EXCELLENT. Thanks! :)

Everybody knows that puns are the lowest form of humor. Nothing like 'em to bring out the inner child (and to eviscerate the wise).

The exalted will be humbled and the humble will be exalted:

Luke 18

15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.

If the King James is good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!

Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end.

After all, the Kingdom of God *is* the Kingdom of Good. It's the simple meaning. :)

Today’s word is.................fluctuations.
I was at my bank today; there was a short line.
There was just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady who was
trying to exchange yen for dollars. It was obvious she was a little irritated.
She asked the teller, “Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen.
Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?”
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, “Fluctuations.”
The Asian lady says, “Fluc you white people, too.”
