Say, what?

A CYNICAL LOOK AT THE DAILY GRIND

NO WHINE BEFORE ITS TIME

A Missouri clergyman is on a quest to make the world a better place.



He's started a campaign to get his flock to look on the brighter side of life by challenging them not to complain for 21 days straight.

Guess what? It's not as easy to do as it sounds.

Once someone takes the challenge - if they whine about anything - they have to start the 21-day, no-gripe pledge over. As of Monday, only 21 church members have made it.

The Rev. Will Bowen said he even broke his purple plastic bracelet (worn as a symbol for the challenge) three times over the four months that it took him to succeed.

Check out Bowen's revolution. It seems it's taking the country by storm.

Sounds like a good idea, but I bet wearing that plastic bracelet is annoying.

(Gee, I think I might have made it 21 minutes!)
