To pass the time when nothing else can please;

To play with fools, oh, what a fool was I!

What about the southpaws? Why are left handed people called southpaws? It goes back to the earliest days of baseball. A baseball diamond is set up to that the batter always faces east, so in the afternoon, the sun won't be in his or her eyes. If the batter faces east, the pitcher faces west. So, if a batter is left-handed, his hand, or paw is to the south. Left-handed people are statistically more likely to be geniuses. Unfortunately lefties are statistically more likely to be insane. Left-handedness is more common among writers and some kinds of artists. They also tend to be more accident-prone and on average don't live as long. Source: The Unbelievable Truth – Jeff Rovin n |

decided to send a letter to the 30% to encourage them to become more like the salt they
were supposed to be. A lonely frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and asked what his future holds. Did you hear about the 2 guys who decided to try duck hunting? They bought
new outfits & equipment, and went out to a place in the woods where they heard the
hunting was really good. But after several hours of thrashing through the woods, one
fellow said, "I don't know about this. We've been out here all day and haven't caught
a single duck. Do you think we're doing something wrong?"
Several Nuns were in their second floor convent one night when a fire broke out. The Nuns took their habits off and tied them together to make a rope to get out of the building via the window. A grandmother decided to send a new playpen to her granddaughter for the birth of the granddaughter's fourth child. A week later the grandmother received a thank-you note. 'Thank you for your thoughtfulness,' the granddaughter wrote. 'I sit in the playpen for an hour every afternoon, and the children can't get near me!' TRUE FACT ...
