  4. Thanks for the toast, guys, really, but, umm, the f-word actually comes, like sissy, queen, and other words that will come to mind, from an old slang word for a woman. No historical connection with bundles of sticks.

  6. Possibly, Steve. But being a Christian is about using our brains and rising above our baser instincts. If I can do it then anybody can.
