The Cat’s GiggleCricket ExplainedIn order to assist people who are not familiar withthe game of cricket, we offer this explanation.Cricket is a game in which there are two sides—one‘out’ and the other ‘in’.Each player in the side that is ‘in’ goes out, andwhen he is out, and when he is out, comes in, thenthe next player goes out, until they are out, and thencomes in.When the side that is ‘in’ is all out, the side that hasbeen ‘out’ goes ‘in’ and the side that was ‘in’ goes‘out’ and tries to get out the side that was ‘in’.Sometimes there are players still ‘in’ and not outwhen the side that is ‘in’ is finally out.When both sides have been‘in’ and ‘out’, including thosenot out and no longer ‘in’ -that is the end of the game.I do hope this has cleared upany confusion about thegame.Only 50.000 miles . . .A blonde was trying to sell her old car but was havinga lot of problems because the car had 250,000miles on it. One day she told her problem to a brunettethat she worked with. The brunette told her:"There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell,but it's not legal.""That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I onlycan sell the car.""Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of afriend of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him Isent you and he will turn the counter in your carback to 50,000 miles. Then it should not be a problemto sell your car anymore." The following weekend,the blonde made the trip to the mechanic.About one month after that, the brunette asked theblonde: "Did you sell your car?""No," replied the blonde, "why should I? It only has50,000 miles on it."Hey Doc . . . .A mechanic was removinga cylinder head from themotor of an XJ Jaguarwhen he spotted a wellknownheart surgeon in hisshop.The surgeon was there waiting for the service managerto come take a look at his car when the mechanicshouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can Iask you a question?"The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to wherethe mechanic was working on the Jaguar. The mechanicstraightened up, wiped his hands on a rag."So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, takethe valves out, repair any damage, and then putthem back in, and when I finish, it works just likenew. So how come I get such a small salary and youget the really big bucks, when you and I are doingbasically the same work?"The surgeon paused, smiled, leaned over, and whisperedto the mechanic..."Try doing it with the engine running"21
