Define Smile;;;;;;;and now Smile

A little girl walked to and from school daily.

Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school.

As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.

The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child.

Following the roar of thunder, lightning, like a flaming word, would cut through the sky.

Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school.

As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up and smile.

Another and another were to follow quickly and with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.

When the mother's car drove up beside the child, she lowered the window and called to her.

What are you doing?.....

…..Why do you keep stopping?

The child answered, "I am trying to look pretty, God keeps taking my picture"

"Face the storms that come your way and don't forget to SMILE! "

Now Smile......

Pass it along to brighten someone else's day because I know you SMILED!!!

FOUR FRIENDS AT A PARTY !!!!!!!!

Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years,
reunited at a party.

After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest
room. Those who remained talked about their kids.

The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started
working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel.

He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon
began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the
president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his
best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday."

The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also
my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, and
then went to flight school
to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the
company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so
rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his
birthday."

The third man said: "Well, that's terrific! My son studied
in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he
started his own construction
company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away
something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his
birthday: A 30,000 square
foot mansion."

The three friends congratulated each other just as the
fourth returned from the restroom and asked: "What are all
the congratulations for?" One of the three said: "We were
talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our
sons. ....What about your son?"

The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living
dancing as a stripper at a nightclub."

The three friends said: "What a shame...what a
disappointment."

The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son
and I love him. And he hasn't done too bad either. His
birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful
30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the
line Mercedes from his three boyfriends. !!!!!!!!

Intel-joke- A good one!!!!

There was a gentleman walking with two heavy suitcases in an airport

terminal. Someone approached and asked him what time it was. The

gentleman bends down to park the two heavy suitcases and stares at his

watch. But this was no ordinary watch! He touches a tiny button and his

administrative assistant's face appears.

He asks her, "Mary, what time is it?" Mary answers instantly and with a

smile!

The questioner is thoroughly impressed!!!

He asks, "What kind of a watch is that?"

"It's like a TV with two-way real-time communication," the gentleman

explains. He adds that the watch is the latest technology with Intel's

brand new 128-bit chip with processor speed of 10 Gigahertz.

The onlooker is now quite impressed and wanted to know if he could buy

this watch from the gentleman. They agree on a heavy price and the cash

was handed immediately. The gentleman takes his watch out and hands it

over and then walks away.

The new owner stares at the two heavy suitcases and shouts, "Sir, you

forgot your suitcases."

The gentleman stops, smiles, and replies, "No, they are yours now. They

are the modems you always need to carry for your new watch.

Government increases income tax exemption limit 29 Feb 2008, 1302 hrs IST,INDIATIMES NEWS NETWORK http://budgetwithet.economictimes.indiatimes.com/ubarticleshow/2826104.cms

Finance Minister P Chidambaram spread cheer all around with Budget 2008-09, the last full-fledged Budget of the UPA government. A hike in the income-tax exemption limit was one of the key highlights of the Budget. The finance ministry raised the income-tax exemption limit from Rs 1,10,000 to Rs 1,50,000. Exemption limit for women was raised from Rs 1,45,000 to Rs 1,80,000 and exemption for senior citizens was raised from Rs 1,95,000 to Rs 2,25,000. Direct tax collections have been buoyant this fiscal year, registering a growth of over 40% to Rs 2,18,538 crore in the first 10 months. The slabs were introduced three years ago, but the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council has suggested a change in the structure. For income upto Rs 1,50,000 tax liability will be nil, between Rs 1,50,000 and Rs 3,00,000 tax liability will be 10%, from 3 lakh to 5 lakh tax liability will be 20%, from 5 lakh upwards it will be 30%.
