  1. I normally don't post in here, but got this in an email a few days ago. Hope it's not a repost. The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a primary school class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy". So the illustrious Rev Jackson asks the class for an example of a "tragedy". One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "that would be an accident." A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." I'm afraid not," explains the exalted Reverend Al. "That's what we would call a great loss." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Reverend Al searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises his hand. In a stern voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson and Sharpton, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says little Johnny, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either." Don Here's to friends!

  8. Sure, why not. *Pulls guy card out of wallet* The Bridges of Madison County. Especially the scene near the end when years later Francesca (Meryl Streep) receives the package with all of Robert's (Clint Eastwood) stuff in it and you know he has passed away. Got to me anyways.

  9. Tell me about it. I just looked out at my sidewalk, I think it's a rain/slush mix now. Won't be long now though!

  11. Thanks! Up until this year we had to have county tax stickers too!! The Sporty I bought a couple of years ago originally had the sticker on the front fork where it's supposed to be, I took care of that the first time I got it inspected. You should have seen the look on my face when I saw the kid at the inspection station getting ready to scrape the old one off the fork with a dull razor blade!! Hold up Junior, I'll take care of that. Don Here's to friends!
