What Have I Learned - Lately?

Some of us learn slowly, some quickly.  Some have creative, expansive, inquiring minds.  Others take each day as we find it and rarely question why.

Fifteen years ago someone sent me the following list of things that illustrate "what we learn through the ages"... hope some of them bring you a smile.  They did for me - that is why I still have the list all these years later.
