Something for Mrs. Grumpy...
This is hard for me to offer up... but my boss sent it to me and I'm feelng generous. (Even though I love my Bears.)

GOD'S HOT LINE

John Madden was in Chicago to announce a football game one weekend when he noticed a special telephone near the Bears' bench. He asked a nearby player what it was used for and was told it was a hotline to God. John asked if he could use it. The player told him, "Sure, but it will cost you $100.00." John scratched his head, then thought, what the heck. I could use some help picking games. He pulled out his wallet and paid the $100.00. John's picks were perfect that week.

The next week, John was in Minnesota when he noticed that same kind of phone on the Vikings' bench. He asked what the telephone was for and was told "It's a hotline to God, if you want to use it, it will cost you $500.00." Recalling last weekend, John pulled out his wallet and made the call. John's picks were perfect again that week!

The next weekend John was in Green Bay at Lambeau Field when he noticed the same kind of phone by the Packers' bench. He asked Brett Favre, "Is that the hotline to God?" Brett said, "yes but it will cost you 35 cents". John looked incredulously at Brett and said, '"wait a second, I just paid $100.00 in Chicago and $500.00 in Minnesota to use the same phone to God! Why does Green Bay only charge 35 cents?" Brett looked at John and replied, "In Green Bay, it's a local call."

Thanks for that Catshrink. That made my night..It's on it's way right now to several of my family members. Funny thing is, just this moment I happened to be thinking of how many months until preseason starts. Good luck to your Bears, as the commercial said, we're all undefeated. :hi:

Hugs,Laura
