Jane was a typical four-year-old
girl -- cute, inquisitive, bright as a new penny. When she expressed
difficulty in grasping the concept of marriage, her father decided to
pull out his wedding photo album, thinking visual images would help.
One page after another, he pointed out the bride arriving at the
church, the entrance, the wedding ceremony, the recessional, the
reception, etc.
"Now do you understand?" he asked.
"I think so," she said, "is that when mommy came to work for us?"

Important! All Parents & Kids Should Know.
There
is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that all need
to be aware of. There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks
like strawberry pop rocks. It smells like strawberry also and it is
being handed out to kids in school yards in AR. I'm sure it will make
its way around the country if it hasn't already. Kids are ingesting

Internal Revenue Service is warning taxpayers and businesses of two new
and potentially devastating e-mail scams that could silently take over
their computer hard drives. The e-mails contain official-looking IRS
logos and information, falsely notifying the reader of IRS action

criminal investigation division, telling the readers they are under tax
investigation in connection with the California Tax Franchise Board.
The other e-mail falsely notifies the readers that a complaint has been
lodged against them. Recipients of such e-mails are encouraged to
forward them to the IRS at phishing@IRS.gov.

dissertations. Here's how to compress your speech without losing
impact.
Don't apologize or mention that you usually have much more time. Be confident that you can communicate in five minutes.
