STREET DOGS

Any holiday that starts with a “Good Friday” cannot be all bad. — Anon Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny should take a few pointers from the mutual fund industry. All three are trying to pull off elaborate hoaxes.

But while Santa and the bunny suffer the derision of eight-year-olds everywhere, actively managed stock funds still have an ardent following among otherwise clear-thinking adults. — Jonathan Clements

When I tell people that I am a prime example of the corporate world’s religious tolerance — I am an atheist, but I like to get paid for the day off and I do not care what it is called — they look at me as if I am retarded.

First they assume that I was raised Jewish; then they assume I had a bad experience at Catholic school; and they finally rest on the belief that I had a bad childhood experience with God and that my atheism is a phase.

[But], I am comfortable with my beliefs, and this atheist is going to enjoy Easter, too. I cannot get enough dark chocolate. — The Cynical Girl

Do not wait up to see if the Easter Bunny is real. Just enjoy the egg hunt. — Shana Alexander

Easter Bunny wisdom says that there is nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with a big Chocolate. — Anon

Though I adore the idea of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Sandman, the Tooth Fairy and such luminary characters — especially their altruism and devotion — I still do not believe in them. For I know the truth.

Only one such miracle worker exists who performs magic in my life, seeing to my wants and needs without fail. That is my mother. With unwavering faith I believe in her. — Richelle E Goodrich

May your Easter be as festive and full of colours as a gay wedding.
