This Day in History
1921 - Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act, establishing national quotas for immigrants.
The graduate with a Science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with a Liberal Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
Two lawyers were walking along, negotiating a case.
"Look," said one to the other, "let's be honest with each other."
"Okay, you first," replied the other.
That was the end of the discussion.
Two women ran into the court of King Solomon, fighting.
"My daughter was to marry this man, but this woman claims that the man was to marry her daughter!" one of them yelled.
"There is a simple solution," said the King. "I shall cut the man in two and each of your daughters can have a piece."
"Fine by me!" said the first woman.
"No, don't, I would rather let the other girl marry him than that!" cried the second.
The King didn't hesitate for a minute. "Fine." he said. "The first woman my have him."
"What?" protested the other? "She wanted him cut in two!"
"Indeed," said the king. "She shows the true spirit of a mother-in-law!"
One day while at her job as a bank loan officer, Patty Black, had a frog hop onto her desk and say,
"I would like to apply for a lily-pad improvement loan."
Patty looked incredulously at the frog and said, "I'm sorry, we don't loan money to frogs."
To which the frog replied, "I have collateral," as he handed her a small ceramic trinket.
Not wanting to be impolite, Patty said, "I don't know. I'll have to talk to the bank manager."
She walked back to the manager's office and said, "There is a frog out here, asking for a lily-pad improvement loan,
and this trinket is all he has for collateral."
The bank manager picked up the trinket and looked at it carefully.
Then smiling he turned to Patty and said, "Why it's a knick-knack, Patty Black. Give the frog a loan."
Words to Live By?
- The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat tire.
- It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to 'borrow' your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
- Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
- No one is listening until you make a mistake.
- Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
- If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
- If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
- Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
- If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
- Don't squat with your spurs on.
- Duct tape is like the force; it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
