While in Vegas on a business meeting this week (yes, Vegas twice in a couple months), had the privilege of hearing Dr. Rick Rigsby, motivational speaker, uncommon minister, explosion of energy, funny man, & story teller extraordinaire. His "Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout" -- lessons from his father -- are moving. But his sense of humor is right up my alley... let's tune in to his story:
I was talking to Mr. Robert Jenkins, a 92 year old man in my neighborhood I know who is the picture of absolute health. This man has the stamina of a 40 year old! Stands tall, rosy cheeks, and he jogs. One day I took him aside, and I said, "Mr. Jenkins, there is something I must ask, and you must share, because we young-uns have to know the truth. When you've lived a fine and full life for a long 90 years, you gotta tell us -- c'mon Mr. Jenkins, share -- is it BOXERS or BRIEFS at 90 years of age?
And Mr. Jenkins looked at me, and he said, "Boxers or Briefs? Dr. Rick -- DEPENDS!"
