Many of you know my own regard for the work of Karl Barth. But I like Dr. Seuss, too.
For a delightful little poem showing the relationship between Barth and Seuss, check this post out:

A very good joke contributed to me by Bob Pond, one of our distinguished MDiv students!
—————–
There once was man who had been the sole occupant of a deserted island for over 30 years. One day, a plane flying overhead spotted his presence on the island and radioed for help.
When the rescuers arrived to the little island, they noticed three huts, two of which were fairly close and one farther down the beach. So they asked the man, “What are those three huts?”
The man answered, “Oh, the first hut is my house and the one beside it is the church where I attend.”
”Ok,” the rescuers said, surprised to hear that he had built a church despite the fact that he was the only one who had been there all along. “But what is that third hut a little way down the beach?”
“Oh, that,” the man said smugly. “That’s the church I used to attend!”
