• In May 1963, John Salter, a sociology teacher from the historically black Tougaloo College and NAACP youth adviser, joined black and white Tougaloo students during a sit-in at a segregated lunch counter at the Woolworth’s store in downtown Jackson. A mob of young white people doused them with sugar, mustard and ketchup and attacked Salter with brass knuckles and broken glass.

    “I was burned with cigarettes, hit and had pepper thrown in my eyes,” Salter wrote in an article published in The Guardian in 2015. “The women weren’t struck, but had their hair pulled. All the while the air was filled with obscenities, the n-word — it was a lavish display of unbridled hatred.”

    Like many civil rights activists in the 1960s, Salter was monitored by people working for the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, a state-funded spy agency that sought to preserve segregation.

  • A Catholic priest was riding on a train. A drunken man with a lipstick mark on his cheek stumbled in carrying a newspaper and reeking of cheap cigar smoke. He sat down next to the priest.
    The drunk glanced up and asked “Father, what causes arthritis?”
    The priest snapped “Too much drinking, smoking, and cavorting with loose women!”
    The drunk man raised an eyebrow. “Well, I’ll be damned.”
    A few minutes later, the priest felt bad about snapping at the drunk and said “I’m sorry I snapped at you. I didn’t mean to make light of your arthritis.”
    The drunk said… “It’s not me, Father. I just read the Pope has it.

  • Now some important philosophical questions on life .......

    Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?

    Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke?

    Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?

    Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage?

    EVER WONDER... Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

    Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

    Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

    Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?

    Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

    Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

    Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

    Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

    Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?


    You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

    Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

    Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

    If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

    Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...

    We all need to smile every once in a while.
