I was going to say a scale. But I beat mine into submission. It didn't come out of a box that way, he-he

You are driving a semi (truck) and pulling a long trailer that is completely enclosed. Inside the trailer is a buzzard that weighs 40 pounds, it is sitting on the floor. The trailer is 20 feet long, 10 feet high, and 8 feet wide, it weighs 1000 pounds. So, you are hauling 1040 pounds.
How much will your haul weigh if the buzzard begins to fly inside the trailer?

[quote=Phyllis-Folk/Myth]If a train station is where the train stops and a bus station is where the bus stops, what is a work station?

As i site at my work station reading blogs and forums I'm thinking this is definitely the place where work stops.

Well I say it would be 1040 - because even though the buzzard is in the air it has to flap its wings to stay up there. So, every time it moves its wings it is displacing the air with the force of its weight. Now I am really pondering about that.

If a white chicken lays a white egg and a brown chicken lays a brown egg why doesn't a black chicken lay a black egg? a little joke here; This upper midwest farmer went to the drug store and told the pharmacist," I have a sick cow and a sick wife so I need medicine for both but for goodness sake don't get them confused because I don't want anything to happen to my cow!!! One last laugh here; The sign in front of the cafe said,"Eat here and diet home.

I love it! Those are good ones for a laugh, Dave. We all need laughter in life.
I like things that make me ponder. Like:
When sign makers go on strike, is there anything written on their signs?

I was sitting at a concert last Friday. Brewer and Shipley, 70's rock stars were playing. The heat index was over 100 degrees, and I wore my most comfortable cotton tie dye shirt. I looked at our friends and said, " I'm not making a political statement with this shirt; I wore it because it's cool."
Roger smiled and said, "No, it was cool 40 years ago!" He cracked me up!
