Pearl #1

How not to anchor on a river!
Our first pearl comes from yours truly.
Tried to anchor my boat one time and threw the anchor out into the river. We were in current and the anchor grabbed instantly. Unfortunately the rope was not tied off to the boat. Also the rope was wrapped around my left leg. Well once the anchor grabbed I was jerked leg first into the river. Not funny at the time but very funny now.

Thank God for the ability to laugh! Those who cannot laugh at life are usually the most miserable people on the face of the earth. Laughter is medicine for the soul and each one of us should stop taking ourselves so seriously. So often in life we meet those people that just take things too seriously and often do not see the humor in life. As Oscar Wilde said,

“It is a curious fact that people are never so trivial as when they take themselves seriously.”

Sharing these pearls of wisdom while humorous can actually pass on wisdom.

"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.” Douglas Adams

So shed your inhibitions and entertain us with you most humorous story of personal wisdom and remember life is short and laughter is the shock absorber that eases the blows of life.

“The Universe has an incredibly sadistic sense of humor. And I, for one, enjoy watching the poor fools who just don't get the joke.” Lynn Marshall
