q u o t e s o f t h e d a y
Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the
universe and he’ll believe you. Tell him a
bench has wet paint on it and he’ll have to
touch it to be sure. Murphy’s Law
If there is something you must do and you
cannot do it, you cannot do anything else.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic’s Notebook, 1960
How is it that our memory is good enough
to retain the least triviality that happens to us,
and yet not good enough to recollect how often
we have told it to the same person?
François Duc de La Rochefoucauld
The odds of going to the store for a loaf of
bread and coming out with only a loaf of
bread are three billion to one. Erma Bombeck
I tell you this, and I tell you plain:
What you have done, you will do again;
You will bite your tongue, careful or not,
Upon the already-bitten spot.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic’s Notebook, 1960
G u a r a n t e e d t o R o l l Y o u r E y e s!
The three bears had been having some trouble recently and had
ended up in family court. Mama and Papa bear were splitting up,
and baby bear had to decide who he was going to live with.
So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear to see what he thought
about living with either of his parents. When he asked baby bear
about living with his father, baby bear said “No, I can’t live with
Papa bear, he beats me terribly.” “OK,” said the judge, “then you
want to live with your mother, right?” “No way!” replied baby bear,
“She beats me worse than Papa bear does.” The judge was a bit
confused by this, and didn’t quite know what to do. “Well, you have
to live with someone, so is there any relatives you would like to stay
with?” asked the judge. “Yes,” answered baby bear, “my aunt Bertha
bear who lives in Chicago.” “You’re sure she will treat you well and
won’t beat you?” asked the judge. “Oh definitely,” said baby bear,
“the Chicago Bears don’t beat anybody.” 😁😎

Man hanks,
Ms Mggns.
Answer: The letter was written on a typewriter which has a problem with the top row of letters – they did not print. The letter should have read:
Dear Sir,
I would like to complain about the top row of my typewriter.
These letters appear not to work correctly.
As you can see, these letters are missing from this document.
I would be very grateful if you could correct this problem forthwith.
Many thanks,
Mrs Miggins.
