A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for a living. “Tim, you be first,” she said. “What does your mother do all day?”

Tim stood up and proudly said, “She’s a doctor.”

“That’s wonderful. How about you, Amie?”

Amie shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, “My father is a mailman.”

“Thank you, Amie,” said the teacher. “What about your father, Billy?”

Billy proudly stood up and announced, “My daddy murders people, steals from them, and drinks.”

The teacher was aghast and promptly changed the subject to geography. Later that day she went to Billy’s house and rang the bell. Billy’s father answered
the door. The teacher explained what his son had said and asked if there might be some logical explanation.

Billy’s father said, “I’m actually an attorney. But how can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?

Subject: Land title  FHA
————————-

Part of rebuilding New Orleans causes residents to often be challenged with the task of tracing home titles back potentially hundreds of years.

With a community rich with history stretching back over two centuries, houses have been passed along through generations of family, sometimes making it
quite difficult to establish ownership.

Here’s a great letter an attorney wrote to the FHA on behalf of a client; You’ve got to love this lawyer……

A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client. He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of property
being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803, which took the lawyer three months to track down. After sending the information
to the FHA, he received the following reply.

(Actual letter):

“Upon review of your letter adjoining your client’s loan application, we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment
the able manner in which you have prepared and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral
property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin.”

Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows (actual letter):

“Your letter regarding title in Case No. 189156 has been received. I note that you wish to have title extended further than the 194 years covered by the
present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana
was purchased, by the U.S., from France in 1803, the year of origin identified in our application.

For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France , which had acquired it by Right
of Conquest from Spain . The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus,
who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Isabella. The good queen, Isabella, being a pious woman and
almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus ‘ expedition.

Now the Pope, as I’m sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world Therefore,
I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana . God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins
date back, to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it AND the FHA. I hope you find God’s original claim to be satisfactory.

Now, may we have our loan?”

“Fair” is something that comes to your town in the summer time. It has rides and cotton candy. It has nothing to do with life.

Take care of the little things and the big things take care of themselves.

If you have to think over a situation and make a decision stick with it, but if you are still thinking it through three days later, don’t do it at all,
let it go for now. Wish I would have listened.

Work: A Retrospective

* A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the pants.

* Don’t be irreplaceable, if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.

* You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

* When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

* Everything can be filed under “miscellaneous.”

* To err is human, to forgive is not company policy.

* There is never enough time to do it right the first time, but there is always enough time to do it over.

* If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

* When you don’t know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

* The longer the title, the less important the job.

* Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.

Mr. Dewey was briefing his client, who was about to testify in his own
defense. “You must swear to tell the complete truth. Do you understand?”

The client replied that he did. The lawyer then asked, “Do you know what
will happen if you don’t tell the truth?”

The client looked back and said, “I imagine that our side will win.”

It doesn’t get any better than this.

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not
knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide
the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its
fruit. The other man’s parcel of land remained barren.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had
nothing. Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island.
Heb boarded the ship with decided to leave the second man on the island.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?” “My blessings are
mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything.”

“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.” “Tell
me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”

“He prayed that all your prayers be answered.”

This is Rex Barker, reminding you that our blessings are rarely the result of our our own prayers but also the fruits of others praying for us.
