“I was sitting on my own in a restaurant, when I saw a beautiful woman at another table. I sent her a bottle of the most expensive wine on the menu. She sent me a note: "I will not touch a drop of this wine unless you can assure me that you have seven inches in your pants." So I wrote back: "Give me the wine. As gorgeous as you are, I'm not cutting off three inches for anyone.” GivingBeautifulThreeMy OwnSawsCuttingSittingGive MeTablesWineNotesSevenRestaurantsExpensiveBottlesPantsInchesGorgeousBeautiful WomenMenusCutting Off Author:Akhil
“My own experience is that the Bible is dull when I am dull. When I am really alive, and set in upon the text with a tidal pressure of living affinities, it opens, it multiplies discoveries, and reveals depths even faster than I can note them.
