In the days before cars, there was a wagon driver who could afford only one mule. He loved the mule, who answered to the name of Jim. One day the driver was helping his passengers load up. Finally each of them had a seat, and the driver cracked his whip and called out, "Giddy up Jim! Giddy up, Laverne! Giddy up, Ed! Giddy up, Huey! Giddy up, Otis!"
The old wagon lurched forward and one of the passengers leaned forward and asked the driver: "Since Jim is the only mule you've got, why did you call out all those names?"
The driver replied, "If Jim knew he was the only one pulling, he'd never budge an inch."
Teamwork. Discover the magic of a simple question: "Is there something I can do to help?" Surprise a co-worker today by doing something to build him or her up. It's not only Biblical, it’s nice.

Funny for the week: Usual Suspect
While prosecuting a robbery case, I conducted an interview with the arresting officer. My first question: "Did you see the defendant at the scene?"
"Yes, from a block away," the officer answered.
"Was the area well lit?"
"No. It was pretty dark."
"Then how could you identify the defendant?" I asked, concerned.
Looking at me as if I were nuts, he answered, "I'd recognize my cousin anywhere."
