Please try not to laugh too hard at this ..................


They live and walk among us.  You need to read what this person wrote to the Carteret News Times newspaper. This is not a joke, this person is really walking around out there. And, this person votes...

 

The question here is whether this person is representative of our Society-----or, is our Society representative of him

Mule Trading
Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville Daily in Starkville, MS. and bought a mule for $100.



The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.




The next morning the farmer drove up and said,"Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night."





Curtis &Leroy replied,"Well, then just give us our money back."




The farmer said,"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."




They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule."




The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?"



Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."




The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"




Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!" 




A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked.




"What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"



They said,"We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.."




Leroy said,"Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollarsapiece and made a profit of $998."




The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?" 


Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."


Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.




They're overseeing the Bailout & Stimulus Programs.

The Shoebox (priceless!!!)


The Shoebox (priceless!!!)
I LOVE THE PRAYER AT THE END

THE SHOEBOX!!!


A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.


For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.

He asked her about the contents.
'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two Precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two Times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with Happiness.

'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'

'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

A Prayer
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death,
Because I don't have the freaking time to crochet.

This is Daddy, is Momma near the phone?


Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg, 

 

 

 

 

'Hello?' 

 

 

'Hi, honey. 

This is Daddy.

Is Mommy near the phone?' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'No, Daddy.

She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a brief pause, 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daddy says, 

 

'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Oh, yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy,

right now.' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brief Pause. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do.

Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs,

knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy

that Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway.' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Okay, Daddy, just a minute.' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few minutes later

The little girl comes back to the phone. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'I did it, Daddy.' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'And what happened, honey?' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes

on and ran around screaming. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser

and now she isn't moving at all!' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Oh, my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. 

He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window

and into the swimming pool.

But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water

last week to clean it. 

He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long Pause 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Longer Pause 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even Longer Pause 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then Daddy says, 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Swimming pool? ........... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is this 555-5731?' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, I think you have the wrong number ...

THE NEW MATH



 



 Years of Math 1950 - 2010


Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $ 2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register.

I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters , but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. 

Why do I tell you this?
 Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:

1. Teaching Math In 1950s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?


2. Teaching Math In 1960s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?


3. Teaching Math In1970s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?


4. Teaching Math In 1980s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.


5. Teaching Math In 1990s

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?

Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )


6. Teaching Math In 2009
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la roducciones es $80. Cuanto
dinero ha hecho?


 


 

 7. Teaching Math In 2013

Who cares, just steal the lumber from your rich neighbor's property. He won't have a gun to stop you, and the President says it's OK anyway cuz it's redistributing the wealth.

Math for Success!


Mathematics: 
This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic. 
It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly ......  mathematical viewpoint... and it goes like this:


What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%?

What makes up 100% in life? 

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: 

If: 
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 

Is represented as: 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. 

Then: 

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
 
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And 

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% 

But ,


A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% 

And, 

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103% 

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. 

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 

1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118% 

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work andKnowledge will get you close, and Attitudewill get you there. 
Its the Bullshit
 and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
 
Now you know why some people are where they are!

Baptizing A Drunk


A man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes
upon a preacher baptizing people in the river.

He proceeds to walk into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher.
The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he
asks the drunk,
'Are you ready to find Jesus?'

The drunk answers,
'Yes, I am.'


So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him up
and asks the drunk,
'Brother have you found Jesus?'

The drunk replies,
'No, I haven't found Jesus."

The preacher shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again for
a little longer. He again pulls him out of the water and asks again,
" Have you found Jesus??"

The drunk again answers,
'No, I haven't found Jesus.'

By this time the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk in the
water again ---- but this time holds him down for about 30 seconds and
when he begins kicking his arms and legs he pulls him up.


The preacher again asks the drunk,
'For the love of God have you found Jesus?'


The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher,

'Are you sure this is where he fell in?'
