Jennifer, a manager at a local Tru Value store, had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.*

The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, ‘What is the fastest thing you know of?’

The first man replied, ‘A THOUGHT.’ It just pops into your head. There’s no warning.

‘That’s very good!’ replied Jennifer. ‘And, now you sir?’, she asked the second man.

‘Hmmm…let me see ‘A blink! It comes and goes and you don’t know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.’

‘Excellent!’ said Jennifer. ‘The blink of an eye, that’s a very popular cliché for speed.’

She then turned to the third man, who was contemplating his reply.

‘Well, out at my dad’s property, you step out of the house and on the wall there’s a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. ‘Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of’.

Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man. ‘It ‘s hard to beat the speed of light,’ she said.

Turning to Wally, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question.

Old Wally replied, ‘After hearing the previous three answers, it’s obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHOEA.’

‘WHAT !?’ said Jennifer, stunned by the response.

‘Oh sure’, said Wally. ‘You see, the other day I wasn’t feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already shit myself..’

Wally is now working at a Tru Value near you!

Dear Good News Friend’s and Members,

WE  ALL love Pete Seeger.  He was a hero for us.  We had the chance to interview him, create shows with him, spend time at the Beacon Sloop Club, be on the Board of the Clearwater New York City division, use Pete’s songs in and his SING A LONG approach as the heart of our www.peacedayparty.org event and so much more.  We   have shared a clip from  Mr. Brown’s wonderful production of The Power of Song that emulates what Pete is all about…. The world will only change from small groups of people and so much more.  We will miss Pete dearly and will be dedicating our Peace Day Party event in 2014  to this very humble talented caring man…. A LEGEND IN OUR TIME.

Paul Sladkus and the Good News Family  

Seeger’s best known for songs include “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” “If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)” and “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season).”

But his influence extended far beyond individual hits.

His grandson Kitama Cahill Jackson told CNN that the singer died of natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital on Monday evening.
