“According to a new report, America’s teenagers are 30th in the world in math. Luckily,
America’s teenagers will never understand the report because they’re 85th in reading.” -Conan O’Brien

“Big news from the Oxford English Dictionary. For all of you kids who don’t know what a dictionary is,
it’s a small portion of the Internet, printed out, kept on a shelf, and opened once every three years
during a Scrabble game.” -Jimmy Kimmel

“The CEO of Domino’s Pizza announced that he is stepping down this summer. He’ll carefully pack

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Neighbors of ours had a terrible disagreement over a patio they wanted for their backyard. The wife
had rather grand ideas, while the husband wanted costs kept to a minimum. The wife won out, and
the construction bill climbed higher and higher. I dropped by one day, when the patio was near completion, and was surprised to find the husband smiling from ear to ear as the workmen smoothed over the surface. I remarked how nice it was to see a grin replace the frown he had been wearing lately. “You see where they’re smoothing that cement?” he replied. “I just threw my wife’s credit cards in there.” 😳

Mondays’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“I pity your country ignorance from my heart.”
“And I despise your citified claptrap.”

Answer: Tom Jones!
In this scene 18th century London resident Miss Western (Edith Evans) is visiting her country farmer brother, Squire Western (Hugh Griffith), and speaks to him from a second-floor balcony. She considers him an uncouth country bumpkin. He considers her a pretentious citified busybody. She says line one and he replies with line two. She also says, “Brother, as I am here to stay awhile I shall sign a peace treaty with you.” This hilarious comedy tells the story of Tom Jones (played as a young adult by a young Albert Finney), a child of unknown parentage who is raised as a gentleman in 18th century England. “Tom Jones” is based on English author Henry Fielding’s classic 1749 novel “The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling” (the version with Albert Finney, Susannah York, and Hugh Griffith).
