asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike
and asked for forgiveness.<BR>Whenever I fill out an application, in the part
that says "If an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR". <BR>Why does someone
believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say
the paint is wet? <BR>Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for
president and 50 for Miss America ? <BR>Going to church doesn't make you a
Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. <BR>Light travels
faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them
speak. </DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
