THE HURRICANE TOWN




























A natural endowment perhaps seems parlous,
upon a little town situated the rainforest.
Surrounded by distinct vermins and scums of the earth,
basking stealthily not with the geriatrics of the land.
Preening her unruly children for recognition,
and accepting her deserved grace with no malice.
It had solidified the fate of her manacled sons,
extirpating their unflinching resolve for success.
No remorse

Strong Man's Bet --------------------

A strong young man at a construction site was bragging that he could out do anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had enough.
'Why don't you put your money where your mouth is,' he said.
'I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won't be able to wheel back.
'You're on, old man,' the braggart replied. Let's see you do it.'
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to the young man, he Said,
'All right, Dumb Ass, get in.'

Two Shots That Changed The World




On June 28, 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist fired two shots on the street of Sarajevo, Bosnia killing Archduke Francis Ferdinand (heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary). Principe likely had no idea the avalanche he had just caused. A small group of young nationalist plotted to assassinate Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand during his visit to Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia, on June 28. One youth threw a small bomb but missed his target, and others failed to act when the time came. Gavrilo Princip was the one conspirator who succeeded—and only by sheer accident. How so?
