From Uncle Steve.
1. Pick up the nearest book ( of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people & post a comment here once you post it to your blog, so I can come see.
Here goes:
"Then the glory of the Lord appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel. The Lord said to Moses, 'How long will this people spurn Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs which I have performed in their midst?'"
We don't keep a lot of books close to the computer. But, since the computer desk is opposite the dinner table, we do keep a Bible there in hopes that occasionally we will remember to have family Bible reading during dinner. (We have discovered this is the easy way to keep the kids quiet during the reading, and at this stage of life, we're all about easy.) It was buried by a stack of tax forms and the box for Mille Bornes, so that's probably not a good sign.
I'm feeling too fuzzy to come up with names, so if you haven't done this recently, consider yourself tagged.

From the Gregg Reference Manual--
"Many nouns of foreign origin retain their foreign plurals, others have been given English plurals, and still others have two plurals--an English and a foreign one. When two plural forms exist, one may be preferred to the other or there may be differences in meaning that govern the use of each. Consult your dictionary to be sure of the plural forms and the meanings attached to them."
At first I thought you were commenting on a grammatical error in my post, and I couldn't figure out what foreign plural I had used. Then I realized what book you kept on hand.
That's funny. Seriously, can't-wipe-the-smile-off funny.
I tagged me. :)
Here you go.
