PERSPECTIVE.  PERCEPTION.  PERFECT?

UNDERSTANDING   the world around us and the many things we are exposed to daily can be a challenge.  Perspective can lead to different versions of the world or a situation.  Your ability to be flexible and to examine (or re-examine again and again) situations, events, people, and your 'take on things', may allow for a richer and fuller appreciation for your life and your place in the world.

HERE are two examples where punctuation and emphasis change the meaning of the words!

In the first example, there are two versions illustrating the change!

In the second example, YOU CAN make the changes and SEE how many versions YOU CAN DISCOVER and OBSERVE how YOUR perspective changes your conclusions and observations!

An English professor wrote the words:

"A woman without her man is nothing"

on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.

All of the males in the class wrote:

"A woman, without her man, is nothing."

All the females in the class wrote:

"A woman: without her, man is nothing."

Women Drivers

This morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a Woman in a brand new Cadillac Doing 65 mph with her Face up next to her Rear view mirror Putting on her eyeliner.

I looked away For a couple seconds... to continue shaving  And when I looked back she was Halfway over in my lane, Still working on that makeup.

As a man, I don't scare easily.  But she scared me so much; I dropped My electric shaver Which knocked The donut Out of my other hand.

In all The confusion of trying To straighten out the car Using my knees against The steering wheel, It knocked My Cell Phone Away from my ear Which fell Into the coffee Between my legs!  Splashed, And burned Big Jim and the Twins, Ruined the damn phone, Soaked my trousers, And disconnected an Important call.

Damn women drivers!
