since you’ve been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.’Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ‘I want to hang out with God.’

People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.

I have just received this story by email. I don’t know if it is true but I do like the story, it has the requisite chortle factor …..
UPDATE: I just did a bit of digging on the interweb and discovered that this is a bit of an urban myth which has been around since about 2009.
