 "I'm really not wealthy, and I don't have a yacht and a convertible
like Warren Wilson," apologized the young man. "But, baby I love you."
 "And I love you, too" replied the girl.  "But tell me more about
Warren."

For football season I feel like putting in some football stories.
 In a wrongheaded attempt to add color to the game, the World Football
League in 1975 approved uniforms that would have made teams look like fruit
salads.  For the exibition season, they decided to try color-coded pants. The
idea was to help identify various player positions. Apparently the WFL didn't
think much of its fans' intelligence.  In the test, pants of different colors
would designate the positions of the players.  Purple for offensive linemen,
green for running backs, blue for defensive linesmen, red for linebackers,
yellow for deep backs, and white with color stars down the leg for quarterbacks.
When the fancy pants arrived for the Memphis Grizzlies, the players showed good
taste.  They refused to wear them.  Larry Csonka simply threw the offending
garment to the floor.  He sneered,"Sure, and the coaches are going to wear
shocking pink suits with high heels and those little lace caps they like so
much."  After the players informed the league they would not dress up like
bananas, kumquats, and prunes, the league decided to toss the uniforms.

 In the playing of roulette at Monte Carlo during January, 1910, the red
won 27 times in succession. The odds are 68,801,864 to 1.

Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg said:
 "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here"

 There is a stream in South America that runs both ways.  It is called
the Cassiquiare Canal and it is a natural waterway which, varying in the rain,
flows into the Orinoco Basin and now into the Amazon.  At the flood tide of the
Amazon it flows into the Orinico, while at the flood tide of the Orinico it
flows into the Amazon.

 There is a man in Los Angeles with the name:
  LLEIEUSSZUIEUSSZESSZES
  WILLIHIMINIZISTEIZZII
  HURRIZZISSTEIZZII

 Grave of Prince Frederic
 "Here lies Fred- who was alive and now is dead
  There is no more to be said"

A seal sleeps at intervals of 1 and 1/2 minutes.

     'Til next time,
      A Rivederci.
