Sorry, I can't resist. A Notre Dame football player went to confession one Sunday afternoon. The Father was known for his forgetfulness. To correct the problem, he made a chalk mark on his sleeve for every infraction.
The football player began: 'Father, when I tackled a running back yesterday, when he was down, I stuck my finger in his eye and pushed as hard as a could. Father: 'That was very bad' [1 mark] Player: 'He had to come out of the game and was unable to return until the next quarter.' Father: 'My son, you have sinned' [another mark] Player: 'I will not do it again'. Father [to show interest]: 'What team were you playing? Player: 'SMU' Father [brushing the chalk off his sleeve]: 'Son, you are forgiven' [plagiarizer - Bill Ward] On Tue, 17 Sep 2002 22:59:21 -0400 "Brad McCormick, Ed.D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: To state what should > be obvious: one can write on a blank slate with > chalk, but one cannot use it as an abacus for > arithmetical operations. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
