DUMBEST KID IN THE WORLD? I THINK NOT

A young boy entered a barber shop and the barber whispered to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."

The barber put a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then called the boy over and asked, "Which do you want, son?"

The boy takes the quarters and leaves. "What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer left, he saw the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.

"Hey, son!", he said. "I'd like to ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"

The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over."

Thoughts

I believe five out of four people have trouble with fractions.

Why not modern Latin: VENI, VEDI, VISA - I came, I saw, I shopped.

STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS.

Strange! No one ever says "It's only a game," when their team is winning.

I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. And a foundation leaks and a ball game gets rained out and a car rusts and...

If you don't like my driving, don't call anyone. Just take another road. That's why the highway department made so many of them.

Into every life some rain must fall. Usually when your car windows are down.

I love playing cards with children. They can't tell you're dealing off the bottom of the deck.

Remember: you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar... Of course, how you spend your leisure time is your business.

A man's best friend is his dog. That's assuming you want a friend who messes on your carpet and drools on your newspaper.

If I won the lottery, I wouldn't be one of those people who immediately quit their jobs. I'd make my boss's life a living hell for a week or two first.

A rose by any other name would stick you just as bad and draw just as much blood when you grab a thorn.

It's a small world. So you gotta use your elbows a lot.

This land is your land. This land is my land. So stay on your land.

How come wrong numbers are never busy?

Do people in Australia call the rest of the world "up over"?

Does that screwdriver belong to Philip?

Does killing time damage eternity?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips?

Why is it that night falls but day breaks?

Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?

When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.

If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead?"

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

Isn't Disney World a people trap operated by a mouse?

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

Two students miss a final exam

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms so much so that going into the final, they each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the Uuniversity of Virginina to party with some friends.

They did this and had a great time. However, with their hangovers and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virgina for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. They couldn't fix it for a long time and were late getting back to campus.

Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, elated and relieved, studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin.

They looked at the first problem which was something simple about molarity and solutions; it was worth 5 points. Cool, they thought, this is going to be an easy final. They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words: (95 points) Which tire?

The homework schedule

Here is an explanation of the school homework policy for the average student. Students should not spend more than ninety minutes per night. This time should be budgeted in the following manner if the student desires to achieve moderate to good grades in his/her classes.

15 minutes looking for assignment.
11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment.
23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and just does not like children.
8 minutes in the bathroom.
10 minutes getting a snack.
7 minutes checking the TV Guide.
6 minutes telling parents that the teacher never explained the assignment.
10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom or Dad to do the assignment.

Joke of the day

Steven Wright

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.

My watch is three hours fast, and I can't fix it. So I'm going to move to New York.

I like to reminisce with people I don't know.

I like to skate on the other side of the ice.

I'm so hyper - Said with a very dull voice.

If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses.

Four years ago... No, it was yesterday. Today I... No, that wasn't me.

Sometimes I... No, I don't.

Is it weird in here, or is it just me?

A friend of mine once sent me a post card with a picture of the entire planet Earth taken from space. On the back it said, Wish you were here.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Lots of comedians have people they try to mimic. I mimic my shadow. I got a new shadow. I had to get rid of the other one . It wasn't doing what I was doing.

I was once walking through the forest alone. A tree fell right in front of me and I didn't hear it.

I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what it is.

Every once in a while I'll be listening to the radio and I say, I think I might have written that.

He asked me if I knew what time it was. I said, Yes, but not right now.

I put tape on the mirrors in my house so I don't accidentally walk through into another dimension.

Revelation 3:20

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners.

At one house, it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door.

Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned.

Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."

Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

Beware the fury of a patient man. John Dryden

Confusion creates jobs.

Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels good.

Conscious is being aware of something; conscience is wishing you weren't.

Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.

Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Chipped dishes never break.

Boldly going forward because we cannot find reverse.

Clearly stated instructions will consistently produce multiple interpretations.

Build something foolproof and every fool will use it.

Bureaucracy: a method for transforming energy into solid waste.

--By the time you can make ends meet, they've moved the ends.

By the time you have the right answers, no one is asking you questions.

Common sense is not so common.

Common sense is the most evenly distributed quantity in the world. Everyone thinks he has enough. - Descartes,

Competition brings out the best in products and the worst in people.

Complex problems have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers.

Confession is good for the soul, but bad for the career.

Blessed are those who go around in circles, for they shall be known as wheels.

Blessed is he who expects no gratitude, for he shall not be disappointed.

Blessed is he who has reached the point of no return and knows it for he shall enjoy living.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to work twelve hours a day. - Robert Frost
