Favorite Quote from Book of Lismore

A favorite quote from my reckless and intemperate youth is from the Book of Lismore:

"And what was it that sustained your life so?", Patrick asked.

Caeilte answered, "Truth was in our hearts, strength in our bodies and what we promised, that we did."

- The Colloquy of the Ancients, from the Book of Lismore.

My Time Is Up?

A 54-year-old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience.

Seeing God, she asked, 'Is my time up?'

God said, 'No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live.'

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, 'I thought you said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?'

God replied: 'I didn't recognize you.'
