Day 3.
   Mo’s Senator Paul Douglas Wisdom for Today: When you differ with a man, show him, by your looks, by your bearing, and by everything that you do or say, that you love him.

   This one was sent in by Rob R. at Riverside…and you do have to say it a couple of times before it makes sense.
   A class at Okapiklco was making sentences out of words chosen by their teacher. Little Bob R. seldom participated in the class so the teacher was delighted when he raised his hand to give it a try.
   “Bob,” said the teacher, “I’d like for you to please make a sentence using the words ‘defeat,’ ‘defense,’ ‘deduct,’ and ‘detail.’”
   Little Bob R. thought for a few minutes, and proving that the acorn surely does not fall far from the tree, smiled and said, “Defeat of deduct went over defense before detail.”

   Mo is everywhere. Mo was lurking at the back of the chemistry class at Colquitt County High School (Go Packers!) and overheard the following exchange: Chemistry teacher – What is the formula for water?
   Student: H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O.
   Teacher: Now Little Bubba, why would you give a silly answer like that?
   Student (aka as Little Bubba): It’s not silly. You said the formula for water is H to O.
   Oink!
