Chemistry
Test
One
year, at Duke, there were these two guys who were taking Chemistry and
who did pretty well on all of the quizzes and the midterms and labs,
etc.,
such that going into the final they had a solid A. These two friends
were
so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals week
(even
though the Chemistry final was on Monday), they decided to go up to
UVirginia
and party with some friends up there. So they did this and had a great
time.
However,
with their hangovers and everything, they overslept all day Sunday and
didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than
taking
the final then, what they did was to find Professor Bonk after the
final
and explain to him why they missed the final.
They
told him that they went up to UV for the weekend, and had planned to
come
back in time to study, but that they had a flat tire on the way back
and
didn't have a spare and couldn't get help for a long time and so were
late
getting back to campus.
Bonk
thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final on
the following day. The two guys were elated and relieved. So, they
studied
that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told
them.
He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet
and told them to begin. They looked at the first problem, which was
something
simple about molarity and solutions and was worth 5
points.
"Cool"
they thought, "this is going to be easy." They did that problem
and
then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw
on the next page.
It
said: - 95 points -
Which tire?

Our Kids Comment
on Marriage
.
HOW
DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
"You
got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like if you like
sports,
she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips
and dip coming."
Alan,
age 10
.
"No
person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry.
God
decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who
you're
stuck with."
Kristen,
age 10
.
WHAT
IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
"Twenty-three
is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then."
Camille,
age 10
"No
age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married."
Freddie,
age 6
***
This kid is the next Einstein...
HOW
CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO
PEOPLE
ARE MARRIED?
"Married
people usually look happy to talk to other people."
Eddie,
age 6
"You
might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the
same
kids."
Derrick,
age 8
WHAT
DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD
HAVE IN COMMON?
"Both
don't want no more kids."
Lori,
age 8
WHAT
DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
"Dates
are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each
other.
Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough."
Lynnette,
age 8
"On
the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets
them
interested enough to go for a second date."
Martin,
age 10
WHAT
WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
"I''d
run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers
and
make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns."
Craig,
age 9
WHEN
IS IT OK TO KISS SOMEONE?
"When
they're rich."
Pam,
age 7
"The
law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that."
Curt,
age 7
"The
rule goes like this: if you kiss someone, then you should marry them
and
have kids with them. It's the right thing to do."
Howard,
age 8
IS
IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
"I
don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm
never
going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed
out."
Theodore,
age 8
"It's
better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone
to clean up after them."
Anita,
age 9
"Single
is better, for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to change no
diapers.
Of course, if I did get married, I'd just phone my mother and have her
come over for some coffee and diaper-changing."
Kristen,
age 10
HOW
WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF
PEOPLE
DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
"There
sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?"
Kelvin,
age 8
"You
can be sure of one thing - the boys would come chasing after us just
the
same as they do now."
Roberta,
age 7
HOW
WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
"If
you want to last with your man, you should wear a lot of sexy clothes,
especially underwear that is red and maybe has a few diamonds on it."
Lori,
age 8
***
Lori has a good attitude.
"Tell
your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck."

Children
at Church
A little
boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he
would
take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between
bride's
side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his
hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step,
ROAR all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd
was
near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The
little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the
laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the
pulpit.
When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being
the Ring Bear."
* * *
A little
boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at
the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell out of the
Bible,
and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a
tree that had been pressed in between the pages. "Momma, look what I
found,"
the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think it's
Adam's suit!"
* * *
The
preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he
moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went.
Then
he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping
before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl
in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets
loose,
will he hurt us?"
* * *
Six-year-old
Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in
church.
Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister
had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." -
"Why?
Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the
church
and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're
hushers."
