The best laughs I have known in life have been from my own children. I have captured rhetorical comments from my children's discussions. No Pulitzer Prize could ever hold a candle to the notes jotted in this little book in my kitchen. "I wonder if the tooth fairy is a boy or a girl." "Mom, what is it like being a grown up? Do you like buying everything you want and giving the kids nothing." "Mom, what name did you have when you were a kid?" "I wish I had a birthday everyday." "If alcohol and cigarettes are bad for you then why did somebody invent them?" "Mom, are the friends you had as a kid still alive?" "The cat went to the vegetarian to be neutered." "What's neutered?" "It means he'll come back a girl." "What is a pilgrim?" "That's the ones who don't know how to plant corn." "Who picked the very first king and queen there ever was?" "Mom, when you die, can I be a mom?" "I can't swallow anything in my neck because my clams are swollen." "Mom, is there only one man in the world for me? How many are there? About 30 in each country?" "Does God have a nose?" "Mom, you're the best mom I ever had."

The cashier glanced at it, and let the girl pass without paying. When the proprietor appeared, the cashier handed him the note. He studied the number, frowning, then demanded to know its meaning. 'You see,' said the cashier, 'it reads, I owe nothing for I ate nothing.'

The brainchild of ambulance man and former British BMX bike racing champion, Tom Lynch, the two-wheeled ambulances will be sent to emergency calls in central London at the same time as their four-wheel counterparts, the ambulance service said. Trials conducted in 2000 by Lynch himself revealed the bicycles are likely to arrive first in 88 percent of cases. In a third of calls, the bicycle ambulance man was also able to treat the patient at the scene and cancel the full ambulance response, freeing up much needed capacity for more serious cases. "Bicycles are the ideal way to cut through slow-moving or stationary traffic so that medical treatment can be given quickly before other help arrives," Lynch said. The bicycle ambulances will be targeted primarily at those patients whose conditions are classed as neither serious nor immediately life-threatening, the ambulance service said.
