A "Strange" Lawyer Tale

A lawyer named Strange died, and his friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribe on his tombstone, "Here lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer."

The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would be confusing, for passersby would tend to think that three men were buried under the stone. However he suggested an alternative: He would inscribe, "Here lies a man who was both honest and a lawyer."

"That way, whenever anyone walked by the tombstone and read it, they would be certain to remark: "That's Strange".

Received from Shannon H. Williams.

*ADVERSITY* - or ("Can we at least get a badge for this?")

Some boy scouts from the big city were on a camping trip for the first time.

The mosquitoes were so fierce, the boys had to hide under their blankets to avoid being bitten.

Then one of them saw some lightening bugs and said to his friend, "We might as well give up, now they're coming after us with flashlights!"

A Riddle

What one word does the following describe:

It's greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
Rich people need it,
Poor people have it,
And if you eat it, you will die.

FACT: 80% of the Kindergartners polled got it, only 17% of the Stanford Grads polled got it.
