This is something to think about when negative people are doing their
best to rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time
someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life
miserable.A woman was at her hairdresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to
Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who
responded, ” Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty. You’re crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?”We’re taking Continental,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!”
“Continental?” exclaimed the hairdresser. “That’s a terrible airline.
Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly and they’re always
late. So, where are you staying in Rome?”“We’ll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome’s Tiber River
called Teste.”“Don’t go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it’s gonna
be something special and exclusive, but it’s really a dump, the worst
hotel in the city! The rooms are small, the service is surly and they’re
overpriced. So, whatcha’ doing when you get there?”“We’re going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope.”
“That’s rich,” laughed the hairdresser, “You and a million other people
trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on
this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it.”A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser
asked her about her trip to Rome.“It was wonderful!” exclaimed the woman, “Not only were we on time in one of Continental’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They’d just finished a $5 million remodeling
job and now it’s a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were
overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner’s suite at no
extra charge!”Well,” muttered the hairdresser, “that’s all well and good, but I know
you didn’t get to see the Pope.”“Actually, we were quite lucky, becau se as we toured the Vatican a Swiss
Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private
room and wait the Pope would personally greet me.Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and
shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.”“Oh, really! What’d he say?”
He said, “Where’d you get the shitty haircut.March 19, 2007 at 8:00 am #7900AnonymousInactiveI think they mean Trieste. Hotel Teste has an entirely different connotation.
