Fun Facts:
-I went to drive my car yesterday, and I walked to the wrong side to get in.
- In Uganda, there used to be a lot of dogs in downtown Kampala, but the cops poisoned them all. Here's why: There are lots of street kids whose parents send them out to the streets during the day to beg for money. Well, the kids got smart and trained the dogs to act like they were going to attack someone. So, the dogs would chase after a woman, who would then get scared and throw her purse and take off running. The kids, obviously, would go grab the purse. The cops try and do everything in their power to make people on the streets stop begging. They thought that if they got rid of all of the dogs, it would help end street begging.
PRAISE THE LORD!
