Then there is the Just for Fun section which contain jokes and funny stories. Some are purely just for fun. Others are quotations that might be good to take to heart... such as: "Don't walk in front of me; I might not follow. Don't walk behind me; I might not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend." ---Albert Camus |
