WELCOME to TUESDAY October 17, 2023
Here’s The Story….
On October 13, 1944, the Durham N. C. Sun Reported that a Durhamite had been
brought before a Judge Wison in traffic court for having parked his car on a
restricted street right in front of a sign that read “No Stoping.”
Rather than pleading guilty, the defendant argued that the missing letter in the sign
meant that he had not violated the letter of the law. Brandishing a Webster’s
dictionary, he noted that stoping means:
“Extracting ore from a stope or, loosely, underground.”
“Your Honor”, said the man, “I am a law-abiding citizen and I didn’t extract any ore
from the area of the sign. I move that the case be dismissed.”
Acknowledging that the defendant hadn’t done any illegal mining, the judge declared
the man not guilty and commented, “Since this is Friday, the 13th,
anything can happen, so I’ll turn you loose.” 😳😳😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY TUESDAY, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“Researchers have published a letter from a Harvard student in 1743 asking his
parents for money. On the bright side, just this year his student
loans were finally paid off.” -Conan O’Brien
“Indonesia’s anti-drug chief is proposing that the country put narcotics offenders
in a jail on an island surrounded by crocodiles. The plan is to send the inmates food
supplies every day but they will have to survive on their own. This already sounds
like a reality TV show I would totally watch.” -James Corden
“New research has found that contrary to popular belief, it could be beneficial for
women to eat and drink while in labor. Though I don’t think the other people in
the restaurant would be too happy about it.” -Seth Meyers
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
One day a man passed by a farm and saw a beautiful horse. Hoping to buy the
animal, he said to the farmer: “I think your horse looks pretty good, so I’ll give you $500 for him.”
“He doesn’t look good, and he’s not for sale,” the farmer said.
The man insisted, “I think he looks good and I’ll up the price to $1000!”
“He doesn’t look so good,” the farmer said, “but if you want him that much, he’s yours.”
The next day the man came back raging mad. He went up to the farmer and screamed,
“You sold me a blind horse! You cheated me!”
The farmer calmly replied, “I told you he didn’t look so good, didn’t I?” 😳😳😎
Monday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“My brother is in a wheelchair because of a freak accident as a kid. One day we were playing touch football and he fell off the roof.
Answer: Outside Providence!
“Outside Providence” is a funny movie about a teen, Tim, who is forced to go to a prep school in Connecticut for his senior year. Although hilarious, this flick is not original. It has the usual teen movie components. The lead character chased the popular girl, there was the usual feud with the adult in charge, and plenty of hijinks. Tim Dunphy said this when he was explaining why his brother was in a wheelchair. Tim loved his brother more than anything, and would never let him feel bad about himself because of the wheelchair.

Tuesday’s Quizzler is….
Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?
One day a scholar came to the court of Emperor Akbar and challenged Birbal to answer his questions and thus prove that he was as clever as people said he was.
He asked Birbal: “Would you prefer to answer a hundred easy questions or just a single difficult one?”
Both the emperor and Birbal had had a difficult day and were impatient to leave.
“Ask me one difficult question,” said Birbal.
“Well, then tell me,” said the man, “which came first into the world, the chicken or the egg?”
“The chicken,” replied Birbal, very confidently.
“How do you know?” asked the scholar, a note of triumph in his voice.
What did Birbal answer to this?
