Well, even with all the moral uplift...it's good to have a humor break
from all the threads on "The Passion".

Now here's a thread with potential, "...problem beavers...criminal beavers...federal beaver management program...Warren County, which is overrun with beavers...", such an embarrassment of riches to work with!

"Newell said beavers build dams because they

"All beavers are not a problem. Some of them do good things. Some of them don't...

Saw a film about that in basic training.
