 >>> Clarence Hogan on Circular Argument 
 
 WE> Oh?   In his own memoirs he accounts some of his lapses
 WE> from his own commandments. 
 CH> Not hardly, ya' probably need to read the whole thingy!  :)
 WE> The guy had deadly temper tantrums.  Sodom and Gomorrah for example.
 Well, He said that He was a jealous Eloah, did He not?  And besides
 since He is eventually going to eliminate all the evil in the Universe
 anyway, was it not better that He do a hand full then in order to set
 an example for the billions to come and thereby save more than might
 otherwise been saved?
 CH> Well, the Garden of Eden was meant to be Heaven for man, but he
 CH> wasn't satisfied with letting well enough alone, right?
 
 WE> So goes the myth in which, as I recall, he sneaks in a blond booby
 WE> trap. 
 
 Hummmmm, where do we read of this blond?
 WE> The old steamboat captain sure has a knack for blowing off steam when
 WE> he toots his whistle. -) 
 
 CH> Yup, sure did, just like a little kid!  :)
 
 WE> A humorist sure can play with you mind.
 
 What else is fun to play with that will last?
 WE> Good idea.  Let me know what you find.  
 
 CH> Might be a day or three, but will do!  :)
 
 WE> Leaping lizards! -)
 
 Well, horny toad frogs Robin!  :)
 WE> Hm, I wonder if he's included
 WE> in our 100 year old Encyclopedic Britannica.  
 
 CH> That I don't know!
 
 WE> Bug my bonnet and I'll let you know.
 
 How about me puttin a mad bee in there?
 WE> Where's Florida, Mo., his birthplace?  
 WE> And the lively river town Hannibal, his boyhood town, where be that?
 
 CH> Hummmm, if memory serves, isn't there a Hannibal, MO?  It seems that
 CH> dad spoke of Hannibal, MO, where he lived at one time while building
 CH> a bridge or dam one!  I may have pictures of it that he had when he
 CH> died and left to me and boy are they old!
 
 WE> Indeed, he's born and raised in MO.  Any way, he is a neighbor of
 WE> yours. 
 
 Yup, tiz so I reckon!
 CH> Just another humble servant of The Kingdom
 
 WE> The three stooges, also know as the three wise guys:
 WE> Kingdumb who wore no clothes.
 WE> Freedumb who never paid for his stupidity.
 WE> Boredumb who'd bore you like a drill sergeant.
 HEY, watch it, I usta' was a Drill Sergeant!   :)
 WE> ... Freedumb:  the right to be dumb without paying the costs.
 
 Ya' only get ONE FREE chance, so ya' had better use it while ya'
 got it!  :)
 
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
