Make sure you kneel beside your bed evey night and say your prayers before going to sleep and when you die you may end up in Cape Breton.
This Texan arrived at the Pearly Gates and was met by St. Peter, right away the Texan said, "This is the Pearly Gates? , We've got bigger and better than this in Texas!" As St. Peter continues the tour, he got pretty tired of the Texan, always saying we got bigger and better in Texas, so St.Peter took him over to the edge of a cloud and said, "Look down there!", they were looking into Hades/Hell, "have you got anything in Texas like that?" The Texan said, "No, we haven't, but, we have a few good old boys that could put that out for you ! "
On a visit to Canada, President Clinton was scheduled to play golf against Prime Minister Chretien at the Highland Links course located in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Clinton doesn't like to lose so he asked his people to contact the designer of the course, he wanted to speak to him to increase his luck. They come back to say the man who built the course was dead.
Well, this was just around the time cell phones were getting popular so one company had given the President free use of a phone, only his was special, he could call Heaven anytime he wanted to, but the catch was, if he called Heaven it would cost him $100,000 dollars for the call. He had only used it once before, to see if he would be elected for a second term and he gleefully paid the bill.
While driving around the course with his secret service men just prior to the golf game he decided to call the designer in heaven and talk to him. He won the game,beat Chretien.
Months later he hadn't received a bill for th $100,000 , and being a pretty honest guy he contacted the cell phone company and made enquiries. The girl said, "We have no record of a long distance call Sir, where did you say you called from? " I called from Cape Breton up in Canada, in Nova Scotia." " I can't find nothing, just a minute I'll speak to my supervisor , Sir!"
The girl came back and explained to Mr. Clinton, that a call from Cape Breton to Heaven was considered a local call,and there would be no bill!
About Me
- paul d. w. crawford
- Western Shore, Nova Scotia, Canada
- I grew up in Fairview, a village on the edge on Halifax,Nova Scotia, now part of the Hfx Regional Municipality. Fairview was horse and wagon when I was a kid, right up to the mid-fifties.I always lived in the same house. I lived on Geizer's Hill, Lightning Hill, Duke of Kent Street or Main Avenue as it is now called, right opposite Fairview School ,later called Titus Smith school. Where Clayton Park is today was still a "western forest". My boyhood was mainly on Bedford Basin, or anywhere from Ashburn golf course to Mount St. Vincent Univ. A wonderful book exists called " The Little Dutch Village", covering the first two hundred years of life along the Dutch Village road, from the North West Arms waters to the Basin. My nostalgia only goes back to around 1944, my first memories were of Bedford Naval Magazine blowing up.Please join me on my blog and share your memories of "Fairview Forgotten" I first started collecting hunting and fishing stories when I went to Buchan's, Newfoundland in 1962. Hence my humourous collection. I started the blog "a motley existance" to share all other good jokes and other aspects of my life, a very colourful life ,in my opinion.
