Tongue Twisters

Better sometimes to be blind, dumb, and deaf
It's better sometimes to be blind to the faults of some poor fellow beings.
Than to view them with visions unkind when there's good we ought to be seeing.
It's better sometimes to be dumb than to speak just to be criticizing.
Though it seems to be given some to recall traits both mean and despising,
Its better sometimes to be deaf than to hear only lying and pander,
For there's nothing so low as of a good name destroyed by slander.

If I knew
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep.
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I saw you walk out the door.
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted in praise.
I would tape each action and word so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two.
to stop and say "I love you", instead of assuming you would know I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day.
Well, I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight.
and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another day to say our "I love yous."
and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything's I can do's."
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike.
Today may be the last time you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you are waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day.
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss.
and you were too busy to grant someone what turned out to be their last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear.
that you love them very much and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry", "Please forgive me", "Thank you"
and if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

A) 2 Italian men and a woman
The one Italian man killed the other for the Italian woman.
B) 2 French men and a woman
All three of them are living together as a single family.
C) 2 German men and a woman
The German men have created a strict weekly schedule of when each of them gets to spend time with the German woman.
D) 2 Greek men and a woman
The two Greek men are happy together while the Greek woman is cooking and cleaning for them.
E) 2 Polish men and a woman
The men took a long look at the endless ocean and then a long look at the Polish woman, and they started swimming away.
F) 2 Mexican men and a woman
The two men are trying to find some other men on the island to try and sell them the Mexican woman.
G) 2 American men and a woman
The men are contemplating committing suicide as the American woman just keeps talking about her body being her own, the true nature of feminism, how she does not need a man, how her ex-boyfriends respected her opinion and treated her much better, how she can do everything they can do, and how her relationship with her mother is improving when she gets saved.
H) 2 Indian men and a woman
The Indian men are still waiting for someone to introduce them to the Indian woman.
