A/N: I got the idea while in Charleston. We went to this restaurant and they had these little with really cool sayings and stuff on them. I snagged a few and brought them back. This story comes from one of these cards. Hope you guys all enjoy it. Plz R&R.

Janet stood up and called attention by tapping her fork against her champagne glass.
"Okay everyone, I have a speech prepared, and if you all would please listen, I'll go ahead and read it out."
"Just get it over with doc, we're not getting any younger here!"
"Jack, watch it. Or else I'll have to pull out the really big needles for your next physical."
That shut him up real quick.
"Okay, I saw this once in a book, and I thought it was very fitting. Steve Stephens originally wrote it. Hope you guys like it.
