It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.

If we can connect in some tiny way with a human that doesn't agree with us, then maybe we won't blow up the planet.

An old preacher was dying. He sent a message
for his banker and his lawyer, both church members, to come to his
home.
When they arrived, they were ushered up to his
bedroom. As they entered
the room, the preacher held out his hands and
motioned for them to sit
on each side of the bed. The preacher grasped
their hands, sighed
contentedly, smiled, and stared at the ceiling.
For a time, no one said
anything.
Both the banker and lawyer
were touched and flattered that the preacher
would ask them to be
with him during his final moments. They were also
puzzled; the
preacher had never given them any indication that he
particularly liked
either of them. They both remembered his many long,
uncomfortable
sermons about greed, covetousness, and avaricious behaviour
that
made them squirm in their seats.
Finally, the banker said,
"Preacher, why did you ask us to come?"
The old preacher mustere
d up his strength and then said weakly, "Jesus
died between two
thieves, and that's how I want to go."

The Reverend
Billy Graham tells of a
time early in his ministry when he arrived in a
small town to preach a
sermon. Wanting to mail a letter, he asked a
young boy where the
post office was. When the boy had told him, Dr. Graham
thanked him
and said, "If you'll come to the Church this evening, you
can hear
me telling everyone how to get to Heaven."
"I don't think I'll
be there," the boy said. "You don't even know
your way to the post
office."

The Reverend
Francis Norton woke up
Sunday morning and realizing it was an
exceptionally beautiful and
sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play
golf. So.... he
told the associate pastor that he was feeling sick and
convinced him
to say Mass for him that day.
As soon as the associate pastor
left the room, Father Norton headed out
of town to a golf course about
forty miles away. This way he knew he
wouldn't accidentally meet
anyone he knew from his parish. Setting up on
the first tee, he was
alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and
everyone else was in
church!
At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord
while looking
down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going
to let him get
away with this, are you?" The Lord sighed, and said,
"No, I guess
not."
Just then Father Norton hit the ball and
it shot straight towards the
pin, dropping just short of it,
rolled up and fell into the hole. IT WAS
A 420 YARD HOLE IN
ONE!
Saint Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked,
"Why did
you let him do that?"
The Lord smiled and replied,
"Who's he going to tell?"

A very religious man lived right next
door to an atheist. While
the religious one prayed day in, day out,
and was constantly on
his knees in communion with his Lord, the
atheist never even
looked twice at a church.
However, the
atheist's life was good, he had a well-paying job
and a beautiful wife,
and his children were healthy and good-
natured, whereas the pious
man's job was strenuous and his
wages were low, his wife was
getting fatter every day and his
kids wouldn't give him the time of the
day.
So one day, deep in prayer as usual, he raised his eyes
towards heaven and asked:
"Oh God, I honour you every day, I
ask your advice for every
problem and confess to you my every sin.
Yet my neighbour,
who doesn't even believe in you and certainly
never prays,
seems blessed with every happiness, while I go poor
and
suffer many an indignity. Why is this?"
And a great voice w
as heard from above:
"BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BOTHER ME ALL THE
TIME!"
