My son-in-law Matt has a greatlooking<br />
Darth Vader mask. One year<br />
at Halloween, a friend asked if he<br />
could borrow it. Matt agreed, and on<br />
Halloween night, his friend came by<br />
to pick it up. Matt was surprised that<br />
his friend was dressed in his usual<br />
attire of jeans and a flannel shirt, with<br />
the addition of a black cowboy hat.<br />
“Where’s your costume?” Matt asked.<br />
“This is it,” his friend replied.<br />
“Well, what are you supposed to be?”<br />
Matt inquired.<br />
His friend answered,<br />
“Darth Brooks.”<br />
“Have a Howlin’ Good Halloween!!!”<br />
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn’t<br />
run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should<br />
get it fixed.<br />
But, somehow I always had something else<br />
to take care of first: the truck, the car,<br />
e-mail, fishing, always something more<br />
important to me.<br />
Finally she thought of a clever way to make<br />
her point. When I arrived home one day, I<br />
found her seated in the tall<br />
grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair<br />
of sewing scissors.<br />
I watched silently for a short time and then<br />
went into the house. I was gone only a few<br />
minutes.<br />
When I came out again I handed her a<br />
toothbrush.<br />
‘When you finish cutting<br />
the grass,’ I said, ‘you<br />
might as well sweep the<br />
driveway.’<br />
The doctors say I will walk<br />
again, but I will always<br />
have a limp.<br />

At 5 P.M. one Halloween afternoon, my dental<br />
hygienist realized that she wouldn’t make it to the<br />
store in time to get snacks for trick-or-treaters. So<br />
she took home some free samples from the office<br />
supply cabinet.<br />
That night she handed out dozens of toothbrushes,<br />
toothpaste, and dental floss.<br />
The next year, although she had bags of chips and<br />
popcorn, not one child came knocking at her door.<br />

The Good Life - OCTOBER 2008 • <br />
*When it appears that you have killed the monster, *never*<br />
check to see if it’s really dead.<br />
*If you find that your house is built upon or near a<br />
cemetary, was once a church used for black masses, had<br />
previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide<br />
or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who<br />
performed satanic practices in your house, move away<br />
immediately.<br />
*Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as<br />
a joke.<br />
*Do not search the basement, especially if the power has<br />
gone out.<br />
*When you have the benefit of numbers, *never* pair off<br />
and go it alone.<br />
*As a general rule, don’t solve puzzles that open portals to<br />
Hell.<br />
*Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere<br />
near a grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum, or other house of<br />
the dead.<br />
*If you’re searching for something which caused a<br />
noise and find out that it’s just the cat, leave the room<br />
immediately if you value your life.<br />
*If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.<br />
*Do not take *anything* from the dead.<br />
*If you find a town which looks deserted, it’s probably for<br />
a reason. Take the hint and stay away.<br />
*If you’re running from the monster, expect to trip or<br />
fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female<br />
persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are<br />
running and the monster is merely shambling along, it’s<br />
still moving fast enough to catch up with you.<br />
*Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of<br />
which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania,<br />
Nilbog (you’re in trouble if you recognize this one), the<br />
Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.<br />
*If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the<br />
nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help.<br />
1. “For each of man’s evils, a<br />
special demon exists. You’re<br />
looking at vengeance...cruel,<br />
devious, pure-as-venom<br />
vengeance.”<br />
2. “I spent eight years trying to<br />
reach him, and then another<br />
seven trying to keep him locked<br />
up because I realized what was<br />
living behind that boy’s eyes was<br />
purely and simply...evil.”<br />
3. “The creatures of the night!<br />
What beautiful music they<br />
make.”<br />
4. “How’d you like some ice<br />
cream, Doc?”<br />
5. “My darling girl, when Ramses<br />
destroyed Syria, that was an<br />
accident. You are a catastrophe!”<br />
6. “First, I played with Judd.<br />
Then, I played with Mommy. Now<br />
I wanna play with you...”<br />
7. “Sure beats nailin’ em with<br />
sodie pop.”<br />
8. “Let me tell you a little<br />
something about love, Dennis. It<br />
has a voracious appetite. It eats<br />
everything. Friendship. Family. It<br />
kills me how much it eats.”<br />

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year<br />
ago, today it would be worth $49.00.<br />
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original<br />

With World Com, you would have less than $5.00 left.<br />
If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock<br />

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one<br />
year ago, drank all of it, then turned-in the cans for the<br />

Based on the above information, the best current<br />
investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.<br />

Two nuns are traveling through Europe in their car.<br />
They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light.<br />
Suddenly, a diminutive Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car<br />
and scratches at the windshield!<br />
“Quick, quick!!” shouts the first nun “What shall I do?”<br />
“Turn the windshield wipers on, that will get rid of the<br />
abomination.” shouts the second.<br />
The first nun switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he<br />
clings on and hisses even more loudly!<br />
“What shall I do now?” shouts the first nun.<br />
“Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water at<br />
the Vatican!” says the second.<br />
Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and<br />
hisses again at the nuns.<br />
“Now what?” screams the first nun. “Show him your cross!” says<br />
the second.<br />
So the nun rolls down the window and shouts:<br />
“GET OFF MY DARN HOOD, YOU LITTLE CREEP!”<br />

Grandma was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup,<br />
under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter<br />
as she’d done many times before. After she applied her<br />
lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, ‘But<br />
Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!’<br />

Daily LUNCH & Dinner Specials<br />
As many of you know, I had ambitions of finding a simple,<br />
uncomplicated part time job after retiring from my ‘day job’.<br />
Unfortunately, as I have gotten a little older, I have become a<br />
little less sensitive.<br />
So after landing my new job as a Nifty-Mart greeter, a good<br />
find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day......<br />
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud,<br />
unattractive,mean-acting woman walked into the store with<br />
her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through<br />
the entrance.<br />
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning,<br />
and welcome to Nifty-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are<br />
they twins?’<br />
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘No, they<br />
ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why the<br />
hell would you think they’re twins?<br />
Are you blind, or just stupid?’<br />
So I replied, ‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am, I just<br />
couldn’t believe you got lucky twice. Have a good day and<br />
thank you for shopping at Nifty-Mart.’<br />
One dark night two men were walking home after<br />
a party and decided to take a shortcut through the<br />
cemeteryjust for laughs.<br />
Right in the middle of the cemetery they were<br />
startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the<br />
misty shadows.<br />
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with<br />
a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the<br />
headstones.<br />
“Holy cow, Mister,” one of them said after catching<br />
his breath, “You scared us half to death we thought<br />
you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so<br />
late at night?”<br />
“Those fools!” the old man grumbled. “They<br />
misspelled my name!”<br />
My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of<br />
work...<br />

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old<br />
pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two<br />
boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree,<br />
out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.<br />
“One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me,” said<br />
one boy.<br />
Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.<br />
Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle.<br />
As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the<br />
cemetery.<br />
He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard,<br />
“One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me.”<br />
He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike<br />
and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with<br />
a cane, hobbling along.<br />
“Come here quick,” said the boy, “you won’t believe<br />
what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery<br />
dividing up the souls.”<br />
The man said, “Beat it kid, can’t you see it’s hard for me<br />
to walk.” When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled<br />
to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, “One<br />
for you, one for me. One for you, one for me...”<br />
The old man whispered, “Boy, you’ve been tellin’ the<br />
truth.<br />
Let’s see if we can see the Lord.” Shaking with fear,<br />
they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see<br />
anything.<br />
The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron<br />
bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a<br />
glimpse of the Lord.<br />
At last they heard, “One for you, one for me. That’s all.<br />
Now let’s go get those nuts by the fence and we’ll be<br />
done.”<br />
They say the old man made it back to town a full 5<br />
minutes ahead of the boy on the bike.<br />

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a<br />
grandmother changed into old slacks and a<br />
droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair.<br />
As she heard the children getting more and more<br />
rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she<br />
threw a towel around her head and stormed into<br />
their room, putting them back to bed with stern<br />
warnings.<br />
As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old<br />
say with a trembling voice, ‘Who was THAT?’<br />

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what<br />
her own childhood was like: ‘We used to skate outside on<br />
a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a<br />
tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild<br />
raspberries in the woods.’<br />
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last<br />
she said, ‘I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!’<br />

I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her<br />
colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out<br />
something and ask what color it as. She would tell<br />
me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so<br />
I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying<br />
sagely, ‘Grandma, I think you should try to figure out<br />
some of these yourself!’<br />

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church’s Morals,<br />
kept sticking her nose into other people’s business. Several members did not<br />
approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their<br />
silence.<br />
She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of<br />
being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town’s<br />
only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told George (and several others) that<br />
everyone seeing it there would know just what he was doing.<br />
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and<br />
walked away. He didn’t explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing. Later that<br />
evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred’s house...walked<br />
home... and left it there all night.<br />

“When<br />
I was a<br />
boy, the<br />
Dead<br />
Sea was<br />
only<br />
sick.”<br />
– George Burns<br />
When my<br />
grandson Billy<br />
and I entered<br />
our vacation<br />
cabin, we<br />
kept the lights<br />
off until we<br />
were inside<br />
to keep from<br />
attracting<br />
pesky<br />
insects. Still,<br />
a few fireflies<br />
followed us<br />
in. Noticing<br />
them before<br />
I did, Billy<br />
whispered,<br />
‘It’s no use,<br />
Grandpa. The<br />
mosquitoes<br />
are coming<br />
after us with<br />
flashlights.’<br />
A Dog’s Purpose (from a 6-year-old)<br />
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound<br />
named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all<br />
very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.<br />
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do<br />
anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in<br />
their home.<br />
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for sixyear-old<br />
Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something<br />
from the experience.<br />
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him.<br />
Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood<br />
what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.<br />
The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion.<br />
We sat together for a while after Belker’s death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that<br />
animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped<br />
up, ‘I know why.’<br />
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never<br />
heard a more comforting explanation.<br />
He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life . . . like loving<br />
everybody all the time and being nice, right?”<br />
The Six-year-old said, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to<br />
stay as long.”<br />

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids<br />
home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat<br />
of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing<br />
the dog’s duties. ‘They use him to keep crowds back,’ said one child.<br />
‘No,’ said another, ‘he’s just for good luck.’ A third child brought the<br />
argument to a close. ‘They use the dogs,’ she said firmly, ‘to find the<br />
fire hydrants.<br />
An Elderly couple was<br />
celebrating their sixtieth<br />
anniversary. The Couple<br />
had married as childhood<br />
sweethearts and had moved<br />
back to their old Neighborhood<br />
after they retired.<br />
Holding hands they walked<br />
back to their old school.It was<br />
not locked, so they entered,<br />
and found the old desk they’d<br />
Shared, where Ron had<br />
carved ‘I love you, Sally.’<br />
On their way back home,<br />
a bag of money fell out of<br />
an armored car, Practically<br />
landing at their feet Sally<br />
quickly picked it up, but not<br />
sure what to do with it, they<br />
took it home. There, she<br />
counted the money--fiftythousand<br />
dollars.<br />
Ron said, ‘We’ve got to give it<br />
back.’<br />
Sally said, ‘Finders keepers.’<br />
She put the money back in the<br />
bag and Hid it in their attic.<br />
The next day, two FBI<br />
men were canvassing the<br />
neighborhood looking for the<br />
money, and knocked on the<br />
door.<br />
‘Pardon me, but did either of<br />
you find a bag that fell out of<br />
an armored car yesterday?’<br />
Sally said, ‘No.’<br />
Ron said, ‘She’s lying. She hid<br />
it up in the attic.’<br />
Sally said, ‘Don’t believe him,<br />
he’s getting senile.’<br />
The agents turn to Ron and<br />
began to question him.<br />
One says: ‘Tell us the story<br />
from the beginning’<br />
Ron said, ‘Well, when Sally<br />
and I were walking home from<br />
school yesterday...’<br />
The first FBI guy turns to his<br />
partner and says, ‘We’re outta<br />
here.’<br />

A family lives on the outskirts of Anchorage and they decided to<br />
build a sturdy, colorful playground for their 3 and 4 year old sons.<br />
They lined the bottom with smooth-stone gravel all around to avoid<br />
knee scrapes and other injuries. They finished building it one Friday<br />
evening and were very pleased with the end product. The following<br />
morning, the mom was about to wake up the boys and have them go<br />
out to play in their new play center. This is what she saw from the<br />
upstairs window: This gives a whole new meaning to “If you build it,<br />
they will come!”<br />

Deep in the back woods of Kentucky, a hillbilly’s wife<br />
went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor<br />
was called out to assist in the delivery.<br />
Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the<br />
father-to-be a lantern and said, “Here. You hold this high<br />
so I can see what I am doing!”<br />
Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world.<br />
“Whoa there,” said the doctor, “Don’t be in such a rush to<br />
put that lantern down. I think theres another<br />
one coming.”<br />
Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a<br />
baby girl.<br />
“Hold that lantern up, don’t set it down there’s another<br />
one!’” said the doctor.<br />
Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby.<br />
“Now don’t be in a hurry to put down that<br />
lantern, it seems there’s yet another one<br />
coming!” cried<br />
the doctor.<br />
The redneck scratched his head in<br />
bewilderment, and asked the doctor,<br />
“You reckon it might be the light that’s<br />
attractin’ ‘em?”<br />

Slow Dance<br />
Have you ever watched kids<br />
On a merry-go-round?<br />
Or listened to the rain<br />
Slapping on the ground?<br />
Ever followed a<br />
butterfly’s erratic flight?<br />
Or gazed at the sun into the<br />
fading night?<br />
You better slow down.<br />
Don’t dance so fast.<br />
Time is short.<br />
The music won’t last.<br />
Do you run through each day<br />
On the fly?<br />
When you ask How are you?<br />
Do you hear the reply?<br />
When the day is done<br />
Do you lie in your bed<br />
With the next hundred chores<br />
Running through your head?<br />
You’d better slow down<br />
Don’t dance so fast.<br />
Time is short.<br />
The music won’t last.<br />

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After<br />
the cut he asks about his bill and the barber replies, ‘I<br />
cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community<br />
service this week.’ The florist is pleased and leaves the<br />
shop.<br />
When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning<br />
there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for<br />
him at his door.<br />
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries<br />
to pay his bill, the barber again replies, ‘I cannot accept<br />
money from you. I’m doing community service this<br />
week.’ The cop is happy and leaves the shop.<br />
The next morning when the barber goes to open up there<br />
is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him<br />
at his door.<br />
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut,<br />
and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again<br />
replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing<br />
community service this week.’ The professor is very<br />
happy and leaves the shop.<br />
The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there<br />
is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen different books, such as<br />
‘How to Improve Your Business’ and ‘Becoming More<br />
Successful.’<br />
Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and when<br />
he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, ‘I cannot<br />
accept money from you. I’m doing community service<br />
this week.’ The Congressman is very happy and leaves<br />
the shop.<br />
The next morning when the barber goes to open up,<br />
there are a dozen congressmen lined up waiting for a free<br />
haircut.<br />
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental<br />
difference between the citizens of our country and the<br />
members of our Congress.<br />

The door bell, rings, and a man answers it.<br />
Here stands this plain but well dressed kid, saying<br />
“Trick or Treat!”<br />
The man asks the kids what he’s dressed up like for<br />
Halloween.<br />
The kid says, “I’m an IRS agent.” Then he takes 28%<br />
of the man’s candy, leaves, and doesn’t even say,<br />
“Thank you.”<br />

A Primer on Female Terminology<br />
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when<br />
they are right and you need to shut up.<br />
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an<br />
hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given<br />
five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the<br />
house.<br />
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means<br />
something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin<br />
with nothing usually end in fine.<br />
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!<br />
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal<br />
statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she<br />
thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time<br />
standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #<br />
3 for the meaning of nothing.)<br />
(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a<br />
women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think<br />
long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your<br />
mistake.<br />
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question or Faint.<br />
Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is<br />
true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ - that is PURE sarcasm and she<br />
is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ ... that will<br />
bring on a ‘whatever’).<br />
(8) Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying “up yours.”<br />
(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement,<br />
meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do<br />
several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a<br />
man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3.<br />
* Share this with the men you know, to warn them about arguments<br />
they can avoid if they remember the terminology.<br />

Why<br />
Pumpkins<br />
are Better<br />
Than Men<br />
1. Every year you get a<br />
brand new crop to choose<br />
from.<br />
2. No matter what your<br />
mood is, pumpkins are<br />
always ready to greet<br />
you with a smile.<br />
3. One usually makes a<br />
better pie.<br />
4. They are always on the<br />
doorstep there waiting<br />
for you!<br />
5. If you don’t like the<br />
way he looks, you just<br />
carve up another face.<br />
6. If he starts smelling up<br />
your place, you can just<br />
throw him out.<br />
7. From the start you<br />
know a pumpkin has an<br />
empty, mush filled head<br />
to begin with.<br />
8. A pumpkin is turned<br />
on (lit-up) only when you<br />
want him to be.<br />
Wise Old Man<br />
An older, white haired man walked<br />
into a jewelry store one Friday<br />
evening with a beautiful young gal<br />
at his side. He told the jeweler he<br />
was looking for a special ring for<br />
his girlfriend.<br />
The jeweler looked through his<br />
stock and brought out a $5,000<br />
ring. The old man said, ‘No, I’d<br />
like to see something more special.’<br />
At that statement, the jeweler went<br />
to his special stock and brought<br />
another ring over. ‘Here’s a<br />
stunning ring at only $40,000 the<br />
jeweler said.<br />
The young lady’s eyes sparkled<br />
and her whole body trembled with<br />
excitement. The old man seeing<br />
this said, ‘We’ll take it.’<br />
The jeweler asked how payment<br />
would be made and the old man<br />
stated, ‘By check. I know you need<br />
to make sure my check is good,<br />
so I’ll write it now and you can<br />
call the bank Monday to verify<br />
the funds and I’ll pick the ring up<br />
Monday afternoon,’ he said.<br />
Monday morning, the jeweler<br />
phoned the old man.<br />
‘There’s no money in that account.’<br />
‘I know,’ said the old man, ‘But let<br />
me tell you about my weekend!’<br />

Halloween Rocky<br />
One Halloween a trick-or-treater came to my door<br />
dressed as “Rocky”, in boxing gloves and satin<br />
shorts. Soon after I gave him some goodies, he<br />
returned for more.<br />
“Aren’t you the same ‘Rocky’ who left<br />
my doorstep several minutes ago?” I<br />
asked.<br />
“Yes,” he replied, “but now I’m the<br />
sequel. I’ll be back four more times<br />
tonight, too.”<br />

Last week I purchased a burger at a fast food place for $1.58.<br />
The counter-girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change<br />
when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She<br />
stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at<br />
the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to<br />
tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager<br />
for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she<br />
stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this?<br />
Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:<br />
1. Teaching Math In 1950s<br />
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of<br />
production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?<br />
2. Teaching Math In 1960s<br />
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of<br />
production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?<br />
3. Teaching Math In 1970s<br />
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of<br />
production is $80. Did he make a profit?<br />
4. Teaching Math In 1980s<br />
A logger sells a truck load of lumber for $100. His cost of<br />
production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment:<br />
Underline the number 20.<br />
5. Teaching Math In 1990s<br />
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and<br />
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the<br />
preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a<br />
profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?<br />
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How<br />
did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their<br />
homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like<br />
crying, it’s ok.)<br />
TOP TEN<br />
Houses to Avoid<br />
on Halloween<br />
1. Any house that seems to<br />
be imploding into a spacetime<br />
wormhole.<br />
2. Any house made of food.<br />
3. Any house whose only<br />
entrance goes to the<br />
basement.<br />
4. Any house where the<br />
high tension wires suddenly<br />
stop right above it.<br />
5. Any house that has<br />
ornamental lawn hyenas.<br />
6. Any house that growls,<br />
“Get out.”<br />
7. Any house where the<br />
furniture seems to be<br />
walking across the living<br />
room floor.<br />
8. Any house that looks<br />
like a giant pulsating orb<br />
floating 3 feet off the<br />
ground.<br />
9. Any house with various<br />
and extremely realistic<br />
statues in the front yard<br />
of people in odd “running<br />
away” poses.<br />
10. Any house that wasn’t<br />
there only a minute ago...<br />

The Six<br />
Phases of<br />
Work<br />
Phase 1<br />
You are listening to jazz<br />
-- Your first day at work is<br />
great. Your co-workers are<br />
wonderful, your cubicle is cute,<br />
and your boss is the best!<br />
Phase 2<br />
You are listening to pop music<br />
-- After a while you are so<br />
busy that you are not sure<br />
if you’re coming or going<br />
anymore.<br />
Phase 3<br />
You are listening to heavy<br />
metal -- This is what you feel<br />
like at month’s end.<br />
Phase 4<br />
You are listening to hip hop<br />
-- You become bloated due<br />
to stress, feel sluggish and<br />
suffer from constipation. Your<br />
coworkers are too cheerful<br />
for your liking and the walls<br />
of your cubicle are closing<br />
in. You have started thinking<br />
‘WHATEVER’ about your boss.<br />

Phase 5<br />
You are listening to GANGSTA<br />
RAP -- After more time<br />
passes, your eyes start to<br />
twitch, you forget what a ‘good<br />
hair day’ feels like as you just<br />
fall out of bed and load up on<br />
caffeine.<br />
Phase 6<br />
You are listening to the voices<br />
in your head -- You build a<br />
makeshift door on your cubicle<br />
to keep people out, You have<br />
a dartboard with your bosses<br />
picture on it in your cube, You<br />
wonder why you are even here<br />
in the first place.<br />
