A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.
"The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple, ordinary and take for granted are truly wondrous!
Very nice, BBB.
I liked it.
I have seen all the seven 'physical' sights, but I agree with that girl.
c.i.
I've got an alternate modern day life 7 wonders
#1 how if you owe tax, the revenue sent some muscle round
#2 how if they owe you a refund, their computer is always crashed
#3 when you want a cop they are always chasing speedsters
#4 when the pension fund crashes, it's never the fault of the administrators
#5 when the politician says no sex took place, his character is invariably stained by his wife
#6 you take your suit to the dry cleaners and the secret service ask you to go downtown for a ride and a long chat
#7 your credit card is maxed out and the ATM still gives you an advance of $500
