WADS OF FUN

What is the eeriest silence you ever heard? A friend of mine experienced a true Twilight Zone silence the other day.

She and her fine, upstanding, middle-aged girlfriend ran into a public restroom at a large community event. It was pretty crowded, but they went into stalls side by side.

She decided to play a little trick on her friend. So she concentrated on balling up the hugest wad of toilet paper that she possibly could. I mean, it was voluminous – your tax dollars at work, but oh, well, just this once. . . .

Then she threw her giant wad merrily over the stall divider, hoping that her aim was good enough to bonk her friend right on the head.

That’s when the eerie, Twilight Zone-style silence oozed from that stall.

Puzzled, she looked down to the floor, and realized that her friend had been wearing white Nikes . . . but all she could see in the next stall that she had just bombed were a couple of rather irritated looking brown leather Borns.

Epigram: Know wad you’re doing.

Prayer request: A young friend of a friend, Steven Weber, is leaving for the Marines this week in preparation for infantry action in Iraq. This outstanding St. Louis University scholar wants to go into politics as a career, but felt it was important that he gain military experience first. He calls it a “must” for those who would make policy and laws for the rest of us. Lord, protect this fine young man and let him see what You would have him see, to make him fit for leadership just as You are about to make him fit for war. (Deuteronomy 3:18)
