Iowa is probably where some of those 260 pounds you're carrying came from.

Of course, some may still object that I have not verified
for myself, but life is short.....


A wonderful topic of after dinner conversation. How often do you talk about things (like the existence of WWII) that you have not personallay verified, but have verified only through the reports of others, both written and artistic (including photographic)?

I was born during the war, but frankly I don't have personal verification that it ever happened.

Indeed, do you have personal verification that New York really exists, outside those dreams you have had of going there? Very real seeming dreams, I'm sure.

If you need more proof that Ames does exist, and that it is a wonderful place, here it is:

Warn your hubby that after lovemaking in Ames, Iowa, he isn't allowed
to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with you -- or
holding you in his arms.

Now THAT is a great law.

NEVER trust authority.

I can trust authority again.
