   While touring historic buildings in Alexandria, Virginia, we visited an old church. The guide said that George Washington had attended services there and pointed to his pew.
   The guide went on to tell us that church services back then had been very lengthy - not infrequently lasting three hours.
   "So, in all probability," he said, "Washington slept here too."

   Two explorers, camped in the heart of the African jungle, were discussing their expedition. "I came here," said one, "because the urge to travel was in my blood. City life bored me, and the smell of exhaust fumes on the highways made me sick. I wanted to see the sun rise over new horizons and hear the flutter of birds that never had been seen by man. I wanted to leave my footprints on sand unmarked before I came. In short, I wanted to see nature in the raw. What about you?"
   "I came," the second man replied, "because my son was taking saxophone lessons."
