FROM THE LAUGH TRACK
from Karen Paine New
The Three Samurais
Long ago and
far away there was in the land of the Samurai a powerful emperor who needed a
new
Chief Samurai, so he sent a declaration throughout the land that he was
searching for the best one.
A year passed, and only three people showed up for the trials: a Japanese Samurai, Chinese
Samurai, and a Jewish Samurai.
The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to demonstrate why he
should be the chief Samurai. The
Japanese Samurai opened a matchbox, and out flew a bumblebee. Whoosh! Went his razor sharp
sword, and the bumblebee dropped dead on the ground in two pieces. The
emperor exclaimed: "This
is impressive
The emperor
then issued the same challenge to the Chinese Samurai; for him to demonstrate
why
he should be chosen. The Chinese Samurai also opened a matchbox, and out buzzed
a fly. Whoosh,
Whoosh! Went his great flashing sword, and the fly dropped
dead on the ground - in four small pieces.
The emperor exclaimed in awe: "That is really VERY impressive."
Now the emperor turned to the Jewish Samurai, and asked him also
to step forward and demonstrate
why he should be the head Samurai. The Jewish Samurai also opened a matchbox,
and out flew a
tiny gnat. His lightning quick sword went Whooooosh! Whooooosh! Whoooosh! But
the tiny gnat was
still alive and flying around.
The emperor,
obviously very disappointed in this display, said: "I see you are not up
to the task, for
the gnat is not dead."
The Jewish
Samurai merely smiled and said: "Circumcision is not meant to kill."

Right
now I am swamped and very far behind on e-mails. We all appreciate your prayers
concerning
Caleb. Thank all of you who remember him. I will not have time in
the next few weeks to respond to
anyone due to our moving out of this house, and we only have a few weeks to
continue to throw
away and give away and put in one pile what goes to

Born prematurely and weighing 1 pound and 3 ounces, James faces a struggle in
the short term.
Doctors have said he is displaying a great deal of stamina for such a small
baby. Thankfully the
parents, Morris and Melissa Hamby were in her parent’s hometown of
fine neonatal facility. When little James gets stronger, he
will be taken to Vanderbilt Children’s
Hospital, which is closer to his family’s

HENRY’S
CORNER
Speaking of the King, we
were weren’t we? No, not Elvis, though his birthday
will bring
thousands of the faithful to
the “King
of the Surf Guitar”, Dick Dale. In the ’50s, Dale virtually created “Surf
Music”.
While his name may not sound familiar and most of his songs won’t
strike a
familiar note, his is an incredible story. Dale worked with industry
giants
such as Leo Fender, who built the Dick Dale S ignature Stratocaster
Guitar and
James B. Lansin, JBL, who ultimately was able to build speakers
that Dale couldn’t blow-up. Unarguably
his most famous offering was his ’62 recording of “Miserlou”.
Doesn’t sound familiar? Many rate it as the best surf song ever written. Once
you hear it, you’ll say”
that DOES sound familiar, now where have I heard that?” Before you read Dale’s story, turn your
speakers on, REAL LOUD and CLICK TO HEAR "MISERLOU" which may take a few
