I’m Free! I’m Free!

There’s a very old joke I remember telling when I was a kid:

A man, just released from jail, ran shouting down the street, “I’m free! I’m free!”

He passed a woman and her young son, who took notice of the ruckus. The young fellah, however, was completely unimpressed.

“So what?” he told his mom. “I’m four!”

(sound of rimshot)

Hey, I never promise good jokes around here… BUT – there is something FREE coming up just the same!

See, starting on Monday morning at 6 am CST (that’s -6 GMT, in case you feel like working it out from wherever in the world you are) we’ll kick off our next What I Learned From… groupwrite project! (sound of crowd cheering)

The topic, as announced last Monday, is ADVERSITY.

AND, just like last time, I’ll pick an entry at random to win ONE FREE COPY of Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett’s book, Problogger: Secrets to Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income.

So, you’re welcome to come join the fray – just drop by on Monday for the kickoff!

    That reminds me of my daughter and her friend, Tiffany, who was five months younger than Kaitlin. When Kaitlin had her birthday she was insufferable. She kept rubbing in the fact that she was now three years old. So one morning five months later we heard a knock on the door. When I opened it Tiffany had a big smile on her face and said, “I’m three years old!” My daughter said, “I’m three and a half.” Sometimes you just can’t win. ;)

    @Jean – Yeah, with kids that age you kinda have to just “go with the flow”, y’know?

    Hahaha, you reminds me of the very old time joke here, Robert. I’m also have a story…

    One day, a foreign tourist was bumped into a local resident, the foreign tourist immediately said, “I’m sorry!” The local resident said, “I’m sorry too (too not “Two”)!”

    Then, the tourist replied, “I’m sorry three!” The citizen was surprised and said “What are you sorry for? (Note: It’s “for” but not “Four”!)” The tourist said again, “I’m sorry five” and the citizen was flabbergasted…lol
