As a young bride, Aunt Edna moved to her husband's ranch house way out in the country. She put a shoebox on the top shelf of her closet and asked her husband never to touch it. For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box alone, until Aunt Edna was old and dying. As he was putting their affairs in order, he asked her about the box, thinking it might hold something important. She said, "Get it and open it." He did. Inside were two doilies and $82,500 in cash. He looked at her for an explanation. "My mother gave me that box on the day we married and told me to make a doily to ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you." Uncle Jack was touched that in their fifty years together she'd only been mad at him twice! "But what about the $82,500?" he asked. "Oh, that? That's the money I've made selling doilies!"

There is no such thing as a dirty word. Nor is there a word so powerful, that it's going to send the listener to the lake of fire upon hearing it. - FZ
