Buisness Not as Usual

Harry Burgess and Les Thurlow have coffee every day at local shop. A tourist asks Harry how he lost part of a finger. Harry responds that it wore out pointing directions to passers-by.

One day Harry was ploughing his field with a white horse. It dropped dead. Harry left the horse in the field and went over to see Les and asked him if he wanted to trade his black horse. Les said that would be fine. “Let’s shake on it,” said Harry. And they did.
Then Harry stated matter-of-factly, “My white horse is lying dead in the field.” Les said, “That’s okay, my black horse died Monday.”


Funny stories with a powerful moral.  Friends offend and have disagreements.  Yet when their love is stronger than ego their relationship is forever cemented.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
