WITandWISDOM(tm) - April 10, 1998 THOUGHTS: Disappointments should be cremated, not embalmed. - Quips & Quotes, E. C. McKenzie SPECIAL THOUGHTS: HIS LOVE FOR ME By Larry F. Jones About two thousand years ago There was a virgin birth That's when my Lord and savior Was placed upon this earth It wasn't very long Before his power was shown The wonders that he wrought This world had never known He was feared by the priests And hated by the kings When deserted by his followers Felt the sorrow loneliness brings Then he prayed to his father In a garden called gethsemene About the coming day When they would nail him to a tree Then they crucified my Lord Tho no blame could they see It wasn't the nails that kept him there It was his love for me They placed him in a borrowed tomb Innocent Jesus was laid to rest From there he met the devil And put him to the test There he defeated death For all eternity Once again my risen Lord Has shown his love for me (Shared by John L. Hoh, Jr.) THIS & THAT: A professor stood before his class of 20 senior organic biology students, about to hand out the final exam. "I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this semester. I know you've all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to medical school after summer. So that no one gets their GPA messed up because they might have been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a "B" for the course." There was much rejoicing amongst the class as students got up, passed by the professor to thank him and sign out on his offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, "Any one else? This is your last chance." One final student rose up and took the offer. The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining. "I'm glad to see you believe in yourself." he said. "You all have "A"s."

In the middle of a discussion about babies, 4-year-old Madison asked, "Mommy, why is it that Oma (Dutch for "Grandma") has no babies?" "Well," said her mother, "she has had four baby boys, but they are all grown up. Your daddy was the youngest baby of your Oma." Madison paused, then said, "Oh, Oma and Opa, thank you very much for giving me my good daddy!" - Leslie Keizer TRIVIA: CAFFEINE CONTENTS OF VARIOUS DRINKS Units are mgs per 12oz can.
