Some thing to lighten the mood.

A rookie police officer pulled a biker over for speeding and had the following exchange:

• Officer: May I see your driver's license?

• Biker: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

• Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?

• Biker: It's not my bike. I stole it.

• Officer: The motorcycle is stolen?

• Biker: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the tool bag when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the tool bag?

• Biker: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the dude who owns this bike and stuffed his dope in the saddle bags.

• Officer: There's drugs in the saddle bags too?!?!?

• Biker: Yes, sir. Hearing this, the rookie immediately called his captain. The biker was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the biker to handle the tense situation:

• Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

• Biker: Sure. Here it is. It was valid.

• Captain: Who's motorcycle is this?

• Biker: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration.

• Captain: Could you slowly open your tool bag so I can see if there's a gun in it?

• Biker: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. Sure enough, there was nothing in the tool bag.

• Captain: Would you mind opening your saddle bags? I was told you said there's drugs in them.

• Biker: No problem. The saddle bags were opened; no drugs.

• Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole this motorcycle, had a gun in the tool bag, and that there were drugs in the saddle bags.

• Biker: Yeah, I'll bet he told you I was speeding, too.

"So I went to Walmart today in Marksville and I was third in line. There was an older woman checking out, a middle aged couple behind her, and I was next. Well I noticed the woman checking out had almost every basic item you could need: shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste, tooth brush, hair brush, a couple of pairs of shoes, some clothes, basic make up items.... Etc.... I didn't think anything of it but as she was almost done (her total was over $350) the man in front of me asked her Are you sending this stuff to flood victims?' And the woman said, 'Actually sir, I am a flood victim, I lost everything I own and didn't have time to even grab my purse. There is water up to my roof. I'm staying here with my daughter until I can figure things out.' And just like that, the man handed the cashier his credit card and paid for the woman's things. She cried, his wife cried, and then I cried. It was so touching to see someone be so selfless, especially in this trying time for Louisiana! Pay it forward."

A young couple moved into a new house.

The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.

"That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better soap powder.

Her husband looked on, remaining silent.

Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.

A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life… What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.

"Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are."

The plane passengers on the South Korea to US flight initially thought she was a flight attendant. But there was something unusual about her.

She was carrying a baby as she went around from seat to seat, distributing over 200 'goodie bags' containing candy and ear plugs.

It came with a note written by the mom on behalf of her 4-year-old.

Here's what the note said:

- - -

Hello, I’m Junwoo and I’m 4 months old.

Today, I am going to the U.S. with my mom and grandmom to see my aunt.

I’m a little bit nervous and scary because it’s my first flight in my life, which means that I may cry or make too much noise.

I will try to go quietly, though I can’t make any promises. Please excuse me.

So my mom prepared little goodie bag for you!

It has some candies and earplugs.

Please use it when it’s too noisy because of me.

Enjoy your trip. Thank you. :)

The mom spoke only Korean and did not understand English.

But she took the time and effort to ensure that her fellow passengers were not inconvenienced by her child, who was travelling by air for the first time.

If you're curious - Little Junwoo was very well behaved on the flight.

Many readers have applauded the mother's gesture and how considerate she was to her fellow-travellers
