Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

The poet had written better poems, but he'd also written verse.

Two banks with different rates have a conflict of interest

Two pencils decided to have a race. The outcome was a draw.

I would like to go to Holland one day, wooden shoe?

Sometimes it helps to describe how new programs work in Washington by using a short homolie as an analogy for the new program. I will describe the new (Democratic party) financial stimulus plan as such:

Quote:
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from South Carolina. All three men go with a White House official to examine the fence. The South Carolinean contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run somewhere in the vicinity of $900: about $400 for materials, about $400 for my crew and something like $100 profit for me."

The Tennessee contractor (from Sevierville) also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for less; a total of $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700..."

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy fromTennessee to fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work.

Doing things the Chicago way is why we need something like a spendulus to bail us out.

If Wall Street & the Guvmint had done things the Tennessee way, we wouldn't be in this fix now.

Heh!

My Dad sent me thi9s one from one of his math buddies, simple substitution algebra...


What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giv ing 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-$-H-!-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ***** kissing will take you.

A-$-$-K-I-$-$-I-N-G***
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with ma thematical certainty, that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bull$hit and *****- kissing that will put you over the top.

I wonder which school he works for?
