The Guild 4-12-2003 Hair Spray Saves the Day!

A man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying all over the place. Candy, too.

The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see that the colorful little Bunny was dead. The driver felt guilty and began to cry.

A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and killed it. There may not be an Easter because of me. What should I do?"

The woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead Bunny, and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the poor little bunny.

Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped on down the road. Fifty yards away the Easter Bunny stopped, turned round, waved and hopped on down the road another 50 yards turned, waved, hopped another 50 yards and waved again!!!!

The man was astonished. He said to the woman, "What in heaven’s name is in your spray can? What was it that you sprayed on the Easter Bunny?"

The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."

More on the Neil and Sharon Bush divorce, from WashPost:

When it comes to Bush v. Bush, it's all over but the sniping.

Late Wednesday night -- after 12 hours of negotiations in their fractious divorce case -- presidential sibling Neil Bush and his wife of 23 years, Sharon Bush, reached what Neil's Houston attorney, Rick Flowers, described as "an amicable, irrevocable mediated settlement agreement."

But Sharon's attorney, David Brown, complained that Neil's "adultery" with Houston mother of three Maria Andrews -- the 40-year-old ex-wife of oilman Robert Andrews and a volunteer in former first lady Barbara Bush's Foundation for Family Literacy -- couldn't be considered under Texas divorce law.

"He acknowledged that his girlfriend was working for his mama," said Brown, adding that the Bush family sided with Neil, not his client. "I want to tell you something: If I was gonna be cheating on my wife, my mama would be having a stern talking-to with me. And the family wouldn't have been behind the woman I was cheating with. . . . That's just outrageous."

Brown declined to characterize his client's reaction to the settlement -- which Flowers described as "fair and generous" and "more" than the $1,000 a month that Sharon claimed Neil, a software entrepreneur, had initially offered. Flowers disputed that figure, and Sharon didn't respond to our detailed message left at her Houston home.

But she apparently still plans to write her memoir of life among the Bushes. Los Angeles publisher Michael Viner, president of New Millennium Entertainment -- which released the audio version of Michael Moore's best-selling anti-Bush screed, "Stupid White Men" -- told us that he and Sharon are ready to sign a six-figure deal for a book tentatively titled "Family First."

"It's not going to be a tell-all book," Viner insisted, adding that "as-told-to" writer Julie McCarron has agreed to work on the project. "Hopefully, it will be a more upscale book."

Divorce attorney Brown said: "What I suspect would sell the best is a story about life in America's current royal family from someone who has been a part of that family for 23 years. . . . I think you tell the bitter with the sweet. If Barbara Bush is sitting in flip-flop sandals chain-smoking on the porch at Kennebunkport -- and I'm not suggesting she did that -- then that's what you write."

When the New York Observer revealed Sharon Bush's literary aspirations Wednesday as the divorce settlement talks were underway, the book -- and how much family dirt it might contain -- were widely seen as her negotiating leverage.

"She has learned to do business Bush-style," said Washington author Kitty Kelley, who is at work on an exposé of President Bush and his family, and recently spent two days in New York with Sharon. "She picked up a lot sitting around the family breakfast table."

Maybe right about this time, those years ago, Joseph was doing his good work.

Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God: this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body. He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid. It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid. They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
