Twenty-nine A Priest and a Bus Driver
[00:05.30]A priest and a bus driver both died and went to heaven at the same time.
[00:12.28]They get to the pearly gates where an angel greets them.
[00:17.53]The angel motions to the priest,
[00:21.39]and they both hop1 in a jeep and go out of the back door.
[00:27.25]There are about 50 acres of rolling hills,with a little cottage on a small hill.
[00:35.79]The angel turns to the priest and says,"This will be yours for eternity2.
[00:42.84]A perfect little cottage,right next to a wishing well.
[00:49.32]Anything you wish on that wishing well will come true guaranteed."
[00:56.16]The priest says,"Oh,thank you so much.This I shall enjoy!"
[01:03.32]The angel drops off the priest and goes back to the pearly gates
[01:09.07]and motions to the bus driver.
[01:12.83]They hop in a limo and go out of the front door.
[01:18.29]There are about 500 acres of land,with mountains and lakes and rivers.
[01:26.54]There is a huge castle on one of the mountains with about 200 rooms.
[01:35.09]The angel says"This will be yours for eternity.
[01:40.13]You can live in that castle with servants to wait on your hand and foot,
[01:46.89]and you can have everything you want."
[01:51.26]The bus driver looks at the angel and says,"Well,now,don't think I'm not grateful,
[01:59.90]but shouldn't the priest get all this,not me?
[02:05.47]Shouldn't I get the cottage and 50 acres instead?"
[02:11.81]The angel just laughs and says,
[02:16.67]"The reason you get all this is because when the priest preached,
[02:22.84]everyone fell asleep.Now,when you drove your bus,people prayed!"

[03:11.35]The other Side of the Story,about the idea judge other oeople favorably?
[03:18.40]I'll bet we can think of hundreds of excuses for Irving's behavior."

[03:31.20]"Come on!He was running 60 miles an hour after that cab-besides,
[03:38.17]he's healthier than Arnold Schwartzenegger."

[04:22.45]"Of course he know it's Sabbath.Didn't you see his tie?
[04:29.30]It was his 100! silk tie from italy.He never wears it during the week."

[05:13.94]-It shall have tall majestic4 mountains full of mountain goats and eagles,
[05:21.70]and beautiful sparking lakes bountiful with carp and trout5.
[05:28.86]There shall be forests full of elk6 and moose,
[05:33.82]high cliffs overlooking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life,
[05:41.37]and rivers stocked with slamon."
[05:45.42]God continued,'I shall make the land rich in oil so to make the inhabitants prosper7;
[05:55.40]I shall call these inhabitants Ganadians;
[06:01.14]they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."
[06:06.92]"But Lord."asked Gabriel,
[06:11.57]"don't you think you are being too generous to these Ganadians?"

[06:30.95]Paper was invented in China about the year 105,by a man called Cai Lun.

[06:47.95]He pounded the bark in water to separate the fibers8,
[06:53.60]then poured the soup mixture onto a sieve9.
[06:58.74]The water drained away and the soft mat was laid on a smooth surface to dry.
[07:06.40]Bamboo and old rags were also used.
[07:11.75]Later on,somebody thought how to improve the paper by brushing starch10 on it.
[07:19.20]Chinese traders traveled fat to the west
[07:24.76]where they met Arabs who learned their secret and took it ot Spain.
[07:30.72]From there the aret of papermaking spread over Europe.
[07:36.28]In time,all kinds of improved methods and machines for making paper were discovered.
[07:44.72]One of the most important,for example,
[07:49.86]was a machine developed in France in 1798 that could make a continuous sheet of paper.

[08:43.83]He quickly empties the goodies he has all over the lady's new wool carpet,
[08:52.19]including gravel,dirt,and some other crap.
[08:58.36]Then he says."The cleaner that I am about to sell you here
[09:05.52]is so good that if it doesn't clean that crap off your carpet
[09:12.07]I swear that I will eat it!"
