- "Math Trick":
(I wish I could figure out how this is done....JR
Math Trick---- try this one--- interesting result!
Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will probably stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country.
Grab a calculator. (You won't be able to do this one in your head.)
1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the Area Code)
.2. Multiply by 80.
3. Add 1.
4. Multiply by 250.
5. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number.
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
7. Subtract 250.
8. Divide number by 2.
Thanks, Janice!
The math geniuses in our presence have solved this one (or a variant thereof)
for us before. They have even patiently and repeatedly explained to me how they
did it, though certainly I cannot tell you how it's done now. My mind caught the
vision for one brief, shining second, and then it was gone, dissipated like so
many far fetched dreams of years past. I think it may have something to do with
the Magic Number 9.....

A redneck was stopped by a
game warden in South Louisiana recently with two ice chests full of fish.
He was leaving a cove well-known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to
catch those fish?'
'Naw,
sir', replied the redneck. 'Hain't got no license. Y'all must understand, these
are my pet fish.'
'Pet fish?'
'Yes sir. Every night, I take them
down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. Then, when I
whistle, they jump right back into these ice chests here and I take 'em home.'
'That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't
do that.'
The redneck looked at the warden for
a moment and then said, 'It's the truth, Mr. Government Man. I'll show you. It
really works.'
'O. K.', said the warden. 'I've got
to see this!'
The redneck poured the fish into the
lake and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the warden
says, 'Well?'
'Well, what?', says the redneck.
The warden says, 'When are you going
to call them back?'
'Call who back?'
'The FISH', replied the warden!
'What fish?', replied the redneck.
........
Moral of the story: We may not be as
smart as some city slickers, but we ain't as dumb as some government employees.
You can say what you want about the
South, but you never hear of anyone retiring and moving north, do ya?
Thanks, Bill!

"The Four Candles":
The Four Candles
 |
The four
candles burned slowly. Their Ambience was so soft you could hear them
speak... The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely. The second candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely. Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." |
|
And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.
Suddenly...A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning. The child began to cry, Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end.
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."
With Shining eyes the child took the Candle
of Hope and lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life. With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are...Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.
Thanks again, Shari!

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes.com - 07/29/09:
Dog Lover
The 6 a.m.
regulars at the dog run are, not surprisingly, a pet-oriented group. Recently
John started discussing his trip. “The flight was awful! We were delayed for a
few hours, and when we finally boarded, the baby behind me didn’t stop crying
for the whole flight.”
Another dog run regular turned to him in surprise: “What did the owner do?”
*************
Back in Bed
His aching
back made it impossible for my friend’s husband to get a decent night’s rest on
their lumpy mattress. “Until I feel better, I’m going to sleep on the couch,” he
announced.
Ordinarily, a spouse moving out of the bedroom isn’t a good sign for the
marriage. So his wife couldn’t resist: “Okay, but as soon as we have an argument
you’re back in our bed.”
*************
All in the Perspective
Two
mothers met for coffee. “Well Ruthie, how are the kids?”
“To tell you the truth, my son has married a real tramp!” says Ruth. “She
doesn’t get out of bed until 11. She’s out all day spending his money on Heaven
knows what, and when he gets home, exhausted, does she have a nice hot dinner
for him? Ha! She makes him take her out to dinner at an expensive restaurant.”
“Oh! What a shame. And how about your daughter?”
“Ah! Now there’s a lucky girl. She has married a saint. He brings her breakfast
in bed, he gives her enough money to buy whatever she needs, and in the evening
he always takes her out to dinner at a nice restaurant.”

Words and Music by Grace Slick (b. 30 Oct 1939)
(Jefferson
Airplane,
1967)
One
pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small
and the ones that mother gives
you don't do anything at all -
go ask Alice, when she was just small.
And if you go chasing rabbits
and you know you're gonna fall
tell 'em a hookah
smoking caterpiller has given you the call
for Alice, when she was ten feet tall.
While men on the chessboard
get up and tell you where you go
and you've just had some kind of mushroom
and your mind is moving on - go ask Alice - I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
have fallen - sloppy dead
and the white knight is talking backwards
and the Red Queen says
"Off with her head," remember what the Dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head."
