Whenever I vote, I ALWAYS say Hazel for Prime Minister. And I always get a resounding ' But Hazel isn`t running for Prime Minister '

She bloody well needs to!

The "Crabby" Wife

( CAPE BRETON HUMOUR)

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident in Ingonish, a man answered his door to find two grim-faced Mounties.




"We're sorry sir, but we have some information about your wife said one Mountie.




"Tell me! Did you find her?" the husband shouted.




The Mounties looked at each other.




One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?”




Fearing the worst, the ashen husband said, "Give me the bad news first."




The Mountie said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in the bay."




"Oh my God!" exclaimed the husband. Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good news?"




The Mountie continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five pound snow crabs and 6 good-sized lobsters clinging to her."




Stunned, the husband demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news?"




The Mountie said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow."

Hello! You may have read or heard this story before. It's a fascinating story and would like to pass it along again. Cheers to Stanford!
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and walked timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's outer office.

The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard & probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge ..

"We'd like to see the president," the man said softly.

"He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped.

"We'll wait," the lady replied.

For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away.

They didn't, and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted.

"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave," she said to him!

He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, and he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office.

The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.

The lady told him, "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."

The president wasn't touched. He was shocked.

"Madam," he said, gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a
cemetery."

"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."

The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard."

For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now.

The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it cost to start a university? Why don't we just start our own? "

Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment.

Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the university that bears their
name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.

It's not such an outlandish story. I've written several times about this lady:
