NEGATIVE PEOPLE...THIS IS PRICELESS..

This is something to think about when negative people are doing their

Best to rain on your parade.   Try to remember this story the next time

Someone who knows nothing, and cares even less, tries to make your life

miserable.

 A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to

Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who

responded, ' Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there?  It's horribly

expensive, terribly overcrowded and awfully dirty. You're crazy to go to

Rome .  So, how are you getting there?'

'We're taking Continental,' she replied, 'We got a great rate!'

'Continental?' exclaimed the hairdresser. 'That's a terrible airline!

Their planes are old, their flight attendants are rude and they're

always late.

So, where are you staying in Rome ?'

'We're going to stay at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's

Tiber River  called 'Teste'.'

'Don't go any further. I know that place!  Everybody thinks it's going

to be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump; the worst

hotel in the city!  The rooms are small, the service is surly and

they're overpriced. So, whatcha' doing when you get there?'

'We're going to go to see the Vatican and hopefully see the Pope.'

'That's rich!' laughed the hairdresser.  'You, and a *million* other

people trying to see him.  He'll look the size of an ant.  Bless your

heart . .

. it really sounds as if it's going to be a miserable trip.'

A month later, the woman again came into the hairdresser's shop. The

hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome .

'It was wonderful!' exclaimed the woman. 'Not only was the flight on

time; we were on one of Continental's brand new 777's.  As luck would

have it, coach was overbooked so they bumped us up to Business First.

The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome steward named

Joe-Dan who waited on me hand and foot.  Then we got to the hotel, and

it was was great!

They'd just finished a $5 million restoration and now it's a jewel; the

finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized

and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!'

'Well,' muttered the hairdresser, 'that's all well and good, but I know

you didn't get to see the Pope.'

'Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican a Swiss

Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to

meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his

private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough,

five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand!

I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.'

'Oh really?  What did he say?'

He said, 'Where'd you get the shitty haircut?'
