Thursday, December 15, 2011Good morning crew,
Testing at the school this weekend. That means by Saturday night all my fingers will be mangled. One of my jobs as an instructor is to hold the boards for all the kids to break during their test. And while their aim is not always all that great even the little ones can still generate a lot of force. And my fingers usually pay the price.
Fortunately today is payday so Saturday night I will be able to go out and anesthetize the pain with a few drinks. Just so long as I'm able to hold a glass.
Laugh it up,
Joe

'Like' Deal of the Day Here***"A guy went loose in a mall in New Hampshire smashing things with a hammer and he's charged with feeling like we all do in a mall around Christmas time." -Conan O'Brien
***"The Library of Congress has partnered with Twitter to store every tweet ever posted. The Library of Congress is home to some of the most important documents in history including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and now it will so include tweets from Gretchen44, who likes strawberry balsamic vinegar on her salad." -Jimmy Kimmel
***"They have discovered a planet just like Earth, 600 light-years away and they are calling it 'Superearth.' They have affordable housing and better schools but other than that, it's just like Earth." -Dave Letterman
***I returned home from my ninth business trip of the year with a severe bout of jet lag?induced foot-in-mouth disease. As we prepared to go to sleep that night, I wrapped my arms around my better half, gave her a kiss, and announced, "It's good to be in my own bed, with my own wife!"
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*A stock analyst and a Wall Street broker went to the racetrack. The broker suggested betting $12,000 on a certain horse. The analyst was skeptical; he had never been to the races before and wanted to understand the rules and look over all the horses before placing a wager.
"You're too cautious and detail-oriented," the broker criticized as he placed his large bet. His horse won and he raked in a bundle of money.
"What's your secret?" the analyst asked.
"It's simple," the broker explained. "I have two kids... ages two and six...so I add their ages together and bet on number nine."
"But two and six is eight, not nine!" protested the analyst.
"See!" the broker replied, "I told you you're too cautious and detail-oriented."
