I've been really impressed with the guy who cleans toilets in our building. He has a real can do attitude.

Apparently, one in five people in the world is Chinese, and they are five people in my family, so it must be one of them.

It's either my mom or my dad.
Or my older brother Colin.
Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu.

But I think it's Colin.

This can only end up bad! I mean, who in the world thinks that a bishop is even closely a good marriage counselor?

My first sex education class was taught by a priest! :oldlaugh: Even then I knew that didn't make sense.

What that doesn't tell you is how many people drank from their batteries 50 years ago. Have you seen any 50 year old batteries that still have acid in them?

Hmm,... it took me a while to understand why that's a joke.

About 30 years ago I managed to borrow a human-sized, primitive robot that had been used for a police, drug education program. It was propelled; had movable arms and a head that turned. It had a sound system as well as a video system that allowed me to see what the robot sees. This was all secretly remote controlled. I refurbished it and used it for a Cub Scout summer space camp. And it was an amazing thing to watch. Morgon the Vorgon came to life. Some kids would even run up and hug him and tell him they loved him. So much fun!

Finally the camp ended and Morgon was loaded up standing in the back of my truck. I tied off ropes to stabilize him. And soon I found my self driving slowly down Main Street with Morgon. So I grabbed the audio and switch it onto high volume. Morgon's head began turning side to side in a panic as he cried out "Help! Help! I'm being abducted!"

I could see people on the sidewalks bursting into laughter.

An interesting note: That same week, President Clinton announced that we had found evidence for primitive life on Mars. Morgon the Vorgon made the announcement. So that would have been 1996. Hard to imagine those kids would all be around 35-38 now. :))
