This is something to think about when negative
people are doing their best to rain on your parade.
So remember this story the next time someone
who knows nothing and cares less tries to make
your life miserable.

_________________________________________
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her
hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband..
She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who
responded: "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to
Rome. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental Airlines," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"

"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser.."That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further... I know that place. Everybody thinks its going to be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

The woman continued "We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome .

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The foo d and wine was wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."

"Oh, really! What did he say?"


He said: "Who the fuck did your hair? :sign10:

Take care,
Pat

Having been to Rome and fortunate enough to be there, when he gave an audience, I enjoyed the story.
I must have stayed at that hotel before it was renovated. The window of that room looked out onto the flat roof of a lower addition.
The roof was covered with seven century's worth of pigeon shit!

Good one!
I stayed at the youth hostel in Rome. The pasta was the best I've ever had. No haircut for two months in Europe. Didn't go to to the Vatican.

Speaking of annoying pessimists, 11 years ago I went to a local Goodyear tire shop with daughter's 4 year old hardly used Goodyear tire and was told tires don't last more than 4 years these days. Soon after I bought a set of Michelin tires for our van. I replaced two of them last year and two this year at age 11 years just because they seemed too old to me. I almost took the van to the Goodyear dealer just to grin at him but didn't because he had just charged me $36 to repair a tire with a tiny roofing staple in it. Got the tires at Costco instead, and saved a lot of money on really good tires.
