    “IF” is useless without “THEN”.

    The word ‘life’ also contains the chemical symbols for lithium and iron. I don’t have a joke for this, just a nerdy chemist observation.

    In Dutch life is “leven”, which contains the Dutch word “even”, which means “little while”. So make the best of it.

    And ‘life’ without an ‘f’ is nothing but a ‘lie’.

    I wonder why Opal’s wondering about the “ifs”?

    Opal interrupts Earl’s reading to share some ‘stoner thoughts’. She’s been hitting the bong out in the garage, evidently.

    The word “if” is a constant with the media. That way there won’t be so many lawsuits claiming the positive statement.

    If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas. I first heard that from Don Meredith while commentating on a NFL game :-)

    And “IF” people who thought that way were immediately killed, we’d have no organized religions.

    Without the “f” life is a lie. You decide the ‘f.’

    Hmm, I’ve never been good at grammar, but it does not look like “life” is full of “ifs.” It just has one “if.” Tempted to get theological about what that one “if” would be. But as a Christian, I could let the reader ponder what that one “if” would be.
