1. Footprints In The Sand - Has there ever been a cheesier story?
2. The saying, "Everything happens for a reason" - Worse than #1
3. The singing of Amazing Grace on Extreme Home Makeover.

I want to have toilet paper made with #1 and #2 printed on it.

I think "Extreme Home Makeover" and all other makeover shows should go too.

You don't think my wife is attractive?

On the contrary. She is so beautiful that she makes me feel like I will never measure up.

Add the saying attributed to Jesus "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it."

I've only seen them at the MTC, but the picture of Jesus next to a small mirror, and the caption, "The Savior did his part. Are you doing yours?"

If we're going to get rid of sayings, I propose we get rid of WWJD?

Jesus wouldn't put himself into a situation where he'd need to decide what to do. He'd just do the right thing.

Why do I have trouble picturing Jesus putting WWJD on $10 junk jewelery and trying to sell it? The irony doesn't end.

Footprints...the Man with the Old Violin (although talented narrators can still pull this one off)...the schoolmaster in W. Virginia story who flogs kids...all these are less emotionally stirring than the theme song from Cheers.
