Meeting A Real VIP

Thursday evening my 3 sisters and I met in the parking lot of the Federal Court Building to tailgate for the Clemson-Temple game. We met federal judges, US Marshalls, Probation guys, but I alone met the ultimate VIP.

A very nice and jovial woman in her 60's explained she and her husband had lived in Charlotte for a number of years, It had been too long since their last vist, and he could work the game.

"Work the game?Referee, concessions, souvineers?"

"Well," she said, "he's here to scout 6 Clemson players."

So he's an NFL scout!

"My husband is Bill Polian, President of the Indianopolis Colts."

She was great, getting tired of the politics, talk shows, and the time it takes away from her family. Their son is the special teams coach for Notre Dame.

Why Are Drunk People More Believable ?

Why is it we don't believe a sober Mel Gibson when he says he doesn't hate Jews, but are convinced he must be telling the truth when he is smashed?

The theory doen't simply apply to Mel or even drunkeness. Many feel a person's true belief's are revealed under duress. Nevertheless, alcohol is now considered a truth drug.

Urban myth?

Is A Priest Smarter Than A Rabbi?

For that matter, are Catholic priests- in general- smarter than all other Christian ministers?
I happen to think there is a kernel of real truth behind the genious of Seinfeld, who devoted a segment to the theory that forced celibacy makes men smarter. Not that priests are physically forced into celibacy, they are not. No- those guys, with few exceptions, deny their sexual desires in order that they might gain a deeper relationship with God.

Maybe its not just the sex? Humility may be another clue. Humility and genious are a powerful combination. The 2 or 3 Rabii's I've talked with were kind and certainly smart, but definitely not humble. And I can say without reservation that most of the many protestant ministers I have met are always reminding folks they know Greek and Hebrew-and we don't. I have noticed a certain humility in the few priests I've met.

• So does celibacy make priests smarter?
• Is celibacy the reason Nuns are mean?

Why Are Women Obsessed With Wedding Cake

Its been a fairly busy summer of weddings. By far the most talked about subject- this will come as no surprise to men who like to leave receptions quickly- is the wedding cake. You can't leave the reception until the cake is served.

1. Why are women obsessed with wedding cake?
2. Why is the cake portion of most wedding cakes light and never chocolate?
3. Do all gay men love wedding cake, or just the more effeminate ones?
4. Do all lesbians love wedding cake, or just the more feminine girls?
5. If you are a man who just can't leave before you eat a piece of cake, are you gay- or just a traitor to your sex?
6. Have you ever (dared to) insisted that you and your wife leave before the cake is served?

If the answer to the above is yes, how long was it before she prepared a warm meal again?
If yes, did you have sex between that wedding and the next?
If yes, how do you get out of picnics?
