There
is really something negative about NEGATIVE PEOPLE!
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," 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:City?"
"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 gonna be something special and
exclusive, but it's really a dump, the worst hotel in the city! The
rooms are small, the service is surly, and they're overpriced.
So,
whatcha' doing when you get there?"
"We're
going to go to see the Vatican and we hope 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 food and wine were 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
"Oh,
really! What'd he say?"
He
said: "Where'd you get the crappy Hairdo?
