WITandWISDOM(tm) - March 30, 2000 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: Loyalty can lead to fanaticism. Caution can become timidity. Freedom can become license. Confidence can become arrogance. Humility can become servility. All these are ways in which strength can become weakness. - Dore Schary - Bits & Pieces, December 9, 1993 (Magazine: BITS & PIECES http://www.epinc.com/ ) ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: "If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it." - Max Lucado "We, as Christians, need to stop telling God how big our mountains are and start telling our mountains how big our God is!" - John Osteen (E-zine: SERMON FODDER Mailto:Sermon_Fodder-subscribe@onelist.com) ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: THINGS CHILDREN SAY & DO: Second-grader's advice to his kindergarten brother: "They work on you until they get you to spell 'cat.' Then you're trapped. The words get harder and harder." From Terry Marchal (E-zine: KEITH'S MOSTLY CLEAN HUMOR Mailto:McHawList- subscribe@onelist.com) ~~~~~~ A teacher was working with a group of children, trying to broaden their horizons through sensory exploration. With their eyes closed, they would feel objects from pumice stones to pine cones and smell aromatic herbs and exotic fruits. One day the teacher brought in a great variety of lifesavers and had the children close their eyes and taste them. They readily identified the taste of cherries, lemons and mint. But honey-flavored lifesavers had them stumped. "I'll give you a hint," said the teacher. "It's something your Daddy probably calls your Mommy sometimes." A young fellow spat out the lifesaver and shouted: "Spit 'em out, you guys! They're dingbats!"

I think it's just a regular fairy who gets dressed up. From the Sy & Phil show, 98MOR-FM radio, Dunedin, New Zealand. (E-zine: KEITH'S MOSTLY CLEAN HUMOR Mailto:McHawList-subscribe@onelist.com) ~~~~~~ I'm down in the basement when I hear something fall down the steps. So, I go take a look. There, at the base of the steps lies a package of donuts. I look up and there's my 3 yr old daughter. "Why did you toss the donuts down the steps?" There's a question I never thought I would be asking. "I need you to open them", she said in a very matter-of-fact way.

A couple of days later someone added one word . . . "Why?"

The infamous computer from "2001: A Space Odyssey" was named by putting together each letter in the alphabet preceding the letters IBM (HAL). ( Egghead AuctioNEWS) |
