Bolshevik Russia. A revolutionary walks into a church and confronts the priest. "Your religion is dying", he says. "Look at your congregation! It is all old ladies. Soon they will be dead, and your superstition will be swept away by the tide of history!" "Ah", says the priest. "That's just where you're wrong. There will always be more old ladies". - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
