WELCOME to TUESDAY DECEMBER 9th, 2025
Here’s The Story…..
Last week I purchased a burger for $1.58. I handed the cashier $2.00 and started digging for some change.
I pulled out 8 cents and gave it to her. She stood there with $2 and 8 cents. She looked bewildered,
holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register.
I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager
for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she burst into tears.
The incident got me thinking about how our kids were learning math in school…. (or not).
Teaching Math In 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5ths of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5ths of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1970: A logger exchanges a set “L” of lumber for a set of “M” of money.
The cardinality of set “M” is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing
the elements of the set “M.” The set “C,” the cost of production, contains 20 fewer points than set “M.”
Represent the set “C” as a subset of set “M.” Answer this question: What is the cardinality of the set “P” of profits?
Teaching Math In 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and
his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math In 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you
think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How
did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees. (There are no wrong answers)
Teaching Math In The 2000s: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $120.
How does Goldman Sachs determine that his profit margin is $60?
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT MONDAY people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

to stop and appreciate the fact that, A) We don’t have to scrape ice off our windshield every morning,
and B) I can wear the same pair of teal-colored dolphin shorts to work every day since 1985.” -Jimmy Kimmel

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
A man gets a flat tire right in front of the psychiatric hospital.
He struggles to park his car on the side of the road.
Then, as usual: jack, spare wheel, lug wrench and he unscrews the wheel.
But the four nuts roll and fall into the sewer drain.
The manhole cover cannot be opened; the nuts have disappeared.
The man looks desperately left and right and sits down discouraged on the sidewalk.
An inmate who had observed the entire scene from the beginning through the
barred windows of the facility shouted at him:
Hey, you idiot! What are you doing here?
Don’t ask questions, my friend. I got a flat tire and while changing the wheel, the lug nuts fell into the drain.
You’re making things complicated for yourself! Just take a nut from each of the other wheels.
Then you’ll have three per wheel. That’ll hold until the next garage visit!
The man does as he is told and shouts to the prisoner:
And what are you doing in this asylum?
The answer is legendary…
We are here for madness, my friend, not for stupidity!
Madness is one thing, stupidity is another. 😮😮

I constantly collide into all the others,
The only one of 16 without colors.
Associated with English and banking and breaking,
The answer is right there for the taking.
Answer: The cue ball on a pool table.
English is when spin is put on the cue ball to make it curve or bounce differently off the rail. Banking is when a shot is played off the rail. Breaking is the first shot played in a game of pool. The hint refers to the fact that chalk is placed on a cue before it strikes the cue ball.
