A man walks into a bar in London and ordered 3-glasses of
beer
and sits in the backyard of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in
turn.
When he finishes, he comes back to the bar counter and orders 3 more.
The bartender asks him, "You know, beer goes flat after I fill it in the
glass; it would taste better if you buy one at a time."
The man replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in
Dubai, the other in Canada and I'm here in London.
When they left home, we promised that we'll drink this way to remember
the days when we drank together.
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom and leaves it there.
The man became a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way.
He order 3-Beers and drinks them in turn.
One day, he came in and ordered only 2-Beers All the other regulars
notice and fall silent.
When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says,"
I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my sincere
condolences on your great loss. "
The man looked confused for a moment, then he laughs .... "Oh,
no,"
he, said, "Everyone's fine - both my brothers are alive" .
" The only thing is
I just quit drinking!!!

David Thorne didn't have the $233.95 to pay an overdue account. So what did he do? What any other budding young genius would do, he submitted a picture of a spider he drew instead. Unfortunately, Jane Gilles, who is clearly a mega-bitch to the nth degree, wouldn't accept it. So what happened next? Hit the jump to find out. But I'll give you a hint: time travel! And also, David's account not getting paid.
You really want to read the rest, so hit it.

WHEN 24 HOURS ARE NOT ENOUGH
When the things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the two cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and held some items in front of him. When the class began he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. The students agreed it was full.
The professor than picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous yes.
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
Wow, said the professor as the laughter subsided. I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things- GOD, your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions- and if everything else was
lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else- the small stuff. If you put sand into the jar first, he continued, there is no room for the pebbles and the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Lead a life as an obedient creature of your creator. Play with your children. Take time to get the medical check-ups. Take your spouse out. Play another 18 hole game at the golf course. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first?the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised his hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled, I am glad you asked. It just goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.
