Ahoj Pisis,
What a great entrance.
I always say the bodily effort isn't worthwhile.

What's new about you friend?
 
Speed Trap

A state trooper spied a car puttering along at 22 MPH. So he turned on his lights and pulled the driver over. Approaching the car, he noticed that five elderly nuns were inside, and they looked wide-eyed and terribly pale.
The driver pleaded with him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"

"Sister," the officer replies, "You weren't speeding, but driving slower than the speed limit can also be dangerous."

"I beg to differ, Officer, I was doing the speed limit exactly: twenty-two miles an hour!" the old nun said.

The trooper, chuckling, explained to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the elderly nun grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.

"But before I let you go, Sister, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car ok? These other sisters with you seem awfully shaken."

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute," the old nun said. "We just got off Route 119."
 
[This one's for Les..]

You know you are having a bad day, when others will take advantage of your situation to screw you even more.

Teaching Math 1950-2007


Last week I purchased 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?

Answer: Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950's

1. Teaching Math In 1950
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 1960
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 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80. Did he make a profit?


4. Teaching Math In 1980
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 1990
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. )


6. Teaching Math In 2007
