83rd post

Wonder of wonders
Irony of ironies
Usually I only take Bus 416 from school
But today, in a prelude to more irony,
I took it back from the library too!

When Glavine leaves the Mets to return to the Braves,
That is an irony;
When Arabs say Annapolis shafted them,
That is an irony too.

But of all the ironies large and small
The most ironic of them all
Is the woman passenger on the 416
Who asked if we had reached her stop yet long after we'd passed it and I don't care if this line doesn't rhyme and is too long ha ha 'cause I'm random

A study of sex education programs in schools in Texas finds the state’s abstinence-only policy doesn’t work as well as hoped. “We didn’t find what many would like for us to find,” said Texas A&M University researcher Buzz Pruitt. His study shows that 23 percent of ninth grade girls have already had sex by the time they received abstinence lessons. And after they attend, the percentage increased. The numbers for boys are even worse, but they lag the girls by a year. Abstinence education, which must have “as its exclusive purpose, teaching the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by abstaining from sexual activity” to get federal funding, has been strongly pushed by President George W. Bush, who was governor of Texas before he was elected president. (Dallas Morning News) ...Because girls said no to him while he was in school, and he wants to be sure that doesn’t change now that he’s out.
