Smile, it's okay even in this age of control and destruction. We all need to have a chance to redeem ourselves with an occasional remembrance of what we use to be! Normal and full of life!!
This is truly an oldie, but goodie. It’s at least 33 years old and shows what a great, united country we had. What a contrast with today. Don’t think about today’s situation. Just read the very short story below.
There was once a great actor, who had a problem. He could no longer remember his lines. Finally, after many years he finds a theater where they are prepared to give him a chance to shine again:
The director says, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. You must walk onto the stage carrying a rose, you must hold the rose with just one finger and your thumb to your nose, sniff the rose deeply and then say the line: ‘Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.'”
The actor is thrilled. All day long before the play he’s practicing his line, over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, and with great passion, he delivered the line: “Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.”
The theater erupted, the audience screamed with laughter and the director was steaming! “You bloody fool!” he cried, “You have ruined me!”
The actor, quite bewildered, asked, “What happened, did I forget my line?” he asked.
“No!” the director screamed, “You forgot the bloody rose!
