The following I got from Seth Godin’s “The Big MOO!” – I Highly recommend everyone to read this book.
Joke #1
One day a patient came into a doctor’s office and complained about his arm. He said to the doctor, “It hurts when I do this.”
The doctor responded, “Don’t do that.”
da dum tishh!
Joke #2
A guy was walking to work one day and right outside his office he sees an penguin. He’s startled, doesn’t know what to do. So he takes the penguin into his boss’s office and asks his boss, “What should I do with this penguin?”
The book looks at him and says, “Take him to the zoo, you idiot!”
A few days later, out on the street, the boss runs into the guy and he still has the penguin. The boss is shocked. He looks at the guy and says, “I thouht I told you to take the penguin to the zoo!”
An the guy looks at his boss and says, “I did. But we had such a great time, today I’m taking him to a ball game.”
da dum tishh!
Joke #3
A woman from Ohio is walkin in midtown Manhattan. She’s a bit lost. She sees a man carrying a violin case, walks up to him, and asks him, “Excuse me, sir, how do you get to Carnegie Hall?”
The violinist looks at her and says, “Practice, practice, practice.”
da dum tishh!
What’s the secret?
- Stop doing things that hurt
- Do what you love
- Ignore what authority figures tell you
- Most of all…practice, practice, practice

3 x 10 :: Day 03
- Produce a low to mid-budget ($50,000 – $500,00) motion graphics based movie covering the story of the Israel-Palistine conflict starting from 1900 – Present time. Story would cover the Fall of the Ottoman Empire, the establishment of Middle Eastern states, Involvement of British and French in turning Muslims against each other, Establishment of Israel to the Palestine-Israel conflict.
- Produce a short video for online distribution based off of the letter of Umar ibn Abdil Azeez that was passed out in the Torch Bearer’s seminar.
- Develop a Qabeelah training module within Message Mastery. Think AlMaghrib’s teacher training system by sensei on steriods.

Those jokes were funny, while I was reading them, I kept trying to think and make out to see if the secret lied in the few typos of each joke…if it was like a code or message…
Yeah, I like that one idea with the motion graphics video…
Mainly because I’m currently learning motion graphics..
By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you some serious advice…inshaAllah I’ll email sometime (it’s not that urgent, you know, I think it’s the third quadrant if you know what I’m referring to, clock and compass stuff (http://www.shared-visions.com/explore/literature/firstthings.htm))
Okay, salaam
