>WHY MEN LIE !
>
>One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a
>river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord
appeared
>and asked, "Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his axe
has
>fallen into the water, and he needed the axe to make his living.
>
>The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe.
"Is
>this your axe?" the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, "No." The
Lord
>again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?"
the
>Lord asked. Again, the woodcutter replied, "No." The Lord went down
>again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord
asked.
>The woodcutter replied, "Yes."
>
>The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three
axes
>to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.
>
>Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the
>riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the
>Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
>
> "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!" The Lord went down
into
>the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" the
Lord
>asked. "Yes," cried the woodcutter. The Lord was furious. "You lied!
>That is an untruth!" The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my
Lord.
>It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer
Lopez,
>You would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I said 'no'
to
>her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you
>would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able
to
>take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Jennifer
>Lopez."
>
> The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good
and
>honorable reason, and for the benefit of others. That's our story,
and
>we're sticking to it! - "WE HONORABLE MEN !!!!!!" :-)...
