THIS IS GOOD!!!
January 31, 2006 on 1:22 pm | In Surfers Voice, Narratives | 1 CommentThis IS GOOD!!!
There once was a king who favoured one of his advisors very much because he was very wise and always gave useful advice. The king took him along wherever he went.
One day, the king was bitten on the finger by a dog, and the wound quickly got infected. He asked the advisor if it was a bad sign. The advisor said, “This is good!”
The king’s finger subsequently got so badly infected that it had to be
amputated. The king asked the advisor again if this was a bad sign. Again, he said “This is good!” By this time, the king had lost his patience and sent the advisor to prison.
One day, the king went hunting in the jungle. In pursuit of a deer, he
ventured deeper and deeper into the jungle, where he got lost. To make matters worse, he was captured by the natives who lived inside the jungle. They were about to sacrifice him to their god, but when they noticed that the king was one finger short, they released him immediately. Apparently, he was no longer a “whole” person and was deemed unsuitable for sacrifice.
The king finally understood his advisor’s wise response “This is good!” If he hadn’t been bitten by the dog, he wouldn’t have lost his finger, and if he hadn’t lost his finger, he would have been sacrificed by the natives.
He ordered the release of the advisor and apologized to him. But to the king’s amazement, the advisor was not upset at all. Instead, he said, “It was a good thing you had me locked up.”
“And why is that?” asked the monarch.
And the advisor replied, “Because if you hadn’t locked me up, I would have followed you into the jungle. And since you were unsuitable for sacrifice, the natives would have offered me up instead!”
Nothing that happens in this world can be judged as absolutely good or bad. Taken in the right spirit, everything that happens can eventually lead to a positive thing. So when something unfortunate happens to you, don’t despair? It might turn out to be a blessing after all.
The Real Story of Billy The Kid
January 27, 2006 on 2:44 pm | In Surfers Voice, Jokes, Narratives | 1 CommentThe Real Story of Billy The Kid
Billy was born in New Mexico under the name of William Bonnie. He rode a big Clydesdale horse named Clyde. He is the only gunfighter known to have ridden a Clydesdale. Clyde wasn’t fast but he was so big he could crash right through the wall of a house, a barn, or a bar if necessary. Billy hated the name Bonnie because it was a girl’s name and the other gunfighters were always teasing him about it. When they saw him riding into town, they would say, “Here comes Bonnie and Clyde.” This really made him mad because he hated the real Bonnie and Clyde for having a car that could outrun his horse. He never forgave his mother for naming him Bonnie. He changed his name to Billy The Kid and swore to shoot anybody who called him Bonnie again. During his short life span, he shot 21 men for calling him Bonnie. The only people who could call him Bonnie without getting shot were his mother and his best friend Pat Garrett. Pat called him Bonnie just to aggravate him. One day Billy made the mistake of calling Pat Garrett “Pattie.” Pat Garrett shot him dead. They sent his body to Ireland to be buried with his ancestors. His mother and Pat Garrett got together and wrote a famous song in memory of Billy. The song is called “My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean.”

Beethoven Backwards
January 21, 2006 on 11:50 am | In Surfers Voice, Jokes, Narratives | 2 CommentsBeethoven Backwards (A joke about the famous composer Beethoven’s death)
A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source.
He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward! Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him.
By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward.
Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.
By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward.
Just then the graveyard’s caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about” says the caretaker. “He’s just decomposing”
