In the early 1900s George Riddell acquired the sensational London newspaper The News of the World. Meeting British journalist Frederick Greenwood one day, Riddell mentioned that he owned a newspaper, told Greenwood its name, and offered to send him a copy. The next time they met, Riddell asked Greenwood what he thought of The News.
'I looked at it and then I put it in the wastepaper basket,' said Greenwood, 'and then I thought, 'If I leave it there the cook may read it,' so I burned it.'

Two men had an argument. To settle the matter, they went to a Sufi judge for arbitration. The plaintiff made his case. He was very eloquent and persuasive in his reasoning. When he finished, the judge nodded in approval and said, 'That's right, that's right.'
On hearing this, the defendant jumped up and said, 'Wait a second, judge, you haven't even heard my side of the case yet.' So the judge told the defendant to state his case. And he, too, was very persuasive and eloquent. When he finished, the judge said, 'That's right, that's right.'
When the clerk of court heard this, he jumped up and said, 'Judge, they both can't be right.' The judge looked at the clerk of court and said, 'That's right, that's right.'

Henry Augustus Rowland, professor of physics at Johns Hopkins University, was once called as an expert witness at a trial. During cross-examination a lawyer demanded, 'What are your qualifications as an expert witness in this case?'
The normally modest and retiring professor replied quietly, 'I am the greatest living expert on the subject under discussion.' Later a friend well acquainted with Rowland's disposition expressed surprise at the professor's uncharacteristic answer. Rowland answered, 'Well, what did you expect me to do? I was under oath.'

Even those who claim to be Born Again are not necessarily firmly grounded in the truths of the Bible. In his book which provides a statistical analysis of religious beliefs in America, George Barna cites several fascinating statistics which are based on a national survey.
In chapter four he states, 'The Devil, or Satan, is not a living being but is a symbol of evil.' Then asking that segment of his survey respondents who have identified themselves at being Born Again, he states, 'Do you agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, or disagree strongly with that statement?'
The Born Again population reply with 32 percent agreeing strongly, 11 percent agreeing somewhat and 5 percent did not know. Thus, of the total number responding, 48 percent either agreed that Satan is only symbolic or did not know!
Should it then be surprising that a few pages later Barna would receive some very startling responses? His next question, 'Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and others all pray to the same God, even though they use different names for that God.' Again, the respondents were asked to agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat or disagree strongly.
Of that population surveyed who identified themselves as Born Again, 30 percent agreed strongly, 18 percent agreed somewhat and 12 percent did not know. That is a total of 60 percent! (What Americans Believe, pp. 206-212).

A pastor I know, Stephey Belynskyj, starts each confirmation class with a jar full of beans. He asks his students to guess how many beans are in the jar, and on a big pad of paper writes down their estimates. Then, next to those estimates, he helps them make another list: their favorite songs. When the lists are complete, he reveals the actual number of beans in the jar. The whole class looks over their guesses, to see which estimate was closest to being right. Belynskyj then turns to the list of favorite songs. 'And which one of these is closest to being right?' he asks. The students protest that there is no 'right answer'; a person's favorite song is purely a matter of taste.

Belynskyj, who holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Notre Dame asks, 'When you decide what to believe in terms of your faith, is that more like guessing the number of beans, or more like choosing your favorite song?' Always, Belynskyj says, from old as well as young, he gets the same answer: Choosing one's faith is more like choosing a favorite song.
When Belynskyj told me this, it took my breath away. 'After they say that, do you confirm them?' I asked him.
'Well,' smiled Belynskyj, 'First I try to argue them out of it.'

At the end of the Battle of Britain, British vice-marshal Alexander Adams was driving to a meeting at his headquarters when he came upon a sign: ROAD CLOSED -- UNEXPLODED BOMB. Adams called over the policeman on duty, hoping he might be able to suggest an alternate route.
'Sorry, you can't go through,' said the policeman as he approached the car. 'The bomb is likely to go off at any minute now.' Then he caught sight of Adams's uniform. 'I'm very sorry, sir,' he said, 'I didn't know you were a wing commander. It is quite all right for you to go through.'
With 'advisors' like that, who needs enemies! Although that policeman -- who was trained to respect rank -- momentarily allowed his deference to a vice-marshal to overcome his good sense, Adams had better sense than to follow his advice.

William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State in Woodrow Wilson's Cabinet, was interviewing a man who was seeking a diplomatic post in China. Bryan warned the applicant that it was necessary to qualify as a linguist. 'Can you speak the Chinese language?' he asked.
The man was equal to the occasion. Looking Bryan squarely in the eye, he replied, 'Try me. Ask me something in Chinese.' --

Once the Devil was walking along with one of his cohorts. They saw a man ahead of them pick up something shiny. 'What did he find?' asked the cohort.
'A piece of the truth,' the Devil replied.
'Doesn't it bother you that he found a piece of the truth?' asked the cohort.
'No,' said the Devil, 'I will see to it that he makes a religion out of it.'

Cleveland Amory tells this story about Judge John Lowell of Boston. One morning the judge was at breakfast, his face hidden behind the morning paper. A frightened maid tiptoed into the room and whispered something to Mrs. Lowell's ear. The lady paled slightly, then squared her shoulders resolutely and said, 'John, the cook has burned the oatmeal, and there is no more in the house. I am afraid that this morning, for the first time in seventeen years, you will have to go without your oatmeal.'
The judge, without putting down his paper, answered, 'It's all right, my dear. Frankly, I never cared much for it anyhow.'

Another poll sheds light on this paradox of increased religiosity and decreased morality. According to sociologist Robert Bellah, 81 percent of the American people also say they agree that 'an individual should arrive at his or her own religious belief independent of any church or synagogue.' Thus the key to the paradox is the fact that those who claim to be Christians are arriving at faith on their own terms -- terms that make no demands on behavior. A woman named Sheila, interviewed for Bellah's Habits of the Heart, embodies this attitude. 'I believe in God,' she said. 'I can't remember the last time I went to church. But my faith has carried me a long way. It's 'Sheila-ism.' Just my own little voice.'

Allan Bloom writes: 'Openness - and the relativism that makes it the only plausible stance in the face of various claims to truth and various ways of life and kinds of human beings -- is the great insight of our times. The true believer is the real danger. The study of history and of culture teaches that all the world was mad in the past; men always thought they were right, and that led to wars, persecutions, slavery, xenophobia, racism and chauvinism. The point is not to correct the mistakes and really be right; rather it is not to think you are right at all.'

To please his father a freshman went out for track. He had no athletic ability, though the father had been a good miler in his day. His first race was a two-man race in which he ran against the school miler. He was badly beaten. Not wanting to disappoint his father, the boy wrote home as follows: 'You will be happy to know that I ran against Bill Williams, the best miler in school. He came in next to last, while I came in second.'

Once when President Franklin D. Roosevelt was preparing a speech, he needed some economic statistics to back up a point he was trying to make. His advisers said it would take six months to get accurate figures. 'In that case, I'll just use these rough estimates,' FDR said, and he wrote down some numbers in his text. 'They're reasonable figures and they support my point.
'Besides,' he added as an afterthought, 'it will keep my critics busy for at least six month just to prove me wrong.'

At the county fair a distinctively dressed Quaker offered a horse for sale. A non-Quaker farmer asked its price, and since Quakers had a reputation for fair dealing, he bought the horse without hesitation. The farmer got the horse home, only to discover it was lazy and ill-tempered, so he took it back to the fair the next day. There he confronted the Quaker.
'Thou hast no complaint against me,' said the Quaker. 'Had thou asked me about the horse, I would have told thee truthfully the problems, but thou didst not ask.'
'That's okay,' replied the farmer. 'I don't want you to take the horse back. I want to try to sell him to someone else. Backblaze aws. Can I borrow your coat and hat awhile?'

In the survey taken in early 1991, interviewees were asked, 'Do you agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, or disagree strongly with the following statement: There is no such thing as absolute truth; different people can define truth in conflicting ways and still be correct.' Only 28% of the respondents expressed strong belief in 'absolute truth,' and more surprisingly, only 23 percent of born-again or evangelical Christians accepted this idea!

What a telling revelation! If more than 75 percent of the followers of Christ say nothing can be known for certain, does this indicate, as it seems, that they are not convinced that Jesus existed, that He is who He claimed to be, that His Word in authentic, that God created the heavens and earth, or that eternal life awaits the believer? That's what the findings appear to mean. If there is no absolute truth, then by definition nothing can be said to be absolutely true. To the majority, apparently, it's all relative. Nothing is certain. Might be. Might not be. Who knows for sure? Take your guess and hope for the best!
James Dobson, December 1991 letter, quoting George Barna, What Americans Believe.
While an estimated 74 percent of Americans strongly agree that 'there is only one true God, who is holy and perfect, and who created the world and rules it today,' an estimated 65 percent either strongly agree or somewhat agree with the assertion that 'there is no such thing as absolute truth.'

A woman's red station wagon was crushed by an elephant at a circus. The owners of the animal apologized, explaining that the animal, for some reason, simply liked to sit on red cars. In spite of the damage, the woman's car was still drivable. But on the way to the garage she was stopped short by an accident involving two other cars just ahead of her. When the ambulance arrived a few minutes later the attendants took one look at her car, then ran over to assist her.
'Oh, I wasn't involved in this accident,' she explained. 'An elephant sat on my car.' The ambulance attendants quickly bundled her off to the hospital for possible shock and head injuries, despite the lady's vehement protests.

The drunk husband snuck up the stairs quietly. He looked in the bathroom mirror and bandaged the bumps and bruises he'd received in a fight earlier that night. He then proceeded to climb into bed, smiling at the thought that he'd pulled one over on his wife.
When morning came, he opened his eyes and there stood his wife. 'You were drunk last night weren't you!'
'No, honey.'
'Well, if you weren't, then who put all the band-aids on the bathroom mirror?'

A number of years ago the Douglas Aircraft company was competing with Boeing to sell Eastern Airlines its first big jets. War hero Eddie Rickenbacker, the head of Eastern Airlines, reportedly told Donald Douglas that the specifications and claims made by Douglas's company for the DC-8 were close to Boeing's on everything except noise suppression. Rickenbacker then gave Douglas one last chance to out-promise Boeing on this feature. After consulting with his engineers, Douglas reported that he didn't feel he could make that promise. Rickenbacker replied, 'I know you can't, I just wanted to see if you were still honest.'

Once, when a stubborn disputer seemed unconvinced, Lincoln said, 'Well, let's see how many legs has a cow?'
'Four, of course,' came the reply disgustedly.
'That's right,' agreed Lincoln. 'Now suppose you call the cow's tail a leg; how many legs would the cow have?'
'Why, five, of course,' was the confident reply.
'Now, that's where you're wrong,' said Lincoln. 'Calling a cow's tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.'

Dr. Clarence Bass, professor emeritus at Bethel Thelolgical Seminary, early in his ministry preached in a church in Los Angeles. He thought he had done quite well as he stood at the door greeting people as they left the sanctuary. The remarks about his preaching were complimentary. That is, until a little old man commented, 'You preached too long.' Dr. Bass wasn't fazed by the remark, especially in light of the many positive comments. 'You didn't preach loud enough,' came another negative comment; it was from the same little old man. Dr. Bass thought it strange that the man had come through the line twice, but when the same man came through the line a third time and exclaimed, 'You used too many big words' --this called for some explanation.
Dr. Bass sought out a deacon who stood nearby and asked him, 'Do you see that little old man over there? Who is he?'
'Don't pay any attention to him,' the deacon replied. 'All he does is go around and repeat everything he hears.'

Writing letters of recommendation can be hazardous--tell the truth and you might get sued if the contents are negative. Robert Thornton, a professor at Lehigh University, has a collection of 'virtually litigation-proof' phrases called the Lexicon of Intentionally Ambiguous Recommendations, or LIAR.
Here are some examples:
*To describe an inept person--'I enthusiastically recommend this candidate with no qualifications whatsoever.'
*To describe an ex-employee who had problems getting along with fellow workers--'I an pleased to say that this candidate is a former colleague of mine.'
*To describe an unproductive candidate--'I can assure you that no person would be better for the job.'
*To describe an applicant not worth consideration--' I would urge you to waste no time in making this candidate an offer of employment.'

Two brothers were getting ready to boil some eggs to color for Easter.
'I'll give you a dollar if you let me break three of these on your head,' said the older one. 'Promise?' asked the younger. 'Promise!' Gleefully, the older boy broke two eggs over his brother's head.
Standing stiff for fear the gooey mess would get all over him, the little boy asked, 'When is the third egg coming?'
'It's not,' replied the brother. 'That would cost me a dollar.'

The late former Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker told the story of the day Winston Churchill, sitting in the House of Commons, was brought the message that his deadly enemy, Aneurin Bevan, had just died. Churchill bowed his head, clearly shaken. 'A great man, a brilliant man, a tragic loss,' he muttered. Some minutes later another member of parliament came to Churchill to inform him that the press was waiting outside to get his 'heartfelt opinion on Nye Bevan.'
Churchill thought a moment, then looked up warily and said, 'Are you sure he's dead?'

The next time the First-mate was in charge of the ship, he recorded in the log, 'Captian sober today.'

A couple of hunters chartered a plane to fly into the Canadian wilderness. Two weeks later when the pilot came to pick them up, he saw the two animals they had bagged and said, 'I told you fellows I could only take you and one moose. You'll have to leave the other behind.'
'But we did it last year in a plane this size,' protested one of the hunters, 'and the other pilot let us take two moose.' Drivers enfora lp.
'Well, okay,' said the pilot. 'If you did it before I guess we can do it again.'
So the two moose and the hunters were loaded in and the plane took off. Because of the heavy weight, it rose with difficulty and was unable to clear an obstructing hill. After the crash, the men climbed out and looked around.
One hunter said to the other, 'Where are we, anyway?'
His companion surveyed the scene. 'I think we got about half a mile farther than we got last year.'
