Comedians

Tim Hawkins is a big fan of IKEA. The popular and incredibly talented comedian loves himself some of the Swedish retailer. Watch the short but hysterical clip in which Tims love of IKEA is made terribly clear. Shopping is an awful activity. Yes, I know and understand that its something that must be done regularly to survive, especially grocery shopping (without a doubt the worst type of shopping). People need things periodically, and retail establishments have been set up to fulfill those needs. Its based on that age-old economic rule of supply and demand. You have a demand for something, and stores are there to fulfil that demand by supplying it with their products. Now, when it comes to shopping, people will have their favorite places to browse and pick up those much-needed items. That is, unless youre like me and youd rather not go to any stores. Regardless, most individuals have favorites, and they have their own reasons why this store is better than that one, or vice versa. Maybe its because of their prices, or perhaps one stores layout is better and more efficient than someone elses. In a clip posted on YouTube, Tim Hawkins made his favorite store abundantly clear. Its not Walmart, Target or even Costco, but surprisingly its IKEA. Why is the popular Swedish retailer his favorite? We are not given the reasons why. Maybe he really likes putting furniture together or enjoys their world-famous meatballs. Whatever his reasoning might be, he posted a hysterical clip of himself pushing a cart around an IKEA. In the video, Tim also includes a snippet of Mamma Mia, the most popular and iconic tune from the legendary Swedish group ABBA. It remains unclear exactly what hes shopping for in the video, as he quickly moves about through the large store, but viewers will soon get the sense that Tim is enjoying himself at IKEA. Proverbs 15:13 A glad heart makes a sinning face, but by the sorrow of the heart, the spirit is broken.

A comedians hysterical response to a disturbance will have you cracking up. The funnyman, Jeff Allen, encountered an unexpected situation in the middle of the night, and his reaction was not what he or anyone else expected. Watch the short and hilarious clip to hear about the situation Jeff found himself in, and his immediate response to it. This world is lost and fallen, full of people who are hurting and struggling. Sin has done a number on this planet, this place where we all temporarily reside. Due to sin, bad things happen, and emergencies where we are forced to act without a moments notice. In some instances, how we react in that moment can be the difference between life and death. Now, everyone, if put in an emergency situation where our lives and those of our family were in immediate danger, would like to think we would know how to respond. We want to think wed react heroically, doing what needed to be done to eliminate that threatening entity or force. But is that really how most of us would act? When that fight-or-flight response kicks in, a lot of people will probably high-tail it out of there, screaming, while running in the other direction. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jeff hilariously detailed how he responded to a situation he initially perceived as dangerous, but first impressions can often be deceiving. Regardless, how he reacted and what he did in the moment is still pretty hysterical. We have a dress rehearsal one night, he said. I wake up; theres a human being at the foot of my bed at 3 in the morning. I dont know if youve ever, it was her, but I didnt know it. I honestly thought someone was ready to attack me in the bed. He shared that he began screaming wildly, flailing about and reached for the safe, eventually picking it up and then readied himself to throw it. But before he did that, his wife made her presence known. You! Jeff said. I could have shot you! She says, Not from what I saw, you spaz. Isaiah 41:10 Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.

Youll be cracking up at this comedians stay at a 5-star hotel. The funnyman shared his hilarious experiences from his time at an expensive, luxurious and highly rated accommodation. Watch the short but hysterical clip to listen to Chad Thornsberry discuss his time at a hotel in downtown Chicago. Who doesnt love traveling? Is there anything better than getting outside and seeing all that the world has to offer? There is so much more that exists beyond what we see and experience in our day-to-day lives. Yes, we should be grateful for what weve been given, but sometimes its fun to go out and see new places, have new experiences. Now, whenever traveling, regardless of our ultimate destination, well have to find some place to lay our heads at night. While Airbnbs has become extremely popular as of late, some people still prefer the comfort and somewhat familiarity of a hotel. In a clip posted on YouTube, Chad discussed the time he stayed at a rather pricey establishment in downtown Chicago. It was a bit of culture shock for him, as hes not used to staying in such expensive spots. As he mentioned in the opening moments, his stay was part of a work trip and paid for by the company. His time at the hotel in the Windy City got off on a rocky and hilarious start even before he entered the building. As Im staring, the door to my truck opens, he said. As Im turning, out of the corner of my eye, I see somebody start to get in, and so just out of a reaction, I just turn and shove this guy. And he just kind of stumbles backwards, and Im like, Dude, what are you doing? He said, Sir, Im your valet. But in my defense, I dont drive the type of vehicle that you typically valet. Later, after finally getting into the hotel, he has a brief but hilarious encounter with the person behind the desk, who helps him check in. But that wasnt all. Several hours later, he received a phone call from the hotel asking him how the room was and if everything was OK. This courtesy call had Chad more than a little confused. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

This hotel waffle story from Nate Bargatze will have you laughing out loud. The popular and talented funnyman has a skill in making anything, even the smallest, most insignificant encounter and experience, deliriously funny, and he has done that once again with what he witnessed during a continental breakfast. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what happened when he and a buddy tried to enjoy breakfast at a hotel. Hotels are an excellent modern convenience that too many of us take for granted. They make travel and vacations possible, or at least much easier, allowing people to easily book a place to stay for a night or two while going from Point A to Point B. What would we do if hotels didn't exist? Probably open the Airbnb app and figure out something there, but thats beside the point. Most people have stayed in a hotel at some point. Some of them were great, and others likely not so much. However, despite the condition of the room or whether anything was missing or damaged, can we all admit that the continental breakfast is the best thing about staying at a hotel? Who doesnt want to wake up and rush downstairs for a cinnamon roll or a nice bowl of Lucky Charms? In a clip posted on YouTube, Nate explained that he and a buddy were trying to enjoy their hotels breakfast layout when things went horribly and hilariously wrong. What should have just been a nice breakfast turned into a catastrophe. So, Im with my buddy of mine, thats my age, he said. So, we go through; hes in front of me. Not really talking or anything, just going through. He gets to it. Its batter and syrup theyre in clear containers. Theyre not labeled, but theyre in clear containers. He gets the syrup and starts pouring it on the waffle iron. This seemed like an odd move, but Nate was interested to see where his friend was going with this culinary decision, so he just hung back and watched for a moment. And Im not even stopping him because hes not doing it where hes going, I dont, Ive never done that, he added. Hes doing it where were probably going to try it after. Hes doing it like. Im like, dude, I cant wait to see what this guy is making. Like, he might know something that I dont know. Moments later, he discovered how his friends creation turned out. And it makes black smoke, is what it makes, he said. Not all recipes will be winners. 1 Corinthians 10:31So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

This comedian explained how his education impacted his career. The funnyman, Greg Warren, mentioned what happened before and after he obtained his college degree. Watch the short but hysterical clip to listen to Greg explain how his life was changed after he became a college graduate. An education is something that will never be completed. It does not matter how many degrees someone has or does not have; there will always be more facts, figures and knowledge to acquire. Anyone who says otherwise is incredibly nave and is only fooling themselves. However, at some point in life, they will figure out just how wrong they were, believing that they know it all after they get that piece of paper. Every day should be a learning experience, an opportunity to increase what we know. There are so many opportunities available to obtain information. They are literally all around us desktops, laptops, cell phones and libraries. Anyone who says they have no way to learn or acquire knowledge isnt looking or trying hard enough. Learning and obtaining more information will only make your life better, or at least thats what weve been led to believe. In a clip posted on YouTube, Greg, who is a college graduate, explained what happened to him after he got that coveted piece of paper. His job did not exactly get better. In fact, he hilariously makes the point that it might have gotten worse. I was a waiter before I went to college, and I came out a busboy, he said. If I wouldve gone to grad school, I am pretty sure I could have made dishwasher. I think I could have done it. Of course, a degree, while important, is not everything when it comes to the job market. Sometimes, there are factors beyond our control, regardless of how educated we are. Proverbs 18:15 The heart of the man of good sense gets knowledge; the ear of the wise is searching for knowledge.

Greg Warren hilariously called out his insurance company for not trying hard enough. The popular funnyman would just like the company he pays thousands of dollars to put forth a little more effort. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what Greg would like his insurance company to do for him. Insurance is one of those things that nobody enjoys buying. Even though purchasing it is never a fun experience, were compelled to have it, by law, in some cases. Once weve selected a plan that fits our budget and our liking, the best, most fun part comes next: making monthly payments for it (heavy sarcasm, for sure). As most people know, even though you pay those insurance companies thousands of dollars, when it comes time to use that insurance for what it was intended for, they, without fail, will try to get out of paying, usually through some technicality. Thats why people hate insurance companies in a nutshell. All we want is for them to hold up their end of the deal. Greg is also not a big fan of his insurance company. In a clip posted on YouTube, he said he would appreciate it if his insurance tried just a little harder. More effort would be nice. What he suggests they do is absolutely hysterical. First of all, they say theyre going to send you an insurance card, he said. Stop calling it a card. Its a piece of paper, OK. I want a card. Thirty-five hundred dollars I gave you guys last year; you can afford to send me a card. At least laminate the card. The library laminates their cards. I dont think the whole library system made $3,500 last year. Later in the clip, Greg says that while the insurance company typically sends a piece of paper with directions on where to cut, he wants to go a different direction with it. He wants to make odd and unexpected shapes with his insurance card. 1 Timothy 5:8 If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

Grocery shopping goes off the rails in this comedians hysterical bit. You probably wont look at a trip to the grocery store the same after listening to and laughing at his shopping advice. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear what he says shoppers should do at the store. Shopping is one of the worst activities human beings regularly engage in, and there is no disputing that. However, if you can believe it, shopping, as bad as it is, does get considerably worse. This horrible, undesirable activity does have a name: grocery shopping. Seriously, there is nothing worse than a trip to the grocery store, and this is for several reasons. For starters, its nearly impossible to have a quick trip to the grocery store. No matter what item you need, there will always be someone standing right in front of it, holding and carefully reading a box of cake mix or Stove Top Stuffing. This wont be a simple skimming of the ingredients, either. No, they will always be reading as if their life depended on knowing exactly what goes into red velvet. And dont even get me started on the people for whom returning a cart is too much effort. In a clip posted on YouTube, Kellen Erskine shares some thoughts and opinions on grocery shopping as well. He does not appear to be a fan of the activity either. However, what he proposes will certainly make grocery shopping much more interesting. The most selfish thing a human being can do is leave a shopping cart in an empty parking space, he said. Yeah, if youve done that, shame on you. Youre telling me you can meander two and a half miles inside Costco, but the moment you get to your vehicle, youre like, Not another step. He is 100 percent right about the shopping cart situation! Later in the clip, he suggests doing something that, while hilarious, will likely not be appreciated by your fellow shoppers. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

These adult responses from Zoltan Kaszas will have you rolling with laughter. The comedian has some of the best and most hilarious ways to respond to specific situations. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear some of Zoltans hilarious adult responses to particular events that will have you doubled over with laughter and struggling to catch your breath. It's been said that most of life is not what happens to you, but how you react to it. Most people would happily agree with that statement if for no other reason than it gives us control, and people love feeling like they have power and control over their lives. So, while we may not always have control over what happens to us, we are still in charge of how we respond to this or that. Of course, how we respond will vary depending on several factors, including our age. For instance, a child will not react to something the same way a teenager would, and vice versa. Also, adults do, or at least should, respond differently to situations when compared to a child, a teenager or an elderly individual. In a clip posted on YouTube, Zoltan mentioned several situations and also how adults would theoretically react to those situations. With some of them, he may be correct, spot-on even and others, maybe not so much, but either way, you will be laughing yourself silly. He talked about holding a jar and then dropping it at the grocery store. Initially, his first reaction to the situation was to high-tail it out of there, but he knew that wasnt the adult way to handle that incident, and so he had to suppress that urge to run. An adult stands there, and calls the manager over, goes, Excuse me! he said. And then they call a teenager over with a mop, and then you stand there while you watch them clean it. Later in the clip, he discussed seeing an infomercial that nearly everyone is familiar with and how he feels about it now that he is officially in his 30s. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Anjelah Johnson-Reyes has almost found a way to avoid those Starbucks lines. The popular comedian believes her plan is nearly perfect, except for one minor detail. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what her almost foolproof plan is to beat those annoyingly long lines at Starbucks. Everyone has to have their caffeine in the morning. Can you imagine what would happen if some people did not get their morning shot of sugar and caffeine? People would probably be at each others throats by 10:30. Entire office buildings would be in complete revolt by lunchtime. Hopefully, thats not the case at all. But even sarcastically entertaining those scenarios goes to show you how addicted many people are to their morning coffee and other forms of caffeine, which are happily supplied by Starbucks. However, the only problem with Starbucks (on top of the high caffeine and sugar content of their drinks) is their often-long lines. No one wants to wait in line for a drink that they need immediately! In a clip posted on YouTube, Anjelah believes that she may have found the perfect way to get around those lines at the popular shop. Her hilarious solution for avoiding those lines all comes down to how she is dressed. It all sounds great at first, but there is one major flaw to her plan. She discovered a store that sells scrubs, and the best part, she says, is that anyone can walk in and buy some medical clothes. You did not have to show any ID or any type of employee status. If you had the money, they could be yours. She had a plan to wear those to Starbucks, hoping people would let her go ahead of them, thinking she had just come off a long shift at the hospital. Its a genius plan, until theres an actual emergency at Starbucks, she said. It sounds like she will have to keep looking for a solution. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Nate Bargatzes strong anti-lake stance will have you cracking up. The popular funnyman has staked out a firm position on that body of water, and its not a positive one either. Watch the short but hysterical clip to listen to Nate explain why he is very much against lakes and being out on them. Everyone likes the water. When the temperature warms, one of the most popular outdoor activities is to enjoy the water. That could mean heading to a beach to take a swim in the ocean or heading to a water park to try out their latest and greatest water slide. Additionally, it could mean enjoying a relaxing evening on the lake, taking in the beautiful scenery. Well, as it turns out, not everyone does, in fact, enjoy the water. Nate is not a big fan of all kinds of bodies of water. Specifically, Nate hates lakes and is totally against being on them for any amount of time. In a clip posted on YouTube, Nate explained why he is so opposed to lakes. His reasons for his dislike of lakes will have you laughing and may even have you nodding along as he makes some excellent points about them. If he has to be on a lake, he would prefer a vessel that moves rather slowly and is very quiet. But he confesses that, from his experience, that has never been the case. I mean, its her boat, its five hours, he said. You just sit in the back of it - Be! Be! Be! Be! Be! No one can talk; its just chaos. I mean, stuff is flying everywhere. Im sore for a month, just, like, Is that from the boat? Later in the clip, he added how out on the lake, its pretty much anarchy. Theres no rules on the lake, he said. Its just the wild West. Everybody drives as fast as they want. Theres only sudden turns made out there. Everybody driving a boat is either drunk or 11. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

After a pastor mentioned Chick-fil-A in his sermon, John Crist had a hilarious response. The preacher unexpectedly worked the popular fast-food chain into his message, and the popular comedian had the perfect reaction to it. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the pastors words about Chick-fil-A and how John reacted. Pastors in any given year will likely give close to 100 messages, and maybe even more, depending on how frequently a particular church has services. Since that number can reach triple digits, pastors have to find a way to change things up at times. They have to say things that their congregation may not have heard in a while, or at all, depending on how regularly they attend church. Also, pastors have to keep their messages relevant. To keep people interested and to help them better apply the message to their lives, many pastors incorporate current events into their sermons. Who does it help if a preacher is talking about things that are completely foreign and unknown from our experience? That doesnt help anyone. At that point, the pastor may as well preach to a brick wall. In a clip posted on YouTube, a pastor found a completely unexpected way to work Chick-fil-A into his message. What may be the most hilarious part of the pastors message is that he basically says a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich is the highest level of status a chicken can reach. John, who is a pastors kid, loved the pastor working Chick-fil-A into the message. He mentioned that he was hyped after hearing the pastors passionate words. Im going to Chick-fil-A after this, John said. He later added that he imagined the pastor had written down only a bullet point stating Chick-fil-A, and that was all he needed. Additionally, he mentioned that the pastor talked like he had a connection to Chick-fil-A. This guy either owns one, or he used to work at one, John said. Also, like, hes probably getting a cease and desist. 1 Corinthians 10:31 So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

This comedian says that Amazon gave him the push he needed to lose weight, and its too funny. The funnyman, Gabriel Rutledge, isnt sure exactly why the massive online retailer sent this to him, but he knew it was time to start losing weight when this happened. Watch the short, but hilarious clip to hear what Amazon sent him and his immediate reaction. Weight is a problem for many Americans. There are a lot of people who would be considered overweight, with some who would even be classified as obese. However, most, if were being honest, could stand to drop some pounds. Do we really need that second piece of cheesecake? Wasnt one already enough? Perhaps, instead of scrolling Facebook for an hour, taking a walk might be a good idea. While losing weight is something we know we ought to do, oftentimes finding the motivation to get started is an entirely different story. Its much easier to sit and watch television than it is to run on the treadmill. Going to the gym isnt much fun, especially when wed rather be going out to eat. When it came to finding motivation to lose weight, Gabriel didnt have to look for it; it landed in his inbox. Amazon inadvertently gave him the push to start dropping weight in the most unexpectedly hilarious way. This is how I got motivated to lose weight; it was a weird way, he said. I got an email from Amazon, and the email said, Based on your recent activity, we thought you might be interested in this. And it was a picture of a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. He added that, while he had never had a bag of chips delivered to his house before, he had an idea of why that particular item was suggested to him. I think its because I ordered an extra-large shirt, and then I returned it, and exchanged it for a double extra-large shirt, he said. Yeah, thats when the hurtful algorithm kicked in. 1 Corinthians 10:31So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Nate Bargatze shared his hilarious attempt at problem-solving at the airport. The popular funnyman offered assistance when a seemingly minor issue became an overwhelming problem at the airport. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what happened to him at the airport and how he tried to help fix the issue. Flying is rarely, if ever, a fun time. Yes, its likely the fastest and most efficient form of transportation, especially when you need to get to a destination quickly. However, if someone were ever to develop another form of travel that was just as or almost as efficient as flying, it would soon put the airline industry out of business. Air travel, for the most part, is a big hassle and headache. The TSA is constantly changing its safety regulations and procedures, and they can and do often vary from one airport to the next. Do I need to take my shoes off? Do I need to take my belt off? Can my electronics be left in the bag or do they need to be taken out and placed in their own, separate bin? It's just one headache after another when flying. Nate is well aware of the frustrations of air travel. In a clip posted on YouTube, he mentioned a very minor situation that airport security made a huge deal about. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Once I was checking a bag, and the guy behind the counter sees my ticket says, Nathan, he said. The license says, Nathaniel, and he was, like, This is not good. He goes, These names dont match. Nate tried to help with the dilemma. And I was, like, But they match, right? Like, you can see the leap we took to get from one to the other? he said. Later in the clip, Nate tried once again to help the man who was confused about the three different names. I said, Look, Ill give you that those names dont match, he said. But what I think is going to help a ton is the picture on the ID. Something that Ive always loved that they did, and I think, with 70 percent of that name matching, and 100 percent face, its 170 percent. I think Ill get through. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

A comedian called out this oddity of the English language, and its absolutely hysterical. The funnyman, Michael McIntyre, brought attention to something that everyone has encountered at one time or another, and hell have you doubled over with laughter. Watch the short but terribly funny clip to hear the comedian talk about this peculiarity of the English language. It's been said that English is one of the hardest languages to learn. It makes sense, right? Youve likely been speaking it and writing it your entire life, and there are probably still several things about it that still confuse and confound you. This is after being required to take English throughout school. One of the big reasons it is such a challenging language to understand is that English has all kinds of rules. However, there are also exceptions to every rule you were taught in English class. Admittedly, this can be tough for students to comprehend. But one of the strangest and most inexplicable quirks of the English language is the widespread use of letters that seemingly have no business being in a handful of words, simply because they are silent. In a clip posted on YouTube, Michael highlights this odd feature of the English language. Hilariously, he points out some of the common words that we say that have silent letters attached to them, pronouncing them as if those letters were given a voice. Additionally, Michael proposes adding a new holiday to the calendar, which he would call Silent Letter Day. Of course, on Silent Letter Day, everyone says and celebrates the many different words with unused letters. In a matter of moments, Michael will have you, much like the studio audience, doubled over and laughing deliriously. You likely will not be able to look at some words ever the same without thinking of Michaels hysterical bit on silent letters. Proverbs 16:24 Pleasing words are like honey, sweet to the soul and new life to the bones.

Zoltan Kaszas shared his hilarious adventures in the sky. The funnyman mentioned some of the strange things he has encountered while traveling the friendly skies. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear about his laugh-out-loud air travel experiences. Everyone loves getting away and going on vacation. Honestly, who doesn't want to go on vacation? Anyone? Typically, those seeking a week or so of rest and relaxation will select a warm location, perhaps one with a beach near the ocean. What could possibly be better than time away from work and some fun in the sun with family and friends? While that does sound heavenly and utterly delightful, not every moment of vacation is free of stress, worry and headaches. Of course, before enjoying the beach or whatever location youve decided upon for vacation, one must get to that spot. Usually, that means flying, which is hardly, if ever, a fun, enjoyable time. Going through security and getting on the plane is only half the fun (heavy sarcasm), but that is before the actual flight, which can also be pretty eventful. In a clip posted on YouTube, Zoltan shared some of what he has seen and gone through while flying. Not only is what he shares incredibly funny, but its also very relatable. He mentioned what happened when he flew with a friend who did the Sign of the Cross before takeoff. He asked his friend whether that was for everyone on the plane or just him, because that could make for an awkward situation if disaster were to strike. Im like, When youre doing it, are you praying for everybody? he asked. He goes, Of course. I go, You better be. Cause thatd be weird, wouldnt it? This plane goes down and everybodys dead and on fire in a cornfield, except for you just sitting there: Oh, I should have prayed for everybody. I made a giant mistake. Theres going to be a lot of questions when the authorities arrive. Later in the clip, he discussed the person who is deadset and determined to read on the flight, even when turbulence makes that somewhat challenging. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Nate Bargatze broke down the horror of modern math homework. The popular funnyman is not the biggest fan of his daughters homework, specifically the mathematics kind. Watch the clip to hear Nates hysterical complaints about how math homework is now expected to be performed and completed. When it comes to school, not everyone was the biggest fan. For some people, school was a daily struggle, while others breezed through school effortlessly, without putting in little to no effort. Surprisingly, some individuals could achieve As or Bs without studying or even cracking open the textbook. Others would have to put in quite a bit of work even to achieve a C. Even if school as a whole was a piece of cake, likely there were still a subject or two that gave you fits. For me, the subject that consistently provided me with headaches and made my life worse was math. Seriously, every other subject throughout school was a breeze, but when it came to math, that was a totally different story. So, when Nate complains about his daughters math homework, I understand entirely, and I bet a lot of other people do as well. In a clip posted on YouTube, Nate mentioned how math is taught today and how it is expected to be completed. Who really uses numbers anyway, right? I mean, unless youre doing a lot of everyday functions and tasks that require numbers and mathematical functions. She brought home Common Core math, he said. Thats fun. Its a new math they invented. No heads up, just give it to parents who never learned it. Later in the clip, Nate explained to the audience the specific end goal of this new kind of mathematical system. And the goal of Common Core is to use one sheet of paper for every problem, he said. You just want to keep breaking the problem down. You put the problem at the top, and it just keeps going. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge; but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.
