When we share laughter, there's twice the fun;
When we share success, we've surpassed what we've done.
When we share problems, there's half the pain.
When we share tears, a rainbow follows rain.
If we share a smile, that's when our love shows.
If we share a hug, that's when our love grows.
If we share with someone, on whom we depend,
that person is always family or friend.
And what draws us closer, and makes us all care,
Is not what we have, but the things we share

THE IRANIAN: From immigration to discrimination, Jim S

From immigration to discrimination An American story
By Jim S June 24, 2004 iranian.com https://iranian.com/Diaspora/2004/June/Dis/

Have just finished reading Ahmagh Khan's, "Worse than Blacks". I felt that the author seemed to believe that there was something unique about the discrimiantion that some Iranians have found in America. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Iranian experience in America is the immigrant experience in America. It is a story that has repeated itself over the past three hundred years in the country. Each wave of new immigrants has faced exactly the same kind of discrimination and hardship which Iranians have faced in their adopted home. Immigration and discrimination are as American as apple pie. This does not mean that I agree with it or condone it in any way, but it is a historical reality that is beyond dispute.
Whether one wishes to discuss the German-American experience in the New World in the 18th century, the Irish-American or Chinese-American experiences of the 19th century, the Italian-American and Polish-American experiences of the early 20th century, or the Iranian-American experience of the late 20th century it is the same story of discrimination and social rejection played over and over and over again.

I farted in the Apple store and everyone got pissed. It’s not my fault they don’t have Windows.

A man is intensively washing his jeans, mumbling:
- You cannot trust anyone these days! Not a single person! Even yourself... I was only trying to fart.

Think of it. An entire nation founded on saying one thing and doing another.

Again, an old one but why not??
A FABLE FOR SECRETARIES

When the body was first made, all parts wanted to be boss.
The brain said, “Since I control everything and do all the thinking, I should be Boss”.

The feet said “Since I carry man where he wants to go and get him in position to do what the brain wants, I should be Boss”.

The hands said “Since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep the rest of you going, I should be Boss”.

And it went on with the heart, the ears, the lungs, etc. and finally the arsehole spoke up and demanded to be the Boss. All the other parts laughed and laughed at the idea of an arsehole being Boss.

The arsehole was so angered that he blocked himself off and refused to function. Soon the brain was feverish, the eyes crossed and aching. The feet were to weak walk; the hands hung limply at the sides; the heart and lungs struggled to keep going.

All pleaded with the brain to relent and let the arsehole be Boss. And so it happened. All the other parts did all the work, and the arsehole just bossed and passed out a lot of shit.

THE MORAL: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A BRAIN TO BE A BOSS, JUST AN ARSEHOLE!
