Someone once asked...

“Please tell me a story to cheer me up”

Someone answered with kindness...

There once was a person who swore, They’d buy just one thing at the store. "Just milk," so they claimed, But the sales were well-aimed, So they walked out with eighty things more.... They got home and unpacked every sack, But realized they had to go back... Because amidst all of the junk, And the money they had shrunk, The milk was still left on the rack. (It's me.... I did that....my MILKKKKKKKK)

Temel and Dursun were doing their military service together and one day they took part in the same military exercise. The exercise involved jumping out of a plane with a parachute. Just like the other soldiers, it was our lads’ turn and they threw themselves into the void. But what a stroke of bad luck! Temel’s parachute opened, but Dursun’s didn’t. Dursun said to Temel: ‘Hey Temel, my parachute won’t open either!...’ Temel replied straight away: ‘Hey lad, open the reserve parachute, the reserve parachute…’ No matter how hard Dursun tried, he just couldn’t manage to open the reserve parachute either, so he said to Temel: ‘Hey Temel, this one won’t open either!’ To which Temel replied: ‘Never mind, lad, we’re only on a training exercise anyway!’
