Read This Slowly
Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55
zone.Fourth time in as many months..How could a guy get caught so often?
When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour,Jack pulled over, but only
partially.Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard..Maybe some
other car will tweak his backside with a mirror.The cop was stepping out of
his car,The big pad in hand..
Bob? Bob from Church? Jack sunk farther into his trench coat.This was worse
than the coming ticket.A cop catching a guy from his own church.
A guy who happened to be a little eager To get home after a long day at the
office.. A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow..
Jumping out of the car,He approached a man he saw every Sunday,A man he'd
never seen in uniform.
'Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this.'
'Hello, Jack.' No smile.
'Guess you caught me red-handed,In a rush to see my wife and kids.'
'Yeah, I guess.' Bob seemed uncertain.
Good.
'I've seen some long days at the office lately.I'm afraid I bent the rules a
bit -just this once.'
Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement.'Diane said something about roast
beef and potatoes tonight.Know what I mean?'
'I know what you mean.I also know that you have a reputation in our precinct
.'
Ouch.This was not going in the right direction.Time to change tactics.
'What'd you clock me at?'
'Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?'
'Now wait a minute here, Bob.I checked as soon as I saw you.I was barely
nudging 65.'The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.
'Please, Jack, in the car'
Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door. Slamming it
shut, he stared at the dashboard..He was in no rush to open the window.
The minutes ticked by.Bob scribbled away on the pad..Why hadn't he asked for
a driver's license? Whatever the reason,It would be a month of Sundays
before Jack ever sat near this cop again.
A tap on the door jerked his head to the left.There was Bob, a folded paper
in hand Jack rolled down the window a mere two inches,Just enough room for
Bob to pass him the slip.
'Thanks..'Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.
Bob returned to his police car without a word.Jack watched his retreat in
the mirror.Jack unfolded the sheet of paper.How much was this one going to
cost?
Wait a minute.What was this? Some kind of joke? Certainly not a ticket. Jack
began to read:
'Dear Jack, Once upon a time I had a daughter..She was six when killed by a
car.You guessed it - a speeding driver.A fine and three months in jail, and
the man was free. Free to hug his daughters, all three of them.I only had
one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven before I can ever hug her
again.
A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man.A thousand times I thought I
had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again.Even now.Pray for me.And be
careful, Jack,my son is all I have left.'
'Bob'
Jack turned around in time to see Bob's car pull away and head down the road
.Jack watched until it disappeared.A full 15 minutes later, he too,
pulled away and drove slowly home,praying for forgiveness and hugging a
surprised wife and kids when he arrived...
Life is precious.Handle with care.This is an important message;please pass
it along to your friends.Drive safely and carefully.Remember, cars are not
the only things recalled by their maker.
Funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like
wildfire,but when you start sending messages regarding the sanctity of life,
people think twice about sharing.
Funny how when you go to forward this message,you will not send it to many
on your address list because you're not sure what they believe,
or what they will think of you for sending it to them.
Pass this on,you may save a life.Maybe not,but we'll never know if we don't
try.
May today there be peace within you.May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.'I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift
us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.' | E*****m

发帖数: 25615 | 3 The term glurge was invented by a regular contributor to Snopes.com, a
website dedicated to cataloging and often debunking urban legends.
Unfortunately, while the word glurge may be fictional, the phenomenon it
describes is not. Glurge is best described as the cloyingly sentimental
stories, testimonials and object lessons frequently sent as email or chain
letters. Glurge can also be experienced at the end of religious services or
motivational speeches, usually in the form of a 'true' example of
perseverance against seemingly impossible odds.
There is usually no malicious intent by the sender of glurge, but the
messages may not be as inspirational as the sender had hoped. Many examples
of glurge tend to collapse under their own weight, as the writer adds one
impossible circumstance upon another to drive home the moral of the story.
One such example of overwrought glurge concerns a novice mountain climber
who loses a contact lens. After asking God for a miraculous recovery of the
lens, the mountain climber later discovers an ant carrying the contact lens
on its back. The utter implausibility of the story often negates the
inspirational impact of glurge.
Some examples of glurge are attributed to famous personalities, although
their historical accuracy is often brought into question. The actor John
Wayne, for example, is said to have converted to Christianity after
receiving a letter from an evangelist's injured daughter. Various political
leaders are rumored to have excused themselves from official duties in order
to witness for Jesus Christ. While these stories may indeed be
inspirational and image-building, they are rarely supported by official
records.
This is not to suggest that all glurge is fictional or does not serve a
valid purpose. Some of the stories and historical factoids are indeed true
and educational, although presented in a maudlin or sentimental writing
style. The senders of glurge may be responding to a chain letter-style
request to forward the message to others. Many examples of glurge have been
circulating around the world for years, including alleged predictions by
Nostradamus, as well as the plight of young cancer victims looking for new
pen pals or greeting cards.

A number of websites can provide examples of glurge, along with the true
facts behind the stories. Many examples of glurge are well-written pieces of
inspirational fiction, worthy of repeating as object lessons or
motivational anecdotes. It's the blurring of truth and embellishment that
can make glurge sound artificial and saccharine. | c****t

骂人的目的是为了对对方施加心里伤害和自心的满足。但如果对方都不明白用来骂人的
话，那么上面的目的就不会达到的。
你这么一解释，老E明白了，就受伤害了
