VICTORIALOU - said "I'm going to go dig out that banana peel I just threw into the garbage."

Funny you should say this, as I was just thinking about a Sunday School teacher at church who must have made quite an impact on me. We were discussing how we measure "wealth" differently in various cultures. Then she painted with words the most vivid picture of what it is like to see starving people in third-world countries. She said that while visiting there she saw these kids going through the trash. They would diisappear by crawling into overturned trashcans. When they finally re-emerged, they wwould have discarded banana peels, raking them against their bottom row of teeth to get all of the "lining.' I could literally taste those bitter banana peels!

One's trash is another's treasure.
