Incase you haven't heard it.... here it is :0)))

**********

So the Zen master steps up to the hot dog cart and says: "Make me one with everything."

The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and hands it to the Zen master, who pays with a $20 bill.

The hot dog vendor puts the bill in the cash drawer and closes the drawer.

"Where's my change?" asks the Zen master.

The hot dog vendor responds: "Change must come from within."

hi Trinity

I really like the stuff your putting on .I was speechless on the one from Hafiz..that really hit me actually and made me see something in myself which I hadn't quite got a focus on.

My apologies for the somewhat glib reply...what can I say..... but at the time of reading it words actually did fail me......doesnt happen very often mind you1

You might have noticed (but there again why should you have ) but I tend to be the joker in the pack around here ( along with another who shall be nameless) ,but I can assure you I m really serious about what I say here ....just love this one.

John

John,

I thought your response was far from 'glib' :0))) It was perfect and brought a huge smile to me... I sensed a speechlessness in you, beyond words. I experience this much of the time.

I love your humour. The spiritual side of life can get a bit serious sometimes.

With Love
Trinity

On the topic of Zen humour...

A Zen Monk is tumbling down a mountainside and just as he is going over the edge of a thousand-foot drop he grabs on to a small plant.

The plant holds, his fall is stopped, but now he is hanging over a massive drop with only the soft green leaves of the plant and his strength between him and certain death.

"Help!" he screams, looking forlornly up at the edge above. "Is there anyone up there that can help me!"

There's a moment's silence, then a booming voice resonates from above...

"Just... let... go..."

The panic-stricken monk stares up, and the voice comes again...

"JUST... LET... GO..."

The monk looks down at the drop below and the swirling icy river below his feet. He sheepishly looks back up and yells, "Is there anyone ELSE up there who can help me?!"

Sounds a bit like me Scott when things get tough......ironic how materialists and

aitheists suddenly call on God..........same sort of thing..ish

Ahhh yes, now I see where it comes from John :0)))) Ahhhhhw... you didn't tell me that you were so sweet too!

I LOVE the joke Scott. Have heard it elsewhere before, but they didn't tell it quite as well as your version did.
