A cause I don't want to get behind... or downwind from!

I was driving to work this morning and pulled up behind a truck that had one of those magnetic ribbon support things. No offense to any of you who put these on your cars. I personally chose not to. In fact you will never see a bumper sticker or dealership license plate holder on any of my vehicles. I guess I am just not into car graffiti. Anyway this magnet I saw this morning was probably the strangest one I have ever seen. It said, "Support Farting"! Really????? Is that a cause that needs to be supported?????? Are global warming alarmists causing people to put aside their own personal CO2 emissions? Maybe this REALLY is a serious problem! Have we been blinded by good manners this whole time??? I say maybe we should all take a stand here! Just make sure I'm not around when you do!

Yeah Seminary!

This is an article that was in the Orange County Register about early morning seminary. My old bishop is quoted in it.

Mission Viejo students take religious classes before school Mormon high school students take early morning religious classes before school.

Julia Knecht sets several alarm clocks before she goes to bed.

The 17-year-old wants to make sure she gets up in time for seminary class at 5:30 in the morning.

Knecht is among 200 high school students in south Orange County who attend religious classes every morning before school at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The program is run by the Church Educational System. Mormon students are enrolled from their freshman through senior year.

"I get a good feeling starting out my day here," said Knecht, a senior at Capistrano Valley High School. "If I ever miss a class I feel different; a little emptier."

The students are taught four, one-year courses on the Old and New Testament, Book of Mormon and church history. The teens are commended on their dedication to the program and their time management skills, said Kip Sheppard, seminary supervisor for the Mission Viejo LDS church.

"I admire them for getting out of bed so early every morning," Sheppard said. "I was 15 once. I remember those days."

It seems as though more students want to be a part of the early-morning ritual. Sheppard has seen enrollment for the Mission Viejo classes increase by about 40 percent over the past four years. There are almost 4,000 students across Orange County who are now enrolled in the religious program.

Seminary classes are held in Mission Viejo at an LDS church on Marguerite Parkway and one on Los Alisos Boulevard. The 12 teachers who instruct the classes are asked by the church to volunteer their time.

"Teaching these classes is one of the most difficult assignments in the church," said Greg Briggs, former seminary supervisor. "It's a tremendous amount of work and sacrifice. We love those that can connect with the youth."

Some students plan on taking what they're learning to teach others. Dallin Chambers, a senior in the program, wants to go on a mission when he graduates.

"It's (seminary) another thing you can say that you accomplished for four years of your life," Chambers said. "At 19 years old we can go and teach the gospel. Seminary is preparing me for that."

Campers can be very luxurious.... I don't see a problem here.

Please take another look... this is not the back of a truck... its the back of a car!

I am not sure if this one is real or not but if its not this is too risky guys.

Idiot Experiences Of Others

IDIOT SIGHTING: Hubby and I had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a large enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2
horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two."

We haven't used Sears repair since.

IDIOT SIGHTING: I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's
why we ask."

Happened in Birmingham , Ala.

IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its safe to cross the street. I was crossing with a co-worker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earthare blind people doing driving?!"

She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS

IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for a dear coworker: She was leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

This was at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver9s side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "Its open!"

His reply, "I know - I already got that side."

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!
