The value of an education in Arkansas

It looks like the U of A is truly concerned about giving us an all-around education. In what appears to be an opportunity to explore all career paths, the big sign in the student union reads:

"See what it is like to be homeless. Come learn how to build a cardboard house!"

I suppose if law doesn't work out, there's always...

Don't laugh now...

You know how you think of something really funny, and can't wait to tell someone, but then you get busy and figure you'll do it later, only when later happens, you've forgotten what that funny was?

I had a good one to share with you. It was really going to be funny. Just ask my wife. She probably won't know what you're talking about, but she helped me think of it, and we both got a good laugh. I even said, "I'm going to use that in my blog." And she laughed again because it was so funny. Then I said something else that was funny, and we laughed. And then, in between laughs, she said something else that was even funnier. That sent us rolling. And then we didn't say anything funny for a while, because we couldn't stop laughing. I think we laughed for quite a while.

Then I slept. And now I can't think of it to save my life. And still, as I think upon how funny it was, I have to smile just a little, and chuckle at how funny it was going to be. I am sure that you would have really appreciated it, too.

Now I'm not sure which is funnier: what I was going to tell you, or that I forgot what I was going to tell you that was going to make you really laugh.

Maybe at some point in your day, for no apparent reason, you will smile just a little, and maybe even have to suppress a slight chuckle. And you won't really know why, only that there was something really funny that you have forgotten about, but you remember how funny it was to laugh about.

Well, go ahead and laugh now... and I'll supply the funny later.
