Missing the Point.

Step Up:  

 

 

There are too many conversations that pass each other in the night. 

 

The Fed gas tax holiday is just one more government give-away program and it doesn’t solve problem 1. It is just predictable political expediency. It's tough to solve problems. It takes guts to solve problems, and lately politics doesn't allow for courage. 

 

Today is National Kissing Day. That is better than arguing about politics. 

 

Beethoven had to get rid of hos chickens because all they said was, Bach, Bach, Bach. 

 

The Question: 

Brain challenger department: See if you can explain the meaning behind these two one liners. 1. “This sentence contains exactly threee erors.” 2. A mathematician wanders back home at 3 a.m. and proceeds to get an earful from his wife. “You’re late!” she yells. “You said you’d be home by 11:45!” “Actually,” the mathematician replies coolly, “I said I’d be home by a quarter of 12.”

I believe one of the reasons we may not fall off the cliff economically as we have in the past, is because Technology can right the ship much faster now than in the past. And technology manufacturers are always creating products for the future, not trying to maintain reputations from the past. Technology giveth and Technology taketh away, but it never stops moving forward. 

 

Did you know that the “English Muffin” was invented by an American named Thomas in America. In England they call these traditional breakfast delights. “American Muffins”! 

 

In the long run aside from the angst and noise, almost everything ends up somewhere in between the extremes.  

 

This past weekend in New Hampshire icy cold winter weather killed one hiker and stranded there who had to be rescued from the White Mountains. Despite what you hear about the national heat wave, even here at sea level I had to unpack my fleece again.  

 

C, E-flat, and G walk into a bar. The bartender shows them the door and says, “Sorry, we don’t serve minors.” 

 

How to eliminate all of the air travel cancellations. Stay home 

 

The Answer: 

3 Errors -- The first two errors? The extra E in “three” and the missing R in “error.” The third error? The fact that there are only two errors. 11:45 -- Divide 12 by four, or a quarter. Now do you get it? (It’s three.) 

 

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
