On a lighter side here are some things that wise people like me like to ponder:
1. Why is there a best before date on Sour Cream?
2. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all"?
3. Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
4. If a cow laughed, would milk

What was our trust, we trust not;
What was our faith, we doubt.
Whether we must or must not,
We may debate about.

And wrong is a
