When he was described as "a carnivorous moose stalking his dinner," his reaction was to say, "Moose aren't carnivorous."

The 25 gentlemen of the Bunn Bible Class (average age about 70), file in smiling, touching each other gently. By 10 a.m. they have eased themselves into folding chairs, as have a cluster of wives and old friends' widows.
