Joke of the Week: A minister complained to St. Peter after entering the kingdom of heaven that a taxi driver had received a higher place than he had. Well, explained St. Peter when you gave your sermon some people fell asleep, but when the same people rode in his cab, they did nothing but pray. Saying of the week on mo- tivation: It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to. Sandra Anice Barnes ~ SE ee | ] i :
