A priest goes into a barbershop, gets a haircut, thanks the barber and asks how much he owes him.
The barber says, "Father, you're a holy man, a man of the cloth, I couldn't charge you, it's on the house."
The priest says, "Thank you very much" and leaves.
The next day, magically appearing on the doorstep of the barbershop are 12 gold coins.
A few days later, a minister goes in for a shave and a shine, and when the time comes to pay the barber says, "No money, please, you're a spiritual leader, a man of the cloth. It's on the house."
The next day, magically appearing on the doorstep are 12 rubies.
The following week a rabbi comes in, gets a haircut, goes to pay, and the barber says, "No, rabbi, you are a learned man, a wise man. I can't take any money from you. Go in peace."
And the next day, magically appearing on the doorstep of the barbershop are 12 rabbis.

Morning Army, OT'ers
I'm ready for a good day of giving my mom the day off from everything. Got her a nice card, a really nice smelling candle, and her favorite meal - RIBEYES. Taking her to my sister's home for lunch with shrimp poboys, then for dinner she's going to have a big juicy ribeye. Just a small way to show her some love after all she's done for me here since my diagnosis, it's going to be a good day.

Going to spend some serious time in the kitchen this morning... wife requested something a little off the beaten path, "Ocean Trout Wellington".
Steelhead trout, stuffed with rice and spices, baked in puff pastry.
This is our tradition where she picks whatever she wants and I spend as much time as needed to prepare it.
Seems a good tradeoff since all I do is buy tools, computers, and guns.
