"I'm not saying we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person, or God as a thing, or whatever it is. I just said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this." - John Lennon

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald -

You can't be a "real" country unless you have a BEER and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER.

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each person's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.

As they went along they passed some people who remarked
it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.

The man and the boy thought maybe the critics were right,
so they changed positions.

Later they passed some people that remarked
what a shame the little boy was walking

They decided to both walk!

Soon they passed some people who thought
they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride


So they both rode the donkey!

Now they passed some people that shamed them saying
How awful to put such a load on the donkey

The boy and the man said they were probably right so
they decided to carry the donkey.

As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the donkey
and he feel into the river

The moral of the story?...

If you try to please everyone, you will eventually lose your ass!

Max, I saw the prettiest green PT Cruiser today and thought about you and Nevelle(sp?)

Wise Women

Do you know what would have happened
If it had been Three Wise Women
Instead of Three Wise Men?
They would have asked directions,
Arrived on time,
Helped deliver the baby,
Cleaned the stable,
Made a casserole,
Brought practical gifts and
There would be Peace On Earth.

Moon, The green is pretty, isn't it? :) I've decided how I want to customize mine, but haven't found a painter to do it yet. You'll appreciate this: I want it to have stars streaming down the sides as if I'm driving through a big star-field. I figure irridescent stars on the taupe-frost-metallic background would look really cool. :)

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with three young
mothers and their small children.
"You all have obsessions," he observed.
To the first mother, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even
named your daughter Candy.
"He turned to the second mom. "Your obsession is money. Again, it
manifests itself in your child's name, Penny.
"At this point, the third mother got up, took her little boy by the hand and
whispered, "Come on, Dick, let's go."

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
