The Final

 

At Yale University, there were four sophomores taking chemistry and all of them had an ‘A’ so far. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party.

They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Old Eli until early Monday morning.

Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they would explain to their professor why they missed it. They said that they visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tire.

As a result, they missed the final.

The professor agreed they could make up the final the next day. The guys were excited and relieved. They studied that night for the exam.

The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet. They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they thought! Each one in separate rooms, thought this was going to be easy … Then they turned the page. On the second page was written…

 

For 95 points: Which tire? ___________

Hahahaha!  That’s a good one! 

Have a great weekend, and remember – it was the left, rear tire.  😉

Thankfulness

It’s the 2nd Thursday of the month – that must mean it’s Thankfulness Thursday!  Not that there isn’t something to be grateful for every day, but after getting into the habit of doing a weekly thankfulness post over on my old blog, I’ve tried to commit to a monthly thankfulness post here.  I may have failed a time or 2.  *ahem!*

This month, I have something special to be thankful for.  My husband was in a car accident yesterday, a fender-bender, and he and the other person involved are unhurt.  That’s some major gratitude right there.

To top it off, a friend of ours from church helped pull out the dent enough to make it so the tire doesn’t scrape the fender anymore.  Extensive and expensive body work averted!  Yay!   The car, it ain’t pretty, but it runs.  Kinda like me, heh. 

I know how tenuous things like this can be.  We were in an accident several years ago in which our car was totaled, but thankfully (amazingly!) no one was seriously hurt there either. 

Too many times people don’t walk away from accidents, and they can happen in a heartbeat.  Life can change in a heartbeat.  Snowy, icy, dark roads only add to that.  How fortunate we are when things can be so much worse, but aren’t.

I’m also thankful that we’ve had no real sickness this month, plus, the kids are done with school for the year.

Steady as she goes!

What are you thankful for? 

Google Fun

Google does this thing now, when you save your photos to their cloud, they might add GIFs to some of your pictures.  This cracked me up – they made the lights on my little tree twinkle!  How cute!  😀

Your Undercarriage

 

I wonder how much he charges and does he work on American made cars?  Hmm.

Tricks and Treats

Guess what I found in my drafts folder?  My post-Halloween post!  *facepalm* 

*****

Of all our Halloween decorations, I think these are my favorite.  I love putting them up on the transom above the door.  For some reason, it cracks me up.  🙂 

I suppose that would make more sense if you knew we had 9’ ceilings. 

I have this bizarre horror image of a face peering in at me through the transom window.  Maybe my beloved will use that in one of his stories one of these days. 

It makes awesome shadows on the floor too, when the light shines through during the day.  😀

We had the kids carve their first pumpkin this year.  I know, I know, some of you are horrified at the thought that my children, ages 8 & 11, have never carved a real pumpkin before. 

We just never have, for like a decade.  We picked up a lighted plastic one when my son was little, and that’s been our go-to pumpkin ever since.  Our son named him and everything.  And neither of the kids had the slightest interest in sticking their hands in “pumpkin guts.” 

This was our first “family” contribution.

The October centerpiece.  Hard to tell from this shot, but I found these cute candies shaped like skulls and bones.  And of course, I had to use pumpkin seeds.  🙂

After the family pumpkin rotted (after only like 3 days!) we went out and grabbed some more.  One for each of us to carve.

The boy.  It makes me laugh because, without realizing it, he pretty much captured the expression he had in one of his baby pictures.

The happy pretty princess, and her daddy who’s wondering how much time he has before he has to invest in a shotgun.

The mom, realizing she forgot to pull dinner out of the freezer.

For trick-or-treating, our little angel went as an angel.

And I went as the mom who likes to paint her nails in weird ways.

When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried.

Terrified, the drunk ran and got the town magistrate to come and listen to it.

When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, “Ah, yes, that’s Mozart’s Ninth Symphony, being played backwards.”

He listened a while longer, and said, “There’s the Eighth Symphony, and it’s backwards, too. Most puzzling.”

So the magistrate kept listening; “There’s the Seventh… the Sixth… the Fifth…”

Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, “My fellow citizens, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just Mozart decomposing.”

Blonde Password
During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:

When asked why such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital.

Seeing The Signs

A car was driving very slowly down the highway. A policeman spotted the slow moving vehicle and pulled it over. “What have I done wrong, officer?” the driver asked.

“You are going 26 miles per hour on a major highway. There is a law against that,” the officer says to the driver. “You must go at least 50 miles per hour.”

“But when I turned on the highway, the sign said 26!” the driver replied.

The officer laughed out loud, “that’s because this is highway number 26! The 26 isn’t the speed limit!”

The driver leaned back in her car seat and the policeman saw another woman sitting beside her, looking as pale as a ghost. “What happened to her?” the officer asked.

“I don’t know, but she has been that way ever since we got off of Interstate 160.”

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to smile.  It makes people wonder what you’ve been up to.  😉
