The Perfect Husband

Several men are in a locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker function and begins to talk. The other men stop to listen.

Then he asks: “Anyone know who this phone belongs to?”

The Declaration of Rotarians in Business and Professions was adopted by the Rotary International Council on Legislation in 1989 to provide more specific guidelines for the high ethical standards called from in the Object of Rotary:

Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others and to improve the quality of life in my community.

God's E-mail

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the unholy behavior that was going on. He decided to send an angel to Earth to check it out. So he sent an angel to Earth for a time.

When the angel returned, he told God, "Yes, it truly is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not."

God was not pleased. So He decided to E-mail the 5% that were good, because He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what the E-mail said? Just wondering, I didn't get one either...
