Mark's Remarks 8/31

Warning, this is an earthy story. If you can’t handle it, don’t read it.

The San Francisco Zoo has an elephant called Calle who has a chronic illness requiring medication. The zoo people couldn't get Calle to take her dose orally, so a California pharmacologist developed a suppository. The 10-inch-long, four-pound, cocoa-butter bullets are crafted by the good folks at Guittard Chocolates in Burlingame.
Administering the daily medication takes five zoo workers, including one person to distract Calle with treats and one person who wears a full-arm glove.Why did I write this?
Several people in this very room will dread going back to work on Tuesday. If that person is you, if you're prone to complain about your job, or your life, just think: at least FIVE people out there have jobs worse than yours!
Remember, “He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread.” (Proverbs 12:11)
