Ponderisms

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Garden Rule" When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuabe plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFO's anymore?

IN the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weir and people take Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?"

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if he's going to look up there anyway?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

But Most Of All, Remember!
A good friend is like a good bra. Hard to find. Supportive. Comfortable. And always close to your heart.

Thoughts for the Weekend

Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctr Alt Deleat' and start all over?

If raising children was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever!

Old is When...

1. Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
2. You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
3. Getting a little action means I don't need fiber today.
4. Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
5. An all-nighter means not getting up to pee!

Signs of Menopause

1. You sell your home heating system at a yard sale.

2. You have to write post-it notes with your kids' names on them.

3. You change your underwear after you sneeze.

Games For When We are Older

1. Sag, you're it.
2. Hide and go pee.
3. 20 questions shouted into your good ear.
4. Kick the bucket.
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says Bend Over.
6. Musical recliners.
7. Simon says something incoherent.
8. Pin the toupee on the bald guy.

Teacher's Salary

Teacher's hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 months of the year!

It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do -- baby sit!

We can get that for less than minimum wage. That's right. Let's give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked, not any of that silly planning time.

That would be $19.50 a day (7:00 AM to3:30 (or so) PM with just 25 min. off for lunch).

EAch parent should pay #19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children.

NOW...
How many do they teach in a class, 30? So that' $19.50X30= $585.00 a day. However, remember they only work 180 days a year!!! We're not going to pay them for any vacations!

LET'S SEE...
That's $585X180=$105,300 per year.

What about those special teachers, and the ones with master's degrees?

Well, we could pay them minimun wage, and just to be fair, round it off to $7.00 an hour. That would be $7X 6 1/2 hours X 30 Children X 180 days = $245,700 per year.

Wait a minute ---- There's something wrong here!

Average teacher salary is $50,000/ 180 days (AFTER 15 YRS... I FINALLY MAKE 48,000) =$277/PER DAY/ 30 STUDENTS = $9.23/6.5 HOURS = $1.42 PER HOUR per student. A very inexpensive baby-sitter and they even try - with your help - to EDUCATE your kids!

WHAT A DEAL... And the parents don't even have to buy us pizza!
