WITandWISDOM(tm) - October 7, 1999 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "Don't underestimate the power of emotion to undermine logic" - Author Unknown (E-zine: DIVERSIONS DIGEST http://www.worldstart.com/diversions.htm) ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: THE SONG OF MY LIFE by Heather Eick, (c) 1999 Master, squeaking and straining my life is playing slightly out of tune tighten a string mend a voice keep the heart in rhythm flat or sharp the melody changes never sounding right praying repetitiously I wish that I might delight you with a perfect song sweet and pure soloing in your ear and yet, I know when I perform it is you the crowd hears and my mistakes are muffled in the symphony of your love. ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: IT HAS BEEN SO HOT AND DRY THAT: A parent prayed, "I sure wish it would rain, not for me, because I've seen it, but my 7-year old, hasn't." You no longer associate bridges with water. Your seat belt makes a great branding iron. If the temperature drops below 90, you get a little chilly. You discover it takes only two fingers to drive your car. Hot water now comes out of both sides of the tap. It's noon, the kids are on summer vacation & not a soul is on the streets. Your fear is that if you have a wreck and you wind up lying on the street, you may cook to death.

One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other. Sandy approached and asked if she was all right. The girl said she was. A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself. Approaching again, Sandy offered, "Would you like me to be your friend?" The girl hesitated, then said, "Okay," looking at the woman suspiciously. Feeling she was making progress, Sandy then asked, "Why are you standing here all alone?" "Because," the little girl said with great exasperation, "I'm the goalie!"

Of all the words in the English language, the word "set" has the most definitions. The words "assassination" and "bump" were invented by Shakespeare. "Bookkeeper" is the only word in the English language with three consecutive double letters. (E-zine: TODAY'S USELESS FACTS Mailto:Useless_Facts-subscribe@listbot.com) |
