~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: I think a man and a woman should choose each other for life, for the simple reason that a long life with all its accidents is barely enough for a man and a woman to understand each other; and in this case to understand is to love. The man who understands one woman is qualified to understand pretty well everything. - John Butler Yeats.

He decided to begin his lesson with a riddle: "What is it that collects nuts for the winter, climbs trees, and has a bushy tail?" An eager little girl near the front waved her hand. The pastor called on her. "Well," she said, "I know the answer's supposed to be Jesus, but is sure sounds like a squirrel to me."

When they neared the pew where he sat, the youngster piped up so that everyone could hear; "Don't pay for me Daddy, I'm under five."

Mentioning that the flier was 40 at the time her plane was lost, I asked the class if they thought 40 was old. "No, I don't," Bonnie said, which made me feel better as I was approaching middle age. Then she added, "Forty is young if you're dead, but old if you're alive." - Jerry Morris in Reader's Digest http:www.readersdigest.com Source: Keith's Mostly Clean Humor, McHawList-subscribe@onelist.com via http://www.witandwisdom.org ~~~ A Sunday school teacher had been telling a class of little boys about crowns of glory and heavenly rewards for good people. 'Now tell me,' the teacher said at the close of the lesson, 'who will get the biggest crown?' There was silence for a while then Johnnie replied, 'Him wots got the biggest head!'
