Poem - Man's Life Accomplishments

That Man is a Success

Who has lived well,
Laughed often and loved much;

Who has gained the respect of intelligent men
And the love of children;

Who has filled his niche
And accomplished his tasks;

Who leaves the world better than he found it
Whether by an improved poppy,
A perfect poem or a rescued soul;

Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty
Or failed to express it;

Who looked for the best in others
And gave the best he had.

Text Message Scam

A woman who had been shopping at the grocery store in the mall noticed that her handbag was missing from her shopping cart.  She had only turned her back to it for a few moments however, now it was gone!  Flustered she looked about and rushed to alert the store Manager who phoned to report it to the police.  Her handbag had contained her money, cell phone, credit card, bank card and wallet etc.

20 minutes later when she called her hubby from a pay phone telling him what happened, hubby says, "Oh no!  I received your text asking about our Pin Number and I've just replied a little while ago!"

The damage had been done!  When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all their money was already withdrawn.  The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the Pin Number.  Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.
