                    Disaster struck me one day when I was a boy. I don’t know where in the world my little sister came back to the house real dirty and smelly.

                    Two men were talking one day when a church lady came walking up the road.  One turned to the other and said, “That’s sister Brown.  She has nothing bad to say about anyone.”
