It always helps to learn a lesson before we get in a situation where we feel as if it is too late to learn anything. Then again, it is never too late to get a little bit smarter or to gain a degree of wisdom that we didn’t have before. That is the subject of the following joke, which had a husband and his wife waiting at the bus stop with their 9 children. I’m sure that they were just out for a regular day but by the time it was over, he was going to be taught a lesson in life that he will never forget.
A husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes.
When the bus arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus.
So the husband and the blind man decide to walk.
After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him, “Why don’t you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy.”
The blind man replies, “If you had put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we’d be riding the bus, so shut up.”
