A SPIRITUAL WORD from david bruce

STORIES ARE ABOUT RELATIONSHIP
Click to start
SPIRITUAL THEMES

Dodgeball is a story not unlike many other stories of this type told in the past, a group of misfits challenged by the upper echelon of society decides to fight back and make a stand for themselves. Peter La Fleur played by brilliant actor Vince Vaughn operates a small gym called Average Joes. Average Joes in many ways is for the average person, the person who goes to the gym for many of the same reasons a person might go to a bar. The opening scenes of Average Joes could have very well used the theme song from the television sitcom, Cheers, a place where everybody knows your name.
--Mike Furches

ON AVERAGE JOES

The average person thinks he isn't.
--Father Larry Lorenzoni

The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever.
--Anatole France (1844 - 1924)

The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible.
--Jean Kerr

Religion consists in a set of things which the average man thinks he believes and wishes he was certain of.
--Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

The average person living to age 70 has 613,000 hours of life. This is too long a period not to have fun.
--Author Unknown

Good leadership consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.
--John D. Rockefeller (1839 - 1937)

It's the place where my prediction from the sixties finally came true: "In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes." I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is, "In fifteen minutes everybody will be famous."
--Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol's Exposures (1979) "Studio 54"
