25 Cents A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents." Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!

>>they have high GPA's<< Back in our days, that meant, like, 3.5, 3.8. If that's all a kid could show now the colleges would just send a form letter. They want to see at least 4.5 (from advance placement and other fancy schedules), plus tons of extra-curricular activity and community service. So congratulations are indeed in order, because your teenagers didn't find their motivation just from within themselves, Dad. And you are right about the private money--that's why for qualified students it is sometimes cheaper to go to a prestige private school than the state university!

It's just fine to brag on them, Tom. And in my experience college bureaucracies are very much like government ones. Much more focused on their forms than on the goal of the form.

ROTFLMAO Tom, shame on you, you naughty boy! Cat will do great, I'm sure.

Tom, you dog... although you may be right, too. But she is a really good speaker, at least in conversation and, of course, on this board. Just don't cross her - she's armed and a really good shot.

Just forget the clothes. They will pay way more attention to your talk if you leave them at home ;o) Now...where are you speaking tonight? Tom Hollister, CA
