The Graceline

A visitor to an insane asylum found a man in the gathering space rocking back and forth in a rocking chair muttering repeatedly, "Vanessa, Vanessa...." in a soft,contented manner.

"What's his problem," he asked the doctor.

"Vanessa. She is the woman who jilted him and broke his heart," the doctor replied.

As they toured the facility, they came to a padded cell whose occupant was banging his head over and over against the wall and moaning, "Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa..."

"Is Vanessa this man's problem, too?" asked the visitor.

"Yes, she is. He is the one Vanessa finally married." said the doctor.

There are only two afflictions in life: not getting what you want and getting what you want.

Have you ever thought that the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence because it has a lot more manure on it? You think about that!
