There's a moral to this story, I just don't know what it is.

A fellow from New York was driving through rural West Virginia and he passed a farm where he saw a pig doing backflips in the front yard. He pulled over and watched the pig for a few minutes when he noticed that the pig only had three legs!

He walked up to the farmer who was watching the pig from the porch. "That's some pig you got there" said the New Yorker. "He can do backflips with only three legs." "How did he lose his leg?"

The farmer said, "Backflips are nothing. Once, my barn was on fire and a burning timber fell on me, the pig ran in through the blazing fire and falling timbers and pulled me to safety, even though he was injured by the blaze!"

"Wow," said the New Yorker. "Is that how he lost his leg?"

"No," said the farmer. "He still had all his legs then." "Another time, a large bear was loose in the area and had my boy chased up a tree and was trying to get at him. This pig went out and attacked the bear, holding him off while my boy escaped!"

"Amazing, is that how he lost his leg," asked the New Yorker.

"No," said the farmer, "it's just that a pig that good, you just don't eat him all at once."

Making a difference

Here we go again, another movie star in the news. I wonder what relationship trouble or drug rehab it involves this time........

But wait, something new!!! A star is actually doing something to make a difference!!!

I think it is pretty awesome to see that Angelina Jolie has begun using her fame and money make a difference in this world. This is in direct contrast from the train wrecks her sisters in fame have made lately (Paris, Britney, Lindsey, Anna). Even better, when most show business folks make political statements in oscar speeches and wear trendy ribbons to show support for the cause-du-jour, Ms. Jolie is actually getting involved.

She has donated money to children's causes around the world and has now adopted three children from third world countries (Ethiopia, Cambodia, and Vietnam). I really respect people who put their money where their mouth is.

Say, if she is willing do adopt kids from impoverished third-world countries; I'm from West Virginia and could definitely use the money. I could see my self calling Angelina Jolie, Mommy.
