WELCOME to Tuesday October 15, 2019
THINKING OUT LOUD……..
* Why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing grocers
don’t groce and hammers don’t ham?
* Why do some people use the expression ‘Good Grief’? What is a Bad Grief?
* Why is the plural of goose-geese and not the plural of moose-meese?
* If two mouses are mice and two louses are lice why aren’t two houses hice?
* If the plural of mouse is mice, what is the plural of spouse?
* Why do we say something is awfully good? What exactly do we mean by this?
* Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
* Can you have only one plural?
* Have you ever wondered why just one letter makes all the difference
between here and there?
* Can you be frequent infrequently?
* Why do people say ‘This and That’ as opposed to ‘That and This’?
* If the plural of octopus is octopi and platypus is platypi what is the plural of schoolbus?
* Why is sphinges the plural of sphinx if there’s only one?
* What’s the difference between new and brand new?
* Why do North Americans fill a form out but the English fill it in?
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a Happy Tuesday people and
whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman!

Monday’s Quizzler is….
Two men working at a construction site were up for a challenge, and they were pretty mad at each other. Finally, at lunch break, they confronted one another. One man, obviously stronger, said “See that wheelbarrow? I’m willin’ to bet $100 (that’s all I have in my wallet here) that you can’t wheel something to that cone and back that I can’t do twice as far. Do we have a bet?”
The other man, too dignified to decline, shook his hand, but he had a plan formulating. He looked at the objects lying around: a pile of 400 bricks, a steel beam, the 10 men that had gathered around to watch, his pickup truck, a stack of ten bags of concrete mix, and then he finalized his plan.
“All right,” he said, and revealed his object.
That night, the strong man went home thoroughly teased and $100 poorer. What did the other man choose?
Answer: He looked the man right in the eye and said “get in.”
