There was a Pastor whose wife was expecting a baby so he went to the congregation and asked for a raise.
After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the Pastor's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the Pastor's salary.
There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church. Finally, the Pastor stood up and spoke to the crowd, "Children are a gift from God," he said.
Silence fell on the congregation.
In the back of the room, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."
And the congregation said, "Amen."

Traders warned of online thieves
By Byron Acohido, USA TODAY
SEATTLE — In a first-of-its-kind warning to online stock traders, the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday alerted consumers who buy and sell stocks on the Internet to be wary of cyberthieves.
The warning resulted from a flurry of complaints from online stock traders the SEC has received in recent months. The agency declined to be more specific. "I really can't talk about the number of cases that may or may not be under investigation, but I can tell you we are seeing a rising number of such cases," said Susan Wyderko, the SEC's investor education director. "Six months ago, these cases were not yet on our radar screen."
The SEC has posted precautions at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/onlinebrokerage.htm. That underscores findings uncovered by USA TODAY's special reports on cybercrime, which have detailed the ways online thieves can sidestep conventional computer security tools such as firewalls and anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.
The SEC warns that consumers must also be vigilant about how they open e-mail and browse popular websites, which can be infected with keystroke-stealing programs. And they should guard their Social Security numbers and closely monitor banking accounts for discrepancies.
"This is exactly what we've been telling our customers for years," says Greg Framke, executive vice president at E-Trade, the nation's second-largest online broker.
About 15 million individuals maintain online stock portfolios at Charles Schwab, E-Trade and Ameritrade, according to the companies' SEC filings. The largest private online broker, Scottrade, doesn't disclose how many customers it has.
Last April, E-Trade became the first large U.S. financial institution to offer customers use of a key fob that issues a one-time pass code. The code must be used, along with a user name and password, to gain account access. About 10% of E-Trade's customers use a fob.
Last month, federal banking regulators mandated that financial institutions must toughen security for accessing online accounts by the end of next year. But regulators have not specified how companies should do that.
Using just a user name and password to access online accounts makes it convenient for consumers but a boon to cybercrooks. The SEC said it has become aware of "numerous situations in which unauthorized individuals have gained access to other people's online brokerage accounts."

CCB's IPO Expected to Be Biggest This Year
China Construction Bank IPO Is Expected to Be World's Biggest This Year
China Construction Bank said Thursday it has set a price range of 1.90 Hong Kong dollars to 2.40 Hong Kong dollars (24 cents to 31 cents) per share for its initial public offering in Hong Kong -- expected to be the world's biggest IPO this year.
The bank, the first of China's big state-owned banks to list shares overseas, plans to sell 26.48 billion shares to raise 50.3 billion Hong Kong dollars to 63.6 billion Hong Kong dollars ($6.5 billion to $8.2 billion).
The bank has also authorized its underwriters to sell an additional 3 billion shares, which when exercised will bring the total amount raised to 57.9 billion Hong Kong dollars to 73.1 billion Hong Kong dollars ($7.46 billion to $9.42 billion).
The public offer will open Friday Oct. 14 and close Oct. 19. Trading of the shares will begin Oct. 27.
The IPO is expected to be the largest-ever overseas listing by a Chinese company, surpassing the $5.7 billion China Unicom Ltd. IPO in 2000.
"I believe the listing is just a beginning. Internally there is still lots of work to be done regarding reforms of our business model," bank chairman Guo Shuqing told reporters.
"For us, the most important change will be the transition from a government structure to a completely commercialized operation ... the operating mechanism will become more transparent after the IPO. That will be beneficial to our clients," he said.
The bank, called CCB, has a network of more than 14,000 branches in China. As of June, the bank had 4,224.1 billion Chinese yuan ($522 billion) in total assets, 2,374.4 billion yuan ($293 billion) in total loans, and 3,781.3 billion yuan ($467 billion) in total deposits.
The bank has forecast a profit of 42 billion yuan ($5.2 billion) this year.
Foreign banks are vying for position in Chinese state-owned banks ahead of late 2006, when China fully opens its markets to overseas competition. CCB is in a strategic partnership with the Bank of America Corp., which has agreed to buy 9 percent of CCB's stakes for $2.5 billion.
The Bank of America will also spend an additional $500 million to purchase CCB's shares at the IPO price.

History
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water
temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to
be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:
These are interesting...
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in
May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting
to
smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.
Hence
the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
***************
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the
house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons
and men,
then the women and finally the children Last of all the babies. By then
the
water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the
saying,
"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."
***************
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood
underneath.
It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other
small
animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became
slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence
the saying "It's
raining cats and dogs."
***************
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed
a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess
up your
nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the
top
afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
***************
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would
get
slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor
to help
keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until
when
you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood
was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a "thresh hold."
***************
(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that
always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things
to the
pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would
eat
the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight
and then
start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been
there
for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge
cold,
peas porridge in the pot nine days old."
***************
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It
was
a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut
off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the
fat."
***************
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content
caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning
death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400
years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
***************
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of
the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper
crust."
***************
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would
sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking
along
the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were
laid
out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would
gather
around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence
the
custom of holding a "wake."
***************
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of
places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take
the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening
these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks
on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through
the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone
would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift")
to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or
was considered a "dead ringer."
***************
And that's the truth... Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! !
