Morris walks out into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing.  You're just like Dave."

"Who?"

"Dave Aronson.  There's a guy who did everything right.  Like my coming along when you needed a cab.  It would have happened like that to Dave."

"There are always a few clouds over everybody," says Morris.

"Not Dave.  He was a terrific athlete.  He could have gone on the pro tour in tennis.  He could golf with the pros.  He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star."

"He was something, huh?"

"He had a memory like a trap.  Could remember everybody's birthday.  He knew all about wine, which fork to eat with.  He could fix anything.  Not like me.  I change a fuse, and I black out the whole neighborhood."

"No wonder you remember him."

"Well, I never actually met Dave."

"Then how do you know so much about him?" asks Morris.

"Because I married his widow."

Everyone had weighed in, and our diet-workshop leader began her lecture on the week's topic - the problems of dining out. She talked about alternatives, such as requesting diet sodas and dressings, and having meat broiled instead of fried. Finally she turned the question over to the group for discussion. "What is the greatest problem you encounter when going out to eat?"

Replied one woman quickly, "Running into you!"

What do "A BEAGLES CRYPTS", "A CAR BY LEGS PEST", and "PASTAS BE CLERGY" have in common?  They are all anagrams of "CYBERSALT PAGES".

Don't get it? Ok, more examples - amongst my friends Mark Wagner is "RAN WARM KEG", Jeff Larson is "LENS OFF JAR" and apparently there is no anagram in Juan Ruiz.

What about you - what anagrams lay dormant within your name?  Check them out below.  But first a word of warning.  Some of you have letters in your name that may form some dirty words (anagramically speaking), so if you check your name and find a few of those please don't blame me.  Your parents should have checked this page before naming you!

Hi, pastor Tim!  This is a story of something I did to myself not too long ago.

I live in a group home, and, as I'm sure you would understand, things are sometimes put out of place in the bathroom, making it a nuisance for a blind person to have to feel around looking for the shampoo.

Once, there was this bottle in the tub, which I thought might be the right one to use on my head.  The problem was that it wasn't lathering properly, and I felt I had to put more and more on my hair.  I put water in and shook it, as it seemed to be getting to the bottom.  I still wasn't satisfied, so I used what I thought was conditioner.
Better than nothing, right?

Anyway, I tried this mysterious stuff more than one day.

Finally one night, someone showed me the bottle that, so far, looked like the one I was using.  That day I had used it without trying to cancel it with conditioner.  I got comments about my hair.  My sister thought maybe I'd moussed it.  It looked rather nice away from my face.  The stuff I'd used???

It was shaving cream!
