Quote for the Month
“From
these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which
they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the
people, by the people, for the people, shall not parish from the
earth.”
Abraham
Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 1863

Joke
of the Month
There was this old priest who got sick of
all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday,
in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to
adultery, “I'll quit!" Well, everyone liked him, so they
came up with a code word.
Someone who had committed adultery
would say they had "fallen".
This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well,
until he died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest
arrived, he visited the Mayor of the town and seemed very
concerned.
The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks
in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking
about having fallen."
The Mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new
priest about the code word.
Before
the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at him and
said, "I don't know what you're laughing about. Your wife fell
three times this week."

year 2001-2002. My how time
