Bill and Hillary are out driving in the country near Hillary’s hometown. They are low on fuel so Bill pulls into a gas station for a fill-up.
The attendant comes out and begins to pump gas into the First couple’s gas
tank. As he is doing this, he looks into the passenger window.
“Hey, Hillary. We used to date in high school, do you remember me?”, he asks.
They chat for a few minutes, Bill pays and the First couple leaves. As they drive off, Bill is feeling very proud of himself and looks over at Hillary.
“You used to date that guy? Just think what it would be like if you had married him instead of me”, he says smugly.
Hillary looks at Bill and shrugs. Then she replies, “Well I guess you’d be pumping gas and he would be the President.”

An Eagle and a Fox formed an intimate friendship and decided to live near each other.
The Eagle built her nest in the branches of a tall tree, while the Fox crept into the underwood and there produced her young.
Not long after they had agreed upon this plan, the Eagle, being in want of provision for her young ones, swooped down while the Fox was out, seized upon one of the little cubs, and feasted herself and her brood.
The Fox on her return, discovered what had happened, but was less grieved for the death of her young than for her inability to avenge them. A just retribution, however, quickly fell upon the Eagle.
While hovering near an altar, on which some villagers were sacrificing a goat, she suddenly seized a piece of the flesh, and carried it, along with a burning cinder, to her nest.
A strong breeze soon fanned the spark into a flame, and the eaglets, as yet unfledged and helpless, were roasted in their nest and dropped down dead at the bottom of the tree.
There, in the sight of the Eagle, the Fox gobbled them up.
Moral:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

An Eagle, overwhelmed with sorrow, sat upon the branches of a tree in company with a Kite.
“Why,” said the Kite, “do I see you with such a rueful look?”
“I seek,” she replied, “a mate suitable for me, and am not able to find one.”
“Take me,” returned the Kite, “I am much stronger than you are.”
“Why, are you able to secure the means of living by your plunder?” Eagle asked.
“Well, I have often caught and carried away an ostrich in my talons.” The Eagle, persuaded by these words, accepted him as her mate.
Shortly after the nuptials, the Eagle said, “Fly off and bring me back the ostrich you promised me.”
The Kite, soaring aloft into the air, brought back the shabbiest possible mouse, stinking from the length of time it had lain about the fields.
“Is this,” said the Eagle, “the faithful fulfillment of your promise to me?”
The Kite replied, “That I might attain your royal hand, there is nothing that I would not have promised, however much I knew that I must fail in the performance.”

An Eagle, flying down from his perch on a lofty rock, seized upon a lamb and carried him aloft in his talons.
A Jackdaw, who witnessed the capture of the lamb, was stirred with envy and determined to emulate the strength and flight of the Eagle.
He flew around with a great whir of his wings and settled upon a large ram, with the intention of carrying him off, but his claws became entangled in the ram’s fleece and he was not able to release himself, although he fluttered with his feathers as much as he could.
The shepherd, seeing what had happened, ran up and caught him. He at once clipped the Jackdaw’s wings, and taking him home at night, gave him to his children.
On their saying, “Father, what kind of bird is it?.”
He replied, “To my certain knowledge he is a Daw; but he would like you to think an Eagle.”

Bill Clinton, John Kerry and George W. Bush were set to face a firing squad in a some banana republic.
Bill Clinton was the first one placed against the wall and just before the order was given he yelled out, “Earthquake!”.
The firing squad fell into a panic and Bill jumped over the wall and escaped in the confusion.
John Kerry was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was reassembled and John Kerry pondered what he had just witnessed. Again before the order was given John Kerry yelled out, “Tornado!”.
Again the squad fell apart and John slipped over the wall.
The last person, George W. Bush, was placed against the wall. He was ‘thinking’, “Ah ha! I see the pattern here, just scream out something about a disaster and hop over the wall.”
He confidently refused the blindfold as the firing squad was reassembled. As the rifles were raised in his direction he grinned from ear to ear, and yelled, “Fire!”

Some Dogs, finding the skin of a lion, began to tear it in pieces with their teeth.
A Fox, seeing them, said, “If this lion were alive, you would soon find out that his claws were stronger than your teeth.”
Moral:
It is easy to kick a man that is down.
