Sand in my Shoes<\/b><\/p>\n
Imagine all of the obstacles a person might have to overcome if he were to walk from New York City to San Francisco. One man who accomplished this rare achievement mentioned a rather surprising difficulty when asked to tell of his biggest hurdle. He said that the toughest part of the trip wasn\u2019t traversing the steep slopes of the mountains or crossing hot, dry, barren stretches of desert. Instead, he said, \u201cThe thing that came the closest to defeating me was the sand in my shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Ned There?<\/b><\/p>\n
Two drunks were in a railroad station at midnight, discussing the difference between irritation, aggravation, and frustration. They couldn\u2019t agree. One finally said, \u201cI\u2019ll show you the difference.\u201d He went to the phone booth, circled a number in the book and called it. After ringing and ringing, it was finally answered. \u201cIs Ned there?\u201d \u201cNO! There\u2019s no Ned here,\u201d and the phone was slammed down. \u201cThat\u2019s irritation,\u201d he said to his friend. After another 20 minutes he called again. The phone rang and rang. Finally someone answered and the drunk asked, \u201cIs Ned there?\u201d The answer came back, \u201cThere is no Ned here! I told you before!\u201d \u2014SLAM. \u201cThat\u2019s aggravation,\u201d he said to his partner. Another 20 minutes went by, and the drunk said, \u201cNow I\u2019ll show you frustration,\u201d and he made another call. Finally the phone was answered, \u201cI told you before, there\u2019s no Ned here!!!\u201d \u201cBut this is Ned\u2014any messages for me?\u201d<\/p>\n
