It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive
a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower,
snowblower or vacuum cleaner.
~Ben Bergor
Graduation speeches were invented largely in the
belief that college students should never be released
into the world until they have been properly sedated.
~Garry Trudeau
Have no fear of perfection–you’ll never reach it.
~Salvador Dali
I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being
with the soul of a clown which always forces me to
blow it at the most important moments.
~Jim Morrison
I’d much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry,
they can wear cute clothes, and they are the first to be
rescued off of sinking ships.
~Gilda Radner
Women are like cell phones. They like to be held and talked to,
but push the wrong button, and you’ll be disconnected.😳

In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.” The interviewer
said, “Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks’ vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical
and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased
every 2 years – say, a red Corvette?” The Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow! Are you kidding?”
The interviewer replied, “Yeah, but you started it.” 😁😎

Thursday’s Quizzler is…….
Two professors were sitting in front of an open fire at the local university’s elite Professor’s Club. They were chatting about some of their new classes. During the course of their conversation, one of the professors asked the other if he would like to sample some fine Irish Whiskey while they talked.
“Absolutely! That would be splendid!”
“Waiter! Bring me a bottle of your finest Irish Whiskey please”, called the Professor.
“Certainly sir”, replied the waiter.
A few minutes later, the waiter returned and said, “Here you go sir. This bottle of ‘Jameson’ is one of Ireland’s best single malt grain whiskeys. I hope you both enjoy it!”
“Thank you waiter. I’m sure we will. Can you let me look at the bottle please before you go?”
The waiter passed the bottle to the Professor. The label read:
“Jameson Genuine Irish Single Malt Grain Whisky”.
Without opening the lid of the bottle or tasting, smelling or examining its contents, the Professor became very angry with the waiter saying, “This is NOT genuine Irish whiskey. It is a fraud and absolute rubbish! Take it back!”
By simply reading the label, and without smelling, examining or tasting the fluid first, how did the Professor know that the contents of the bottle was not Irish whiskey?
