Smiley: A simple matter of
priorities
Perry Rose, of Denham Springs, says, "I attended
an afternoon wedding a few Saturdays ago. Other guests were sitting quietly,
some were looking down, as the minister read the vows. When he got to the
'Speak now or forever hold your peace…' several guests jumped up, arms raised,
and yelled, 'Yesss!' The poor minister almost fainted, the bride whipped around
staring daggers at the offenders, and the groom rolled his eyes up almost out
of sight. The offenders then realized what they had done, and one explained,
holding up his cell phone, that Burrow had passed for the first touchdown of
the SEC championship game in Georgia.”

Reports of gold found inside birds or grazing animals are
legion. “A Goose Klondike,” The Daily
Colonist (Victoria, BC, Canada), 29 December 1900, p. 2. “Capt. DeBeck…bought
a wild goose…and on the bird being dressed, the crop, when opened, was found to
contain…an appreciable number of grains of coarse gold….The geese were shot at
Pitt Lake, and that is where the gravel bearing the gold no doubt comes from.”
