THOUGHTLESS, SELF-CENTERED, AND FOOLISH!!!!

It was more out of boredom from sitting around on a cold, rainy, late February day than anything else that we decided to take a drive to Goderich and pick up a few groceries.  While there, I was curious to have a look at the ice situation down around the harbor.  Saw a couple of police cars stopped along the lakeside road.  At the same time, I saw a single individual walking far out on the offshore ice pack.  With the extremely hazardous condition of the melting lake ice over the past few days, I thought about how foolish it would be for someone to venture out that far on the thinning, unstable, and shifting ice.  Not only foolish, but how thoughtless and self-centered this person must be.  If this individual falls through the ice that far from the shoreline, he would not have long to live in the icy Lake Huron water.  He was not only putting himself in danger, but he was also putting the lives of firefighters and rescue personnel in danger as well, while either trying to help him or retrieve his body.  Thoughtless, self-centered, and foolish!!!!

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Wandering dejectedly in The Garden of Eden, Eve told God, "I'm lonely I'm tired of eating apples by myself." "Okay," God said, "I'll create a man for you." Eve said, "A man! What's that?" "He's a creature with aggressive tendencies and an enormous ego. He won't listen very well, he'll get lost easily, but never stop to ask for directions. However, he is big and strong, he can open jars and hunt animals. "Sounds great!" said Eve. "Oh, and one more thing," God said. "He will want to believe that I made HIM first."

Quasimodo goes to a doctor for an annual checkup. "I think something is wrong with your back," the doctor says. "What makes you think that?" asks Quasimodo. "I don't know," the doctor replies. "It's just a hunch."

Two attorneys went into a diner and ordered two drinks. Then they produced sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. The owner became quite concerned and marched over and told them, "You can't eat your own sandwiches in here!" The attorneys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and then exchanged sandwiches.

A frog telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told: "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you." The frog says: "This is great! Will I meet her at a party?" "No," says the psychic: "Next semester, in her biology class."

  2. You're absolutely right, Al. That fellow out on the ice is selfish and risks his life as well as others who will have to come help him. I hope the police were there because someone called them worried about the person. Only rescuers dragging a dinghy behind them should even attempt to go out there. He may have mental health issues and needs to be in a hospital under care.
