Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58.
The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change
when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her.
She stood there, 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 stood there
and cried. Why do I tell you this?
Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
1. Teaching Math In 1950s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100 His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
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.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish
and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of
animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this
so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this
way of making a living? Topic for class participation after
answering the question:
How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down
their homes? (There are no wrong answers — if you feel
like crying, it’s ok)
6. Teaching Math In 2007
Un hachero vende una carretada de Madera para $100. El
costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

Mood: hungover, Music: bad countryYou gotta love Robin Williams!
Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin
Williams to come up with the perfect
plan. What we need now is for our
UN Ambassador to stand up and
repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to
argue with this logic!)
"I see a lot of people yelling for peace
but I have not heard of a plan for
peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good ole boys", we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 30 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 30 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available
to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort
to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given
to the army. The people who need
it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer
saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

Subject: The Inventor Story........
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson,
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said,
St Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him
Arthur said, "Yeah, that's me..."
God commented: "Well, what's the big deal in inventing
Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally spoke,
"Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman???"
God said, "Ah, yes."
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion;
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds;
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much;
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust;
5. And the maintenance costs are outrageous!"
"Hmmmm, you have some good points there..."
riding my invention than yours!"

Mood: boredHere's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus,"
offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix:
The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a
new
form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will
pair
off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework
tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story.
You
will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me.
The
partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph
to the
story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first
person
will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to
re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story
coherent. There is be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and
anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is
over
when both agree a conclusion has been reached."
The following was actually turned in by two of his English students:
Rebecca and Gary.
THE STORY:
(first paragraph by Rebecca)
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The
chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now
reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he
liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind
off
Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him
too
much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the
question.
(second paragraph by Gary)
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron
now
in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than
the
neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he
had
spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation
17," he
said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No
sign
of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish
particle
beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's
cargo
bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and
across the cockpit.
(Rebecca)
He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt
one
last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had
ever
had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless
hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4.
"Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel,"
Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously
excited
her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth,
when
the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to
read, no
television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all
the
beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to
become a
woman?" she pondered wistfully.
(Gary)
Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live.
Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mother ship launched
the
first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks
who
pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through the
Congress had
left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were
determined to destroy the human race.
Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships
were
on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire
planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their
diabolical
plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The
President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the
ocean
floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion,
which vaporized poor, stupid, Laurie and 85 million other Americans.
The
President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow
this!
I'm going to veto that treaty!
Let's blow 'em out of the sky!"
(Rebecca)
This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My
writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.
Gary)
Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at
writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. "Oh, shall I have
chamomile
tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F--KING TEA? Oh no, I'm such
an air
headed bimbo who reads too many Danielle Steele novels!"
(Rebecca)
Asshole.
(Gary)
Bitch
(Rebecca)
F__K YOU -- YOU NEANDERTHAL!
(Gary)
Go drink some tea - whore.
(Teacher)
A+ - I really liked this one
