Sean is the vicar of a Protestant parish in The Bronx, New York and Patrick is the priest at the Roman Catholic Church across the road.
One day they are seen together, erecting a sign in front of the Protestant Church which says:
"THE END OF THE ROAD IS NEAR.
TURN YOURSELF AROUND NOW
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."
As a car speeds past them, the driver leans out his window and yells,
"Leave people alone, you religious nutters. We don't need your lectures."
From around the next curve they hear screeching tires and a big splash.
Shaking his head, Father Patrick says "That's the third car to go in the river today"
"Yaa," Sean agrees, then adds, "Do you think maybe the sign oughta just say
"ROAD CLOSED, BRIDGE WASHED OUT"
Useless Information
Found By The Sage
While he was searching the internet for information about the postal system. Until it was outlawed in the year 1913, Your child could be sent by Parcel Post in one of their trucks to Grandma's house.
This century in history -1900 to 2000 was significant. Two world wars,a world wide depression and stock market crash. but most unimportant and forgotten was in 1904 when "The New York Times" moved its operation to a section of the city called,"Longacre Square".Nobody today remembers why they moved, But within a few weeks the City Of New York changed the name of that area of the city to "Times Square"
• Oh, I forgot another unimportant event: The Sage was born on 4/19/1931
Ellenton Mountain
Is it wonderful to live on top of Ellenton Mt.? Well sometimes. But when you wait till after a nice rain storm and go out with a couple of bags full of things to burn in the burn barrel and stop short. There in front of you is a turned over burn barrel with a large black bear having lunch and he stands
and looks at you. What would you do? Well I did and dropped the bags and not turning backed away slowly back into the kitchen. He stopped eating at the barrel and proceeded to rip apart one of the bags I was carrying. Anyone need a job? Nothing hard! just a clean up job in the back yard and burning the stuff. The guys at the club tell me to shoot a shotgun up in the air a couple of times from the back porch and he will run away. I will be busy,I need to go buy a new supply of underpants
