Oddly enuff, many a man acquires a huge vocabulary simply by marrying it.

College graduates stand a very good chance of getting a job from someone who didn't go to college at all.

These days, for every student who shows a spark of intelligence, there are ten more with ignition trouble.

Think how lucky the kids studying history in the US are, compared to some of the other countries. Kids in this country only have to learn the date of one revolution.

After my daughter Sandy had successfully graduated from college she asked me if I thought she would ever get a chance to put into practice everything she'd learned.

Didn't take me a second to reply, "I certainly hope not Sandy...  I certainly hope not !"

An immigrant came to the US and was unable to find work. A local Parish Priest mercifully let him act as the Church's Beadle. It wasn't long before it was discovered the man could neither read nor write, and he was fired.

He got a job in a grocery store, worked hard, saved his money and eventually opened-up his own store. As the years went by, he added store by store until he became a millionaire.

Being interviewed, the reporter was amazed that the man could not read or write to that day. He said, "Think where you would be today if you could read and write."

The old man replied, "Yeah. I'd be a minor official in a local Catholic Church."
