know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

What are the only two perennial vegetables? 

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside? 

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear

inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine;

it hasn’t 't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle? 

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ' dw ' and

INTERESTING MESSAGE FOR US ALL TO TAKE ON BOARD

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai A question was posed to Dalai Lama.. "What is the thing about humanity that surprises You the Most" ? His answer was as follows:"Man" - Because He sacrifices His HEALTH in order to Make Money. - Then He Sacrifices His MONEY to Recuperate His HEALTH. - And Then He is SO ANXIOUS about THE FUTURE that HE DOES NOT ENJOY THE PRESENT - And as a Result He does NOT Live in the PRESENT or the FUTURE. - And He LIVES AS IF HE IS NEVER GOING TO DIE, - and Then He DIES Having NEVER REALLY LIVED.”

What is Politics?

Email from jks weerasekera

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes

from the poor and campaign funds from the rich,

by promising to protect each from the other.

~Oscar Am ringer, "the Mark Twain of American Socialism."

I offered my opponents a deal:

"if they stop telling lies about me,

I will stop telling the truth about them".

~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952..

A politician is a fellow who will lay down

your life for his country.

~Texas Guinan. 19th century American businessman

I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious

a matter to be left to the politicians.

~Charles de Gaulle, French general & politician

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city,

it might be better to change the locks.

~Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981)

We hang petty thieves and appoint the bigger thieves to public office.
~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author 

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
~Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher

Politicians are the same all over.

They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev, Russian Soviet politician

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become PM;

I'm beginning to believe it.

~Quoted in 'Clarence Darrow for the Defense' by Irving Stone.

Politicians are people who,

when they see light at the end of the tunnel, 
go out and buy some more tunnel.
~John Quinton, American actor/writer

What happens if a politician drowns in a river?

That is pollution.

What happens if all of them drown?

That is a solution .....!!!
