    If a man is alone in the woods, says something, and a woman does not hear, is he still wrong?

    Common sense is not a gift. It's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else who doesn't have it.

    Basketball team makes the football and baseball players look like Mensans...
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-
