Strange Quotes About the Media:

News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising. (Lord Northcliffe)

You can fool all of the people all of the time if the advertising is right and the budget is big enough. (Joseph E. Levine)

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers. (Daniel J. Boorstin)

There's no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary. (Brendan Behan)

In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes. (Andy Warhol)

Small earthquake in Chile. Not many dead. (Claud Cockburn, winning entry for a dullest headline competition at the Times)

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - How Many Scientists Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb?

How many scientists does it take to screw in a lightbulb

Q: How many scientists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They use them as controls in double blind trials.

Q: How many academics does it take to change a lightbulb ?
A: None. That is what their students are for. (from Philip Clarke in New Scientist)

A: Five: One to write the grant proposal, one to do the mathematical modeling, one to type the research paper, one to submit the paper for publishing, and one to hire a student to do the work.

Q: How many laboratory heads (senior researchers, etc.) does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Five; one to change the lightbulb, the other four to stand around arguing whether he/she is taking the right approach.

Q: How many research technicians does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One, but it'll probably take him/her three or four tries to get it right.

Q: How many post-doctoral fellows does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One, but it'll probably take three or four tries to get it right because he/she will probably give it to the technician to do.

Q: How many graduate students does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only one, but it may take upwards of five years for him to get it done.
A: It all depends on the size of the grant.
A: Two and a professor to take credit.
A: 1/100. A graduate student needs to change 100 lightbulbs a day.
A: I don't know, but make my stipend tax-free, give my adviser a $100,000 grant of the taxpayer's money, and I'm sure he can tell me how to do the work for him so he can take the credit for answering this incredibly vital question.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Other than making hay-fever snot

>> Jellytext <<
Our lovely chum ‏@mattround has been riffing on
the rubbish old text system we had on TVs before
the modern miracle of the Red Button.
http://mattround.com/jellytext/

>> Trippy Bloc Party video <<
"Finally", writes Mutated Monty AKA Cyriak, "I
got to make a video for a band I had actually
heard of!"
http://www.b3ta.com/links/video_I_made_for_Bloc_Party

>> Shapey Dave <<
"A kids' TV show we were trying to pitch,"
writes Weebl, "Any television types out there,
I'd love feedback about where we went wrong!"
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Shapey_Dave

>> I Love You So Hard Part 4 <<
"I love you so hard! I'd do anything for you!"
writes Joel Veitch. "Part 4 of a collaboration
between me and Butters. Our demented Lothario
continues his romantic quest to win the woman of
his dreams."
http://www.b3ta.com/links/I_Love_You_So_Hard_Part_4

>> Why we like cat videos <<
Somegreybloke mulls over the reasons why we love
to watch video of cute kittens cavorting on the
internet. Deep.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Why_we_like_cat_videos

>> A Summer Jam <<
"Produced on Werkbench, flower pots, snifter, and
drum machine," writes app producer karls. "At
least I think that is a snifter." Enjoyable
seeing music being produced this way, in front of
your eyes with impromptu samples.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/1023548

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Exploding Actresses <<
Clips of actresses exploding. We shared this
link earlier in the week and got accused of
misogyny, but we feel this work is largely comic
and critical of Hollywood tropes rather than
hating women. Also, explosions = funny!
http://explodingactresses.tumblr.com/

>> WWII Pictures shot with Kodachrome <<
The "old stuff in colour" trope seldom fails to
entertain. It works because of our delusion that
the past was more different than we think. Yet
if you could speak to someone in 1940, their
feet would have the same aches and their noses
the same itches.
http://bit.ly/UYn3GA

>> Facebook competition fail <<
Fine example of corporate schadenfreude - a
concept so enjoyable that we could probably
start a Tumblr called that and have, ooh, 100
followers within a week. Yay.
http://bit.ly/16BgGQo

>> Useless everyday objects <<
Photoshops executed with a deadpan sensibility.
Sinks with no plugs. Reminds us of old racist
Irish jokes from the 70s about rubbish
inventions. Which we won't share as it's no
longer the 1970s, etc.
http://www.giuseppecolarusso.it/chi_siamo.html

>> Robert Downey Jr pin-ups <<
Extraordinary, inexplicable, unexpectedly
arousing. All things we could say about these
peculiar photoshops.
http://bit.ly/19GzkIq

>> The 90s button <<
Push in David Hasselhoff's face to dispense a
steady stream of 1990s music video hits.
http://the90sbutton.com/

>> Is there any point to the 12 times table? <<
Mathematical examination of why it's basically
pointless bothering to learn the 12 times table.
With graphs!

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Social Media Meltdowns

Last week we asked if you'd ever said something
you regretted on the internet. A barrel of fish
meets a friendly shotgun here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/socialmediameltdowns/

* SYMPATHY - "My friend 'Rob' (which actually is
his name, I'm going for the double bluff)
suffered an unfortunate sequence of events that
led him to hint in a Facebook update that he was
going to kill himself. His girlfriend had left
him, his Crohn's was flaring like the sun, and,
worst of all, he was a Proper Ginga. Born that
way. The hints of suicide started about 2am,
grew steadily more blatant, and around 5am he
swallowed a mixture of massive and legal drugs,
and signed off with a quote. 'Goodbye, and
thanks for all the fish!' Amidst the worried
messages was this priceless gem: 'It's "So long,
and thanks for all the fish." Get it right.'"
(searlichek)

* PARANOIA - "I had someone ask me to remove a
picture I'd posted from a party once because you
could see their kid in the background. I thought
it was a bit weird but I obeyed. She then asked
me if I could make sure the photo had been
destroyed. I replied that they were being a bit
OTT and it was a digital photo anyway. She replied
and said, 'well send me the original digital
photo!' So I emailed it to her. Presumably she
deleted it..."
(SnowyTheRabbit)

* SPELIN - "I was in a LinkedIn group which was
otherwise worthy and businesslike except for one
contributor in Singapore. Most of her posts were
normal and to the point, but every once in a
while she'd her meds and start huge long caps-lock
rants about THE ARYANS! ARYANS! were monitoring
our actions, ARYANS! had superior technology,
ARYANS! were posing as human beings. This was a
bit much considering most of us in the group were
white middle-class Europeans. It took us a while
to realise that she was ranting rather phonetically
about ALIENS."
(Bootsthealchemist)

>> This Week - YUM! <<
Tell us / show us / send us the best thing
you've ever cooked or had cooked for you.
Even if it is a £10 burger.
http://b3ta.com/questions/foodporn/

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but you know, somehow on the web

>> Smooth Criminal <<
Turns out the eastern religions were right - to
redress his karmic imbalance, Michael Jackson
has been reincarnated as a kitten.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Smooth_Criminal:2

>> Dancing Optical Illusion <<
Your mind will be boggled. Prepare for the
boggling.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Dancing_Optical_Illusion

>> Richard Dawkins LSD extravaganza <<
From the YT description: "Evolutionary biologist
Richard Dawkins introduces the Saatchi & Saatchi
New Directors' Showcase 2013 in Cannes and
spreads his memes." He does indeed. the true
madness begins at 4:45.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/1022250

-------------------------------------------------

: USVSTH3M
The "other" project some B3tans are running

* Pound coin rude word challenge - We've just
noticed that if you line up the letters on the
edges of pound coins you can make it spell out
rude words. Result.
http://usvsth3m.com/post/54017748753/

* Morrissey reviewing singles in Smash Hits - In
1984 the editors of the legendary pop music
magazine invited Morrissey in to review the
singles. He did a fantastic job. Quotable,
bitchy and concise. It's like Morrissey invented
Twitter in the Eighties.
http://usvsth3m.com/post/54008306908/

* The Infinite Ed Miliband Slash Fiction
Generator. For reasons that are not entirely
clear even to us, we have made a website that
will generate explicit gay erotica about Labour
leader Ed Miliband. NSFW.

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange 7 Question Test

Strange 7 Question Test


1. A lady read a book, turned the light out and went to sleep. In the morning, when she saw in the newspaper that a ship had sunk drowning all on board, she committed suicide. Why?


2. A young man entered a bar and asked for a glass of water. The person behind the bar produced a gun and pointed it at the man. He replied, "Thank you," and walked off. Why?



3. Imagine you are driving a Mercedes at 100 mph. The steering locks. The doors lock. The brakes fail. You can't get out! You're heading for a 1,000 foot cliff! What do you do?



4. 2 + 2 + 5 = 247. Add one small line to make the sum correct.


5. Luke had it before. Paul had it behind. Ladies have it at the beginning, but only once. Abraham Lincoln had it twice. Boys cannot have it at all. Doctor Lowell had it before and behind. He actually had it twice as bad behind as he had it in front. What is it?


6. A man once broke all of the Ten Commandments. He lied, stole (the value of the article is irrelevant), lusted—which the Bible says is "to commit adultery in his heart," failed to love God above all else, failed to honor his parents, as well as to keep the Sabbath holy. He hated (which God sees as murder), failed to honor God's name, and he also "coveted," which means to want other people's things. How could God, who is perfect and holy (and therefore by His very nature must punish transgression of His Law), forgive him freely, and yet justice still be done? How can the man avoid Hell and go to Heaven?



7. A man on horseback went on a two day trip. He left on Tuesday and arrived home on Tuesday. How could this be?


Answers:


1. She was a lighthouse keeper.

2. He had the hiccups.

3. You stop "imagining."

4. Put a line on the first "+," from the top left, making it into a "4."

2 4 2 + 5 = 247


5. It is the letter "L."

6. The only way the man could avoid being found guilty on Judgment Day when all humanity gives "an account of every idle word," is to repent (turn from his sins) and put his faith in Jesus Christ. He will not do this if he doesn't see his danger. If he is deceived into thinking that God doesn't see his thought-life, or that God won't punish sin (meaning He has less sense of justice than humanity), then he will carry on in his sins. More than likely this will happen because he is ignorant of the fact that the Bible says the only way to enter Heaven is to have "clean hands and a pure heart." But if he is honest and listens to his conscience, he will see he has broken the Commandments, and when all the evidence comes out on Judgment Day, he will be found guilty and end up in Hell. He needs God's mercy. When Jesus died on the cross, He took the punishment for our sins, satisfying eternal justice and at the same time demonstrating God's incredible love for sinful humanity. The mom
ent the man repents and puts his faith in the Savior, God will forgive his sins and give him the gift of everlasting life. He then should read the Bible daily and obey what he reads, showing himself to be genuine in his faith. (He could also write to us for a free Gospel of John).

7. The name of the horse was "Tuesday."

STRANGE & COLORFUL THINGS THAT FLY

==================================

Strange "GOLF" Truisms:

The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

It's not a gimme if you're still away.

A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week.

If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse).

If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Oreo Personality Test



Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities. Choose which method best describes your favorite method of eating Oreos:

1. The whole thing all at once.
2. One bite at a time.
3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterwards.
4. In little feverous nibbles.
5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee...).
6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.
7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside.
9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.
10. I don't have a favorite way because I don't like Oreo.


Your Personality:

1. The whole thing. This means you consume life with abandon, you are fun to be with, exciting, carefree with some hint of recklessness. You are totally irresponsible. No one should trust you with their children.

2. One bite at a time. You are lucky to be one of the 5.4 billion other people who eat their Oreos this very same way. Just like them, you lack imagination, but that's okay, not to worry, you're normal.

3. Slow and methodical. You follow the rules. You're very tidy and orderly. You're very meticulous in every detail with every thing you do to the point of being anal retentive and irritating to others. Stay out of the fast lane if you're only going to go the speed limit.

4. Feverous nibbles. Your boss likes you because you get your work done quickly. You always have a million things to do and never enough time to do them. Mental breakdowns and suicides run in your family. Valium and Ritalin would do you good.

5. Dunked. Every one likes you because you are always up beat. You like to sugar coat unpleasant experiences and rationalize bad situations into good ones. You are in total denial about the shambles you call a life. You have a propensity towards narcotic addiction.

6. Twisted apart, the inside, and then the cookie. You have a highly curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how they work, though not always able to put them back together, so you destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement when things go wrong. You are a compulsive liar and exhibit deviant, if not criminal, behavior.

7. Twisted apart, the inside, and then toss the cookie. You are good at business and take risk that pay off. You take what you want and throw the rest away. You are greedy, selfish, mean, and lack feelings for others. You should be ashamed of yourself. But that's ok, you don't care, you got yours.

8. Just the cookie, not the inside. You enjoy pain.

9. I just like to lick them, not eat them. Stay away from small furry animals and seek professional medical help - immediately.

10. I don't have a favorite way, I don't like Oreo cookies. You probably come from a rich family, and like to wear nice things, and go to up-scale restaurants. You are particular and fussy about the things you buy, own, and wear. Things have to be just right. You like to be pampered. You are a prim. Nobody likes you.

Expensive cable / funny reviews

bsplendens84 writes, "Searching for network
backbone cabling I came across this Denon AKDL1
Dedicated Link Cable, for $400 on Amazon... with
what has to be the funniest review page to go
with it. With apparent features promising things
from locally solving global warming to a
spontaneous re-growth of lost limbs (assuming
you've followed the 'directional connection
indicators') I think it's quite a find. Mine's
already in the post."

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Other than making snot via hay-fever

>> Looking For Keegan <<
"Here's a sketch we made about Kevin Keegan."
beams SeldomDiffer. A young lad, coming of age,
seeks guidance from his footballing hero.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Looking_For_Keegan:2

>> The Garden Defender <<
"DO YOU HATE WASPS??" demands DefyingDarwin.
Amazing infomercial - we would buy one in a
second. NSFW sweary, if that's going to be a
problem.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/The_Garden_Defender:2

>> Rude Euphemism Thesaurus <<
What's the best rude term for penis? How about
for vagina? Sicktionary aims to provide the
definitive answers to these and similar
questions. Submit your own, judge which is best
in Battle Mode, look at graphs, listen to the
sat-nav voice guy try to talk dirty - Rob & Tom
Scott lavished a lot of love on this. Which is a
euphemism we're about to submit.

>> Nature Watch - Riding my Dolphin <<
"When TV biologists love their animals a little
too much..." begins BIG FACE, this sort of thing
is bound to happen.

-------------------------------------------------

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
School Assemblies

Personally, the worst assembly I ever attended
was the one that Margaret Thatcher turned up
to, but these have a lot more farting:
http://b3ta.com/questions/schoolassemblies/

* SHUDDER - "Our last assembly of school. The
teachers emerged from the fug of the staff room,
reeking of smoke, to do a 'gang show' of sorts.
It started amicably enough with one teacher
weaving as many surnames as possible into a
short story. Skip to the end. The grand finale.
Miss Wells. Horn-rimmed glasses, prim, proper,
fierce. Retiring with us, that year. The
headmistress no less. The lights dimmed. The
music started. *That* music. Often promising,
rarely portentous. But of course, context is
key. Dressed in chiffon and rose-coloured
taffeta with a feather boa to boot, she proceed
to gyrate in what we can only assume she thought
was an alluring manner. Layer one I can't
remember clearly, but layers two and three are
etched indelibly... a black negligee, the merest
suggestion of stockings and suspenders. Oh. My.
God. For the love of all things bright and
beautiful, please stop there. And then the
negligee came off. Really Miss Wells, what were
you thinking? That we were all biddy fiddlers?
Did you lose a bet? We will never know."
(Countryslicker)

* PARP - "At primary school, my friend George
was so shy that he would do almost anything to
avoid attention. Usually this was disastrous,
such as queuing up for gym class naked because
that was somehow preferable, in his mind, to
admitting that he'd forgotten his kit. Anyway.
My favourite memory was when, afraid to fart as
our genteel Scottish headmistress read a bible
story, he held it in until it literally whistled
out through clenched butt-cheeks with a sound
like a boiling kettle. He sat there still
cross-legged, visibly straining, with a face
like an angry Buddha. It was so weird that even
a large group of 5-9 year olds looked on in
stunned silence for a moment before collapsing
in giggles. George had to go and sit outside the
hall." (SnowyTheRabbit)

* OHP - "The overhead projector played a key
role in school assemblies. Responsibility for
the OHP was not offered lightly. It involved
replacing slides when asked, and also altering
the height of the projector if necessary by
adding or removing books to the pile on which it
rested. This took initiative. I was only trusted
with the task once. Red haired and prone to
allergies, an unexpected sneeze blasted strings
and blobs of bogies onto the machine, which were
then displayed to the hall three or four feet
high in glorious 80s technicolor." (browser)

>> This Week - Social Media Meltdowns <<
Ever said something you've regretted on the
internet? Know somebody who posts first and asks
questions later? Dob them in to us, the internet
police.
http://b3ta.com/questions/socialmediameltdowns/

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Educational toy or sex toy? <<
A strange device for children with sensory
difficulties to chew instead of the tops of
pens. 'T' shaped so they don't swallow. The
shaft diameter is 15mm. Which is,
co-incidentally, the diameter of the average
penis.
http://bit.ly/11rkovM

>> Finally, someone won Facebook! <<
We're all free to leave!
http://bit.ly/1bZsuwR

>> Cloud storage. <<
Looks dead handy.
http://prism.andrevv.com/

>> Gallery of guys with imaginary girlfriends <<
Not only are they entirely not sad, they're very
slick with Photoshop too. Our tip to young men
without lady interest? Cover yourself in Lynx
deodorant - ladies love it.
http://bit.ly/11ZRZMZ

>> Council communication of the year <<
Won by Bristol City Council. Go them.
http://i.imgur.com/r4HzPMk.jpg

>> One woman's struggle to re-use a cake tin <<
She tries so hard. But it's shaped like a cock.
http://bit.ly/12GMo1l

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but with a spunk-flecked screen

>> 7 seconds that'll make you laugh <<
This is still going round our head an hour
later. Watch it twice, nay watch it four times
and you'll still have time to boil an egg.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Who_you_gonna_call:2

>> 9 secs that'll make you laugh slightly less <<
Hopefully this is a new trend - short and funny,
it certainly makes consuming web comedy less
tiresome. (Yes we know about those 5 second
video guys, don't send it in, they've got a
movie deal now.)
http://www.b3ta.com/links/House_Painting

>> BBC Radio Four in a nutshell <<
If it wasn't for the relentless coverage of the
Royals, religion and the weather at sea we doubt
we'd be that aware of them.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/BBC_Radio_Four_in_a_nutshell

>> How to uninstall McAfee antivirus <<
Presented by John McAfee himself - we're unsure
what to make of this. Hero? Twat? Both
simultaneously? Also, hopefully marking a trend
in antivirus software people losing the plot.
Looking forward to the Norton Utilities guy
telling us about his tiger blood.

STRANGE & COLORFUL THINGS THAT FLY

==================================

Strange Business Leadership Quotes:

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. - Peter F. Drucker

Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results. - George S. Patton

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. - Dwight Eisenhower

A leader is a dealer in hope. - Napoleon Bonaparte

The leadership instinct you are born with is the backbone. You develop the funny bone and the wishbone that go with it. - Elaine Agather

Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men -- the other 999 follow women. - Groucho Marx

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet. - Theodore M. Hesburgh

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange Rules of a Gun Fight

Official Rules of a Gun Fight

1. Bring a good gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a rifle and several friends with more rifles.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading or running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should literally have to beat you to death with it because it is empty. (This rule RULES!)

11. Always cheat to win. It's a gunfight, dammit!

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible, and know the difference between the two.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don't drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them!)

19. Decide to be aggressive, and be aggressive FAST!

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less you will get shot.

Fathers Day Quotes:

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys." ~Harmon Killebrew

A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again. ~Enid Bagnold

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! ~Lydia M. Child, Philothea: A Romance, 1836

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons. ~Johann Schiller

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. ~Author unknown, commonly attributed to Mark Twain but no evidence has yet been found for this (Thanks, Garson O'Toole!)

Dad, you're someone to look up to no matter how tall I've grown. ~Author Unknown

The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!
~Author Unknown

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Wise Advice From Seniors About Raising Miserable Children - (That's YOU!)

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you chuckle. Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve and the first thing He said was "DON'T!"

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve. We have forbidden fruit!!!!!"

"No Way !"

"Yes way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.

"Why"

"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was angry! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you?" said the Father.

"I don't know," said Eve.

"She started it!" Adam said

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed

BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY! If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.

6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

AND FINALLY:

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE: "TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!
