Do It Yourself!

"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from
evil". Proverbs 3:7

Tony Thompson inherited and old house from a relative who has died.

Unfortunately, the house needed a lot of repair work. He hired a plumber to install a new shower, but it was very expensive. So tony decided to hang the shower curtain rod himself.

Unfortunately, the ladder tilted and his electric drill slipped out of his hands.

The drill landed in the bathtub and cracked the tub.

Tony then tied his ladder securely to the window frame, picked up his drill, and climbed up the ladder again. He started to drill a hole in the wall.

Unfortunately he drilled straight trough a water pipe. The drill exploded and almost electrocuted Tony at the same time. As he fell, Tony grabbed the ladder and pulled the window frame out of the wall.

Without a drill Tony couldn´t install the shower rod, so he decided to remove an old fireplace instead. This worked quite well.

Tony survived, but unfortunately a piece of flying shattered the television screen.

Tony had piled some very expensive Italian titles at the top of the stairs.

Unlucky, he tripped on the carpet and smashed every single one of them.

Tony refused to give up. He decided to paint the garage roof. Naturally unfortunately, he stumbled, dropped a bucket through a fanlight, and covered his car with bright orange paint.

Well… at the end of the day, Tony decided looking for somebody who wants an old house!

Sweet  Revenge

3. 1 Kings 21:3: And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, that I should
give the inheritance of my father’s unto thee.

Carlo  Gamba left his home in southern  Italy in 1913, when he was twenty-three years old. His family never saw him again. In San Francisco, Carlo met and married Lydia, who was also Italian.  They had not children. The two of them worked seven days a week and most nights in their little corner store. They saved and invested every penny they earned.

“Friends of ours ask us, ´why don´t you take vacations? Why don´t you buy a big house?´ We have our shop. We have each other. We are content. That´s our secret,” explained Lydia.

In 1962, Carlo learned that his last remaining relative, his younger brother Sergio, had sold the family home in Italy for $ 1,000. Carlo did not get a penny from the sale. He did not say a word about it. But he did not forget, and he did not forgive.

Before Carlo and Lynda both died in an accident in 1992, they had amassed a fortune of $5 million. Sergio heard the news of this fortune with delight, but the smile on his face did not last long. His share was exactly five dollars.

 Carlo´s will said, “I leave all my money except five dollars to my home town of Verbicaro to build a hospital in memory of me and my wife. The five dollars I leave to that young brother of mine so that he can buy a drink and remember that he should never have sold the family home without my consent.”

Who Was Been Sleeping In My Bed?

Golden Beach is an exclusive residential area in south Florida. Many Rich and famous people spend the fall and winter months from October to April there.

In the summer, when the temperature gets too hot, they leave town. They hire security guards to protect their homes when they are away.

All that security did not, however, stop a 19-years-old traveler from entering the villa of a wealthy businessman last year. It happened on Sunday, the fifteenth of January, just before seven in the evening. The young man bent back the bars on a second floor bathroom window and climbed in. he looked around, liked what he saw, and stayed in the house for the next three months. He was never discovered, despite the guards, maids, and gardeners who were working in the house and on the grounds every day.

While he was staying in the house, the trespasser ate everything in the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, ran up a $7,000 telephone bill, and wore or sold most of the men´s clothes in the closets. When the owner returned at the end of April, he found his uninvited guest fast asleep in his bed-just like Goldilocks!

The young man is now a guest in a Florida prison.
