The mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not 

enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before 

his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he 

wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with

 golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. 

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the

 jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then ask

ed the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked

 up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything 

else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous

 "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured 

the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. 

The students laughed. "Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you 

to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important 

things--- your family, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if

 everything else was lost and only they remained , your life would still be full. The

 pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. 

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first,

" he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for

 life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have

 room for the things that are important to you. "Pay attention to the things that are

 critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Spend time with your parents. 

Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to 

dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the 

disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your

 priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired

 what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad! you asked. It just goes

 to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a 

couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Understanding women

I know I'm not going to understand women.

I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it 
onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still 
be afraid of a spider.

There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally 
and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-
Killer (WORK).

If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or 
anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe 
out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and 
take two good friends to the nearest bar. Purchase the antidote 
known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE) or 
Bothersome-Employer-Eliminator-Rebooter (BEER). Take the 
antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated 
from your system.

You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 
5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is 
controlling your life.
