A Christian seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river. Her leather thimble fell into the river. When she cried, the Lord appeared, "My dear child, why are you crying?" The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband support their family. The Lord dipped into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires."Is this your thimble?" The seamstress honestly replied, "No." The Lord again dipped into the river and pulled out a golden thimble with rubies. "Is this your thimble?" The honest seamstress again replied, "No."
The Lord then pulled out her leather thimble."Is this your thimble ?" The seamstress replied, "Yes." The Lord was so pleased that he gave her all three thimbles. The seamstress went home happy.
Some years later, the same Christian seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank when he fell into the river and vanished. When she cried,the Lord appeared and asked,"Why are you crying?" "My husband has fallen into the river!" The Lord reached into the water and pulled out George Clooney. "Is this your husband?"
"Yes," cried the seam stress. The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is not true!" The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. But if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.
Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.
So the Lord let her keep Clooney. The moral of this story:Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reasons, and in the best interest of others.
That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

Shell, good job. Let's see how badly your story trumps mine today. Again, thanks for the story.
Shell, I love you! You need a 1/2 hour weekly comedy show!

Oh yeah, Shell. You think you know water tricks? Greg Long (24) won the sixth running of the Mavericks Surf Contest. (Dude caught the final heat's largest wave in a wave pond where all the waves sucked.) But all six finalists shared equally the $75,000 prize money.
During an early lull someone said let's share the $75,000 in prize money instead of dishing a big chunk ($30,000) to the winner.
"It was a little slow out there," Long said. "We were just laughing and talking about how amazing our lives are. I think we all agreed: It's not about the money; it's about the love of it."
So for Dollar Bill who thinks it is all about the money, you, dude, are fried!
Surfer Dude
Surfer Dude, did anyone pass up the money? No. So, don't tell me it's not all about the money. Heck, you people are no different then the rest of the capitalistic society. Shell's story is the same. She was paid by the Lord for her honesty. (Sure the gold symbol is worth a lot, but just think what she will get when Clooney divorces her!) Its all the same because in the end, it is all about the money.
Amen Shell!
Dollar Bill, sometimes it's not all about $$$$. Just look at that picture of George Clooney!
Shell and the rest of us gals would understand. . .
I don't prefer this gender and even I understand the Clooney point!

Finally some eye candy for us female readers. :) You know, George is one of the few that look even better in person.

Shell, you go girl!

This place rocks!

This would have won best story last year!

Uh, let's see, is that photo really George Clooney or is it the good looking guy who writes this blog?
Clooney and Legal Pub are two separate persons, but close call on who is more handsome!

Women? Girls lie too!
Sallie
I think I would have been honest with God. Simple reason, "Time to Upgrade!"
Laura
Women do only lie for important and honorable reasons. Upgrading a husband definitely fits in that category if you get Clooney in the deal.
Shell
Shell is the bomb!
