Did you know that not only was Forrest Gump a football hero at the University of Alabama, but he was also Valedictorian of his senior class.


Don't forget that he was also a Vietnam War hero, a successful shrimp boat owner, a "runner" that footsteped across the country for 3 years while growing a robust beard, and an international ping-pong champ. We're taking up pennies from the local school kids so that we can cast a statuette of him. It will hang prominently from the power line that crosses Main Street for all to see.

Please understand that I am not trying to take anything from the accomplishments of the great individual, I was only complementing on the mentality of the average UA student.

I will admit that the student body showed great restraint when they were no longer permitted to do a Christmas play on campus. There were rumors going around that the ACLU had stopped it because of the religious issues. However, those of us in the know, knew it was because they couldn't find three wise men or a virgin on the campus.
