1. A woman asked to be excused from jury duty because she did not believe in capital punishment. The judge told her: "Madam, this is a simple civil suit. The plaintiff's husband gambled away the $12,000 he had promised his wife for her birthday to remodel the kitchen." The woman considered this and then said: "OK, I'll serve on the jury. Sometimes capital punishment is the right thing."
THE HOT DOG VENDOR
2. A committed Buddhist made his living as a hot dog vendor in New York City. A smart-aleck customer came up to him a said, "Make me one with everything." The Buddhist had heard this many times before, said nothing, and served the man a hot dog with everything on it. The man paid with a twenty-dollar bill. The vendor put the money in his pocket without giving the man his change. The angry customer said, "Hey, I gave you twenty dollars. Where's my change?" Calmly the Buddhist answered, "Change comes from within."
