An old man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light.

The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya got there, sonny?"

The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?"

"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor proudly.

The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"

"No problem," replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car all right... But I'll stick with my Moped!"

Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph.

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly WHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH! Something whips by him going much faster!

"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?" the doctor asks himself.

He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph. Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped. Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes the Moped at 275 mph and He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN!

Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up t o 320 mph. Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again! The Ferrari is flat out, and there's nothing he can do!

Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end.

The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably the old man is still alive. He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "I'm a doctor....Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man whispers, "Unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror".

Rules to Live By

* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

*Love one another and you will receive love in return. It may not happen when you want it to, but it will happen.

*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

The Rummage Sale on Saturday, September 8 was a huge success.  The volume of clothes, books, toys and games, household articles, shoes, religious articles, furniture, pictures, lamps, holiday decorations and items we can’t remember, was overwhelming.  We hope you were able to come down and see us, if not to buy, but to look and see how generous our parishioners were.

 

There were so many individuals involved in making this sale happen.  We had individuals producing the flyers, translating them into Spanish, going store-to-store putting up the flyers, placing the info in all the newspapers, on bulletin boards, on the electronic sign, bulletins of other parishes, cable TV, and just spreading the word.  Then there were the meetings to get the sale to happen.  The ideas flowed from everyone, and those ideas really came to culmination on the final day.  And then we had those individuals who for 3 days worked tirelessly setting up tables, sorting, folding the clothes and pricing everything else and putting them in sections to have the shoppers feel they were in a department store.  The tables looked great.  It was one monumental job but we opened the doors on time and our shoppers were complimenting us on how terrific everything looked.  One lady told us she was so pleased that everything was so clean and was very impressed by our sale.  Oh, and remember those collection days when the items kept coming in and in and in and in!  All those who helped are very talented individuals and didn’t stop working until the job was done, including the clean-up crew.  Where did everything go?  It went to the Somerset County Food Bank, FISH, Planet Aid, and the Methodist church rummage sale.

 

We wish to thank everyone, beginning with Father Dan, the parishioners who donated all those articles, the individuals who worked so hard (we even met some new parishioners), and our committee who pulled it off.

 

So far we have made about $2,500. (all expenses are not yet accounted for) and hopefully some much needed items will be purchased to beautify our church.

 

Thank you everyone, and thank you, Our Lady of Mercy in heaven for shinning down upon us.
