Ah, Ralph, the chocolate, broccoli and cauliflower diet with a side of
carrots thrown in.  Please note which I put first.  The first ingredient is
always the one that there is the most of.  Ruth

Ruth,

  And I thought there was something a little weird about people who have
personal

relationships with The Deity.  I don't think I'd care for a relationship
with my food, either.



Recently I was discussing dietary matters with somebody who was trying to

convince me to eat fish, so I gave my usual spiel about how I don't eat
anything that can't breathe.  Then I saw somebody's bumper sticker that
said they didn't eat anything that had a face or a mother, which somehow
didn't sound so unreasonable, either.

Maybe all of this will get me on the diet I need.  Wait a minute--
chocolate doesn't have a face or a mother, and doesn't have gills, or
cloven hooves, and doesn't scavenge for food, either.  Therefore, it must
be the perfect food.

Ralph
