One for you and one for me

 There was a huge nut tree by the cemetery fence. One day two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me," said one boy. The bucket was so full; several rolled out towards the fence.

Cycling down the road by the cemetery was a third boy. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you." He knew what it was. "Oh my god!" he shuddered, "It's Satan and St. Peter dividing the souls at the cemetery!"

He cycled down the road and found an old man with a cane, hobbling along.  "Come quick!" he said, "You won't believe what I heard. Satan and St. Peter are down at the cemetery dividing the souls."

The man said, "Shoo, you brat! Can't you see I'm finding it hard to walk as it is!" After several pleas, the man hobbled to the cemetery and heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one..." The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth! Let's see if we can see the Devil himself."

Shivering with fear, they edged toward the fence, still unable to see anything, but they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me, And one last one for you. That's all. Let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll be done."

They say the old guy made it to town 10 minutes before the boy!

Yeh Don!

Keep them coming!  I am now looking forward to Friday's!  It used to be the end of the work week, but retirement means that is no longer - and the work seems to never end.

Marketing? I think not. I suspect everyone looks forward to Don's Friday Funny.

Laughter's the best medicine.

I don't know whether or not you are aware of the history of this board.  In case not, this is a bit about it from a user's perspective:  Several years ago we almost lost the Joslin Boards.  Supporting them became something Joslin alone could not continue.  Regular users of the board worried much over a period of months that we would lose this medium of support and communication with one another.  After much searching, Joslin found a corporate contributor, Medtronic.  There may be others as well.  I, for one, am grateful that this board continues to operate.  Perhaps I am hyper sensitive or misunderstand Joslin's parameters concerning marketing by users, but that is a matter for Joslin staff to decide.  However, knowing what's at stake for users, I will continue to alert staff when I feel it is appropriate.

John,

Not Don's Friday Funny -- of course we all enjoy that!  I was refering to a user who responded with a business name and taglines.
