To make up for my previously posted tirade.....

Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the drama. Then, she asked the class,"If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what wouldyou do?" A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, "I think I'd throw up."

(That definitely me...)

Nine-year-old Joey, was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday school. "Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemylines ona rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to theRed Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then, he used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.""Now, Joey, is that really whatyour teacher taught you?" his mother asked. "Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!"

The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Johnny interrupted, "My Mummy looked back once, while she was DRIVING,"he announced triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone pole!"

A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?" "No,"replied Johnny. "How could he, with just two worms."

So, you feel a compulsion to make up for your previous post?

(Picture yourself reclining on a couch somewhere. I am wearing reading classes and pacing introspectively.)

What was it that you wanted to make up for?
