Statistics had been HARD. When was it ever not? Right after the tests, he thought rhetorically, but never mind that. Now he was free to follow his latest passion. Charlie's passions were not like those of his namesake on TV - Charlie on TV was a man and a half. California Jones was but a man; his passions on the other hand were legendary amongst those who knew him. In fact, once his passions had been so inflamed that there were those who only knew _OF_ him - they knew about his passions too! Charlie had but two methods of study:

1. Get interested in the topic under discussion.
2. Manage to have a _really_ HOT teacher. Van Halen knew this method, and wrote a Rock Anthem about it. Personally, Charlie wished it had been a ballad; it would have been longer, and it would have had a happy ending.

He turned to his fledgling business effort anew. The only other REALLY famous bible verse was John 3:16. He located it (it actually was easier than his text books, because the verses were numbered individually. Geology text books on the other hand... I'll say no more.) He read it all in one breath - it was short. It had the old universal theme of a love story, and you could SEE that this was why it was so popular. Academically, though, it was worthless. The grammar (for example,) was archaic (he knew this word from his efforts with the dictionary explaining detention.) The "so" in "so loved the world," belonged in the phrase "God loved the world SO much," unless this author purported to instruct a person the manner in which God implemented his love. Unlikely; the mind of God was not available in the Library for citations. He did not jade his attentions by gorging himself on content - a burger should be an excellent excuse to flirt with the cashier.
