Okay, I'm back.  It's amazing how much spam goes away when you change your email address!!

Now for some fun!

We took my sons, ages seven and five, up to Friendship Park for a picnic. 
My seven year old read the sign with the playground rules to his brother.
"Do not jump on the merry-go-round when in motion." "Go down the slide while
sitting, only." "Only one child on a swing at a time." (There were a good
twenty rules.) 
The boys promised to obey them if I would let them play without Daddy
standing by. So, I joined my wife at the picnic table. 
Just before it was time to eat, I went over and watched them play. They were
obeying the rules, that is, all but one. On the tall semicircular slide,
they were coming down head first! 
I took them over to the posted regulations. We read them, again. I asked the
boys what they had to say for themselves. 
"Oh, don't be silly, Dad...no one uses the slide rule anymore!" 

Note:  This was not my kids, my youngest is soon to be 14 and yes she knows what a slide rule is and how to do the basics!

When they say "instant credit," don't they actually mean "instant debt"?
