Joke
As
the crowded airliner is about to take off, the peace was shattered
by a five-year-old boy, who picked that moment to throw a
wild temper tantrum. No matter what his frustrated, embarrassed
mother did to try to calm him down, the boy continued to scream
furiously and kick the seats around him.
Suddenly,
from the rear of the plane, an elderly man in the uniform
of an Air Force General was seen slowly walking forward up
the aisle. Stopping by the flustered mother with an upraised
hand, the white-haired, courtly, soft-spoken General leaned
down and, motioning toward his chest, whispering something
into the boy's ear.
Instantly,
the boy calmed down, gently took his mother's hand, and quietly
fastened his seat belt.
All
the other passengers burst into spontaneous applause. As the
General slowly made his way back to his seat, one of the cabin
attendants touched his sleeve.
"Excuse
me, General," she asked quietly, "but could I ask
you what magic words you used on that little boy?"
The
old man smiled serenely and gently confided, "I showed
him my pilot's wings, service stars, and battle
ribbons, and explained that they entitle me to throw one passenger
out the plane door, on any flight I choose."

Tips
Ø Add a cupful of instant dried milk to a basin of
warm water. Mix well and use as a luxurious skin softening
foot bath.
Ø A drink for good hair - mix a glass of carrot juice,
the juice of 1 lime and 1 tbsp yeast. Drink this daily.
Ø Wipe Venetian blinds with a pair of socks worn on
your hand as a glove. This will enable you to clean every
corner and slant of the blind.
