I've Been Having A Case Of The "tomorrow"s For Abt A Month Now. To Drive The Point Home, God Let Me Forget

Writer’s Block

Once, a rich man lost all that he had. To support his family, he became a day laborer, working hard from dawn until dusk. One day, Elijah appeared to him disguised as an Arab and told him that he was destined to be blessed with a gift of seven prosperous years. “Do you want them now or at the end of your life?” Elijah asked him. “I will ask my wife for advice,” the man replied. … “Ask for them now,” his wife said, “for if we ask for them at the end of our lives, we will know that we have but seven years to live.” … That day, his children uncovered a chest of gold coins while they were digging in their yard. “Let us use this gift wisely,” advised his wife. And so they shared their good fortune generously with those less fortunate. At the end of seven years, Elijah returned to take back his gift. … [The man’s wife advised], “Tell him that if he can find another couple who have used such a gift more wisely than we have, he can have his treasure back.” And though Elijah traveled from one end of the earth to the other, he failed to find two more generous people. And so he never reclaimed his gift, and the couple lived to a ripe old age, opening their hands to all in need until the day they died.

A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby's father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it. The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. However, as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point, they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they got home, the mailman was dead on the porch.
