Alex,

In the mid-1950s, there used to be eight dolphins. Then the counting method changed.

Dear Cantor,

Frankly, when you told djs that the way to count is "1,2,3,4 etc." - I still can't keep a straight face at work about it.

The Tories lost the election here in Ontario on Thursday.

They could have used someone from your Church with unique counting methods during the vote tally . . .

20-20 vision in hindsight and all that . . .

The klobuk is a good idea. But should the cow (with klobuk) not be wearing a beard? Incognitus

Dear Incognitus,

There's probably no "beard rule" in the cow's canonical handbook "The Udder."

Dear Friends,

If you've heard this from me before, please just stop me . . .

It was St Thomas Aquinas who was told that on a certain night, a cow would jump over the moon.

On the night in question, the entire monastery joined in the joke and began shouting that they were seeing an actual cow jumping over the moon.

When Aquinas rushed out to see what all the great commotion was about, everyone started laughing at him.

He then said, "I would sooner believe that a cow can jump over the moon - than that a monk can tell a lie."

Everyone claims to be seeing a "cow." No bull about it! Was there really a "cow" in the picture? How come I don't see any udders?

Alex,

That's a good point. Why would a teen "need" a margarita?

Dear Cantor Joseph,

After struggling to figure out how a Teen Logo can hold views that would give the most traditionalist Latin Catholic a run for his money while still remaining a Methodist, I'M the one who needs that margarita!

How does that song about "Margaritaville" go? I saw the place in New Orleans . . .
