April 2: The Case for Christ book and Palm Cross

Given to Iwan from Carless.

See Lee Strobel's other bestseller:
"The Case for Cured Hams"

Iwan is, for all practical purposes, a rocket scientist. I asked him if he ever mentioned his profession if someone around him was putting together, for example, a cabinet. "Well, it's not rocket science," I presumed he would say. But he did have this fun anecdote:

"I've said things like 'this isn't rocket science' on many occasions, often to get a laugh. A few years ago, I was asked to give a talk to the American Society of Neurosurgeons. It was a breakfast talk. And I made this comment about brain surgery and rocket science. Let's put it this way--they weren't a humorous bunch."

-In the States, luxury items (i.e. high end cars) often have the announcer with a British accent talking about their features. For luxury items in the Wales, where you're from, what accent do they use?: Well, an upper class accent as opposed to something regional. No foreign accents, though.

-What's the best province in the UK?: Wales, for sure.

-You're our 10th bearded gift exchanger. Are you jolly?: I would say the people that know me well would say I'm not jolly. I can have a good time, but I'm not jolly.
