WITandWISDOM(tm) - August 27, 2004 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: No race can prosper till it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. - Booker T. Washington Source: The Funnies, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/andychaps_the-funnies ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Four-year-old Bradley Davies knew there was a problem when his mother Joanne started shaking and losing consciousness and began to slip into a diabetic coma. But she had taught him what to do and he knew he had to boost her sugar levels. He fed her a biscuit and milk after dialing 999, and then waited for paramedics to reach their home. Bradley said: "I told the woman on the phone mummy was shaking. I gave her milk and a biscuit and opened the door for paramedics with my doctor's coat on." Paramedics in Liverpool were surprised to find Bradley Davies at the door of his home with a toy stethoscope around his neck. Joanne was allowed home after two days at Liverpool's Fazakerley Hospital. A Merseyside Ambulance spokesman said: "What this little boy did can't be underestimated. His quick-thinking probably saved her life." Source: Ananova http://www.ananova.com ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: About Dog . . . "No animal should ever jump up on the dining-room furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation." - Fran Lebowitz "The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue." - Anonymous "Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful." - Ann Landers Source: Quotes of the Day, mailto:rheamo@centurytel.net?subject=Subscribe_Quotes_of_the_Day ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: A young lawyer, just out of Law School, was pleading his first case in South Carolina. A train had killed twenty-four pigs, and the young attorney was trying to impress the jury with the magnitude of the injury. "Yes, Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, twenty-four pigs. Imagine, twenty-four pigs. Twice the number there are in the jury box."
