For those of you who just thought you knew everything, here's a refresher course...... Then you will know everything!!! The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for blood plasma. No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven (7) times. Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty (50) years of age or older. The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum. The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class. Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. So did the first "Marlboro Man." Walt Disney was afraid of mice. Pearls melt in vinegar. The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order. It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first U.S. president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal." The second? William Jefferson Clinton. (Please don't tell me you're SURPRISED!?!!) And the best for last..... Turtles can breathe through their butts. Now you know everything there is to know.

No problem. The economy will roar once the yoke of regulations are lifted and the free market engine will throw off money like a lotto winner in a whore house. Meanwhile our lungs will burn while we breathe the benefits of the "Cleaner air act", and boil the water from the "Cleaner water act", and warm our hands by the burning rivers until global warming really gets in gear and winter will be abolished. Which will eliminate the need for heating and end our reliance on foreign oil and peace will reign. Amen. jb
