"It is the best filled stalk of corn that bends it's head the lowest."
The Post Room Supplied by Andy Stovel
Walter, a young man who went to work for the largest corporation in the world. The personnel director told Walter he must start at the bottom and work his way up, so he began work in the mailroom. Walter liked his job, but often daydreamed about what it would be like to be an executive, the president, maybe even chairman of the board! One day as Walter was dividing the mail, he saw a cockroach in the corner of the room. As he walked over to step on it Walter heard a tiny voice crying out, "Don't kill me! I'm Milton the cockroach, and if you spare me I'll grant all your wishes." Walter agreed that was a good arrangement, and he spared Milton's life.
Walter's first wish was to leave the mailroom and become a vice president, so Milton granted the wish. In fact, Milton granted wish after wish until finally Walter was chairman of the board of the largest corporation in the world, with an office on the top floor of the tallest building in the world. Everyone looked up to Walter and he was very happy. Walter often said to himself, "I am Walter, and I'm at the top. No one is bigger or more important then me."
Then one day Walter heard footsteps on the roof, and went out to find a small boy on his knees, praying. "Are you praying to Walter?" he asked - after all, he was the chairman of the board of the largest corporation in the world - but the boy replied, "Oh, no. I'm praying to God," Walter was quite disturbed by this turn of events, so he returned to his office and sent for Milton the cockroach. "I have another wish," he told Milton. "I want to be like God." And so Milton granted Walter's wish.
The next day Walter was back in the mailroom.
Clean Laugh
A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted,
"Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!!"
The doctor calmly responded,
"Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."
