ISSUE # 6
I hope everyone is doing well. As of today there is only
35 days left until the July boards, so I want to wish everyone
luck and happy studying. For those of us who have already
taken, and passed the boards...we can really appreciate how
far we have come, eh?
On a side note, I started my first day at work on Thursday,
June 6th! Good luck to everyone else starting new jobs!

"He who asks a question may be a fool for five minutes,
but he who never asks a question remains a fool forever."
~ Tom Connelly
==============================================
Our local minister had all of his remaining teeth pulled and
new dentures made a few weeks ago. The first Sunday, his sermon
lasted 10 minutes. The second Sunday, he preached only 20
minutes. But, on the third Sunday, he preached for an hour
and a half.
I asked him about this. He then told me, "Well, John,
that first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk. The
second Sunday, my dentures were still hurting a lot. Now the
third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures AND
I COULDN'T STOP TALKING!"
