Dirk's College Days

Ray’s brother Dirk is a man of few words, and usually his actions give you an idea of what he’s thinking. Ray reminded me of this story the other day, and I thought I would share it with you.

Over in Lancaster, they got themselves what used to called the Extension because it was an extension of the main campus in Columbia. Well, after a few years they got tired of that and now it’s called USCLA, or The University of South Carolina, Lancaster Area.

Dirk up and decides he’s going to need a college education, so he enrolls himself at USCLA.

One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in, looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform." I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.

The lecture room fell silent.
You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting."

It got down to the last couple of minutes when Dirk got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and slugged him; knocking him off the platform.
The professor was out cold. Dirk went back to his seat and sat there, silently.

The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.

The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at Dirk and asked, "What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

Dirk calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me."

So that’s the end of Dirk’s school days.

Okay, now I want to give you all a Lando Cooking School lesson.
This particular dish is a favourite of mine, and I get Mrs. Mayor Stoner to make it as often as I can.

First, gather up these ingredients.

• 8 large corndogs or 24 mini-corndogs
• 2 cans chili
• 1 can refried beans
• 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup grated pepperjack cheese
• 1/2 cup of chopped green onions

Now, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Combine chili and beans in mixing bowl.

Arrange thawed corndogs in an 8x12 baking dish.

Pour chili and bean mixture into baking dish.

Cover with cheese, and bake for 30 minutes.
Add green onion garnish and place under broiler until browned.

Now, take the whole thing to your Sunday covered dish or Wednesday prayer meeting or Thursday social club or what ever! There wont be no leftovers!

May God bless you until next time!
