The George Burns quote is perfect and would apply to all the sermons I ever heard. That is to say I never heard a real sermon except those my mother delivered to me and I was in the front row seat.

They were all funny. But I have to agree with Phyllis Diller. "Everything has done fallen, worn out and I'm spread everywhere."

Please, honey, don't say to much about how I got you pregnant on the Abe's Town blog. People will think we went to sleep like that and woke up like that. Or did we?

These are all great, Patty. I especially liked the one by Will Rogers about slowing down the aging process, and the one by Churchil about avoiding temptation. lol. And did Jimmy Carter's mother really say that? lol.

Good night!
