THE BEST DIVORCE LETTER EVER!

My dear Wife, I wrote you this letter to let you know that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve always been a good husband to you for more than 9 years and I have nothing to show for it. The last few months have been hell. … I had a call from your boss telling me that you quit your job today and that really was the last straw for me.

Just a week ago, after you came home, you didn’t even notice that I had a complete new haircut, made you your favorite dinner and even bought and wore, new silk boxers. You ate your dinner in 4 minutes, and then went to bed and fell asleep right after watching all your favorite soaps. Also you never tell me that you love me; you never want to have s*x or anything else that connects us as man & wife. So, either you’ve been cheating on me or you really don’t love me anymore; whichever it is, I’m now leaving you. Kind regards, your now Ex-Husband

P.S. don’t think of trying to find me, cause your SISTER and I are moving far far away from here together! So have a great life!

My dear now Ex-Husband Receiving your letter has really made my day. I agree that we have been married for 9 years, but a good man? No, a good man is a far cry from what you have been to me. The reason I watch so many soaps is because they drown out the constant whining & griping from you Too bad only that that didn’t really work. And btw, I DID notice your new hair cut last week, but the first thing that I thought of was ‘Now you look just like a woman!’ And because my mom raised me to not say anything if you haven’t got something nice to say, I didn’t react. And when you made me my favorite dinner, you probably got me confused with MY SISTER, because I haven't been eating pork since 9 years ago. And about the new silk boxers: I turned away from you because you forgot to remove the 49.99 price tag, and I was just praying that it was just a coincidence that my sister had borrowed 50 from me just the day before. Even after all of that, I still loved you and thought we should be able to work it out. So when I won10 million in the lotto this week, I told my boss that I quit my job and bought 2 tickets for us to the Bahama's But then I got home and you weren't there.. I guess everything always happens for a reason. So I really hope you will have the fulfilling life you seemed to be missing. Also my lawyer told me that the letter you wrote makes sure I don't have to give you a dime from the 10 million. So take care and have a great life!

Signed, Your now Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell and totally Free!

P.S. I never told you this I think, but my sister Carla you moved with was actually born Carl. I hope that’s not a problem for you...

Thomas Edison made Henry Ford believe in himself and got a friend for life!

In 1896, Thomas Edison, the great inventor who invented the electric bulb, was working on an idea to design the car when he heard that a young man who worked in his company had created the experimental car.

Edison met the young man at his company’s party in New York and interviewed him about the car. He was impressed!

He had the same idea as the young man but he was considering electricity as the power source while the young man used a gasoline engine to power the car.

He slammed his fist down and shouted “young man, that’s the thing! You have it! I think you are on to something! I encourage you to continue your pursuits!”

With these words of encouragement from the most highly respected inventor in the United States at that time, HENRY Ford continued his work, invented the car and became wealthy.

On December 9, 1914, Thomas Edison’s laboratory and factory got burnt. He was 67years old and the damage was too extensive for insurance cover.

Before the ashes were cold, Henry Ford handed Edison a cheque of $750,000 with a note saying that Edison could have more if he needed it!

In 1916, Henry Ford relocated his home to the building next to Edison’s home and when Edison couldn’t walk and be confined to a wheelchair by his doctors, Henry Ford also bought himself a wheelchair so that he could run wheelchair races with his friend and mentor!

Don’t ever be jealous of other people’s success. If you can’t win a race, help the person in front of you break the record!

Putting out the candlelight of your neighbor in the dark will never increase the brightness of yours.

Your candle will not lose its light when it lights up another candle. Getting the job done is more important than who gets the glory!

Be inspired, speak positively into someone’s life today, and possibly save a soul.

How kids perceive their grandparents:
1. I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup, under the watchful eyes of my young granddaughter, as I'd done many times before. After I applied my lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!" I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye....
2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 68. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"
3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"
4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?'' "You're both old," he replied.
6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story.
"What's it about?" he asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."
7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I really think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!"
8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."
9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised "Mine says I'm 4 to 6." (WOW! I really like this one -- it says I'm only '38'!)
10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said. "How do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."
11. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."
12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.
"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.
"No," said another. "He's just for good luck."
A third child brought the argument to a close. “They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."
13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and whenever we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."
14. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!
15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.
