Young American couple in the midst of their 19th c. Russian fantasy. There was a coffee hour after Liturgy, and a real Russian sat down at the table. They introduced themselves, then their 18-month-old son, Mitrophan. The Russian looked at them, with all seriousness, "That's a monk name, not a man name."

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,...
"Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

In a city a police officer pulled over a driver. The police officer did the usual by asking for the driver's driver's license. Then the police officer said, "The way I saw it, I'd say 55." The driver replied, "No, 35. My hat makes me look older."

- Father, why did Christ after His Resurrection firstly appear to women, and not to men?
- My child, Christ knew women by nature are more talkative than men and He wanted the Good News to be spread as fast as possible.
