A girl started not to talk ever since she was raped. She also could not walk.
One day a man (a stranger) visited her at her home. As soon as she saw her, her eyes grew big and she hurriedly grabbed her pen and paper. After writing what she wanted to say, she gave it to her brother.
Her brother yelled, "Dad, he's the rapist!"
Immediately her father and three brothers grabbed the man and exhausted their strengths hurting him. The only thing that stopped them was when the victim was able to talk and shouted, "Stop!" They were all silenced by it. Then she pointed at the paper.
Her father took it and curiously looked at it. To his surprise, it read, "He's Therapist."
Poor guy. he was just there to help her recover.

I Eat Your God
Children can be funny. They do stuff that make us adults laugh. What makes it even better is that most of the time they didn't mean to be funny.
They are innocent. They do what they do because they want to do it. They say what they say because they want to say it.
What's more interesting is that children of today get to interact with people from different nations. This story is about two kids from different countries and therefore from different cultures.
It was lunch time so all children in the daycare center sat on their chairs at the dining area. One of them have corned beef and another have mixed vegetables. The latter is a vegetarian.
They were seating next to each other so both of them can see each other's plate. The boy who had corned beef asked, "What are you eating?" He answered, "Vegetables. How about you?" "Corned beef," he said.
The vegetarian asked their daycare teacher, "Miss, what's corned beef made of?" "Beef. That's meat of cows," the teacher answered. "oh, we don't eat cows. That's our God."
Then the boy who's eating corned beef said, "I eat your God."

Lady Thanks The Man Who Offered A Seat
In the Philippines, public transport system is different. We don't have a schedule or estimated time of arrival of the one we're waiting for. A good advantage of it, is that passengers are not bound by set time. They can leave anytime they want with an assurance that a bus will come.
A good thing about Filipino commuters is that gentlemen offer their seat to women and senior citizens when there is none available for them. Although this is no longer true for all men, there are still some who do.
In a city in the Philippines, there is this man who would always offer his seat to women and seniors. One day, as he offers one lady, this lady fainted. To his concern, he brought her to the nearest hospital. When she got her consciousness back, he asked, "What happened there?" She replied, "I'm okay. I was just surprised with what you did. I have been riding the same bus route everyday for almost a decade now. This is actually the first time a real man offered his seat for me."
The man didn't really know how to react because it was a very normal thing for him. Then the lady continued, "Thank you." This time the guy fainted.
When he got his consciousness back, the lady was still there. She asked, "What happened to you?" The guy replied, "I have been offering my seat in the bus for more than a decade now. You were the first to actually thank me."
Perhaps, some good people stop doing good because they are no longer appreciated.

7 Signs That Will Determine If You Have An Oversized Tummy
I was not a sporty dude but my high school friends were. They would include me in their basketball and volleyball team literally because I am their friend. I mean I don't have any significant contribution but I get a lot of playing time. That's what friends are for, right? No one gets left behind. Haha!
I started growing my tummy when I was in college. I wish I could blame beer for it but I still have it 13 years after I stopped drinking. I may or may not represent people on this: "At first, it hurts when people recognizes our big tummy." I mean we put a lot of effort to make all parts of our body presentable if not attractive but they just can't help it. I never thought I'd say this but I'm just thankful I have mine for nearly a decade now.
A good plan to trim it down the healthy way would be awesome but I say you have to admit it first. Since it hurts when it comes from other people, here are some signs to watch for to determine if you really have an oversized tummy (aside from the need to buy new pants of course).
1. You can't tie your shoe laces. Obviously this is because it's now a challenge to bend and reach anything on the ground. Buying shoes without laces is an alternative solution to this.
2. You can't cut your toe nails. Again this is due to added challenge in bending and reaching because tummy is on the way.
4. Your arms do a lot of work when sitting on the ground and getting up. It's like you need a third foot to make this activity a lot easier.
6. Getting off a car is a burden. Opening the door is easy but stepping out of it is what really challenging. It's hard to lift your legs because again, tummy is hindering it.
7. You need someone to help you measure your weight. Well, measuring your weight is easy - just step on and that's it. You need someone to help you because you can't see what figure it gives - your tummy is covering it.
These are just some of things to watch out for so you will at least be aware of your tummy's condition. We don'have to be ashamed of it but like I said, a good plan to trim it down the healthy way would be awesome.

Husband Calls His Wife
A tired husband went home from work. He then saw his wife cooking as he enters the door.
With a low voice, he asked, "What are you cooking?"
Thinking his voice was not loud enough, he asked her again with a louder tone, "What are you cooking?"
Feeling frustrated, he walked closer to her and asked, "What are you cooking?"
The wife then turned around and said, "For the third time, it's curry!"
Hmmm... now who did not hear who?

Beautiful Girl Desires A Better Life
A beautiful girl from a third world country desires to have a better life. She would complain every single day about peeling potatoes for a living.
Very eager to change the course of her life, she thought the only way out of peeling potatoes is a rich husband. This she had in mind because she was not able to go to school. She knows how to write though. Her parents taught her how.
To achieve this, she decided to look for a pen pal. True enough, she found a rich man and later married her. She said good bye to all her co-peelers, saying, "Bye everyone. Take care of your hands. You need those while I stay beautiful and rich."
After getting married, her husband introduced her to his clan and to their family business - potato chips. Starting that day, she'll join all the girls of their clan peeling potatoes.

Getting To The Other Side
I read this one somewhere.
A man was on a cliff and wanted to go to the other side of the cliff but could not figure out how.
When he saw a boy wandering on the other side, he shouted, "Hey, how did you get to the other side?"
The boy answered, "You are on the other side!"
