2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
6. He who laughs last thinks slowest.
7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
14. OK, so what's the speed of dark?
15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?
20. Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, "What the heck happened?"
22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

> Last week I purch ased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this?
Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
1. Teaching Math In 1950s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100 His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's OK.
> In 1986, Mikele Mebembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from
>Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a
>young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant
>seemed distressed, so Mikele approached it very carefully.
> He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a
>large e piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as
>he could, Mikele worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which
>the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the
>man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several
>tense moments. Mikele stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being
>trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudl y, turned, and walked
>away. Mikele never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
> Twenty years later, Mikele was walking through the Chicago Zoo with
>his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the
>creatures turned and walked over to near where Mikele and his son Tapu were
>standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mikele, lifted its front foot
>off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then
>trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
> Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mikele couldn't help wondering if
>this was the same elephant. Mikele summoned up his courage, climbed over
>the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the
>elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped
>its trunk around one of Mikele's legs and slammed him against the
>railing, killing him instantly. Probably wasn't the same elephant.

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous On the pulpit,
I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.
He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:
1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5) Jacob wage red his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spooky.
8) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him.
9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10) We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this and eat it for it is m y body." He did not say "eat me"
12) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
13) Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's and not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
