Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.

He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"

"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Obama frowned, and then asked, "but how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"

The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle."

The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me."

"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.

Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice presidential choice the same question. "Joe, answer this for me.

Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one."

Biden went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer.

Finally, Biden ran into Sarah Palin out eating one night. Biden asked, "Sarah, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child
and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Sarah Palin answered right back, "That's easy, it's me!"

Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak with Obama.

"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Sarah Palin!"

Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, "No! You idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON , D.C.

I'm going on a happy theme of "At least I haven't lost anything today." Sometimes that's the best I can do, and surprisingly, it's often enough for me. bounce

Time for beddy-bye. We start working on our quarterly newsletter at the Center tomorrow. That's going to be another nightmare.

My boss wants to put everything she can think of in there and we're limited to 12 pages -- two of them show the menus at the free kitchen, two of them show the calendars for two months and that leaves only 8 pages - one of which is the listing of our services, phone numbers, etc. which brings us down to seven available pages. We cram everything we can on those pages and always end up having to cut stuff which she swears will go in the next newsletter but, surprise, we run out of room then too. If she had her way, and we had the funding, she'd print one every week.

So, until tomorrow, play safe an win big. woot

In this economy, $5 is 1 and 1/5 gallon of gas and that's not a little win. It's also more than a third of month's bus pass for me and you do NOT want to know the percentage of my sister's income. So "little" win is a big deal in my estimation. You could even buy some Magnum bars with it -- the new measurement I use.

my daughter had bought a box of recipe secrets and when I opened it, it only had I envelope instead of two, so the next day I called the company and first she gives me a hard time, says that can not happen because the boxes are weighted , well she says she will send out a coupon. When the coupon came it was for soup secret-not something we usually use and she had wanted the missing envelope of what she had purchased. there happen to be a survey that came with the coupon, I filled it out and told them that we were not satisfied with how things where resolved. A week later received 3 coupons for recipe secrets and 1 coupon for Magnum bars---YUMMY !!!! wootwoot
