The sad part is I had people in my college engineering courses who were just as stupid, thought they were cute until the parents cut their tuition.

Okay, I have one as well.
Our local nuke plant was going through serious renovations, there were strict regulations on appearance and cleanliness, one of the painters spilled some sort of super paint on the floor and could not get it cleaned up, so instead he painted a nice sharp lined perfect square on the floor to hide the spill. When the inspectors came through they raised all sorts of questions about the square painted on the floor, one of the plant engineers spoke up and said it was a paint test.....................The inspectors documented it, cataloged it and every year the area is inspected for wear and further documented.

If you were going to have fried eggs & break the yolk, make an omelet. If life hands you a lemon, make lemonade. Really, that's our next generation of politicians!!!

Thanks for the tips Craig, I'll make sure to use 'em when I take the SAT tomorrow!

Where would I be without this board?

I have this e-mail on file, as my good friend JLee sent it to me recently. I'm posting another picture you didn't have posted.

I hope it doesn't offend any women . . . it shouldn't, as most women don't like math anyway?!

I asked a potential employee during an interview if the had been all the way through school. He said that in fact he had gotten all the way throuth school. His next statemant was "all the way through--- In the front door and out the back door". I hired him on the spot and he has been a valuable employee for over 20 years.
