RE: Kinda neat<br />Dunaruna, you are amazing. Have you heard the one about the three men sharing a room and when they split up the cost it always comes up with an exrta dollar. When the hand calculator first came out there was trick by which the answer when read backward read shelloil. How many other tricks does the group have up it sleeve?

There was no extra dollar. Two dollars was counted twice and three dollars not counted.

Yes sir, that's the trick. Figures don't lie, but liers figure.<br />Naw, 8 is a far cry from B and the 2 would be in the wrong place, just wouldn't hang right.

Or as the Yanks would say, "he threw you a curve"<br />If you have to explain a joke it takes a lot off of it, but essentially Bennet says to Bogie, I didn't that any civilised person would begrudge me a little water for coffee. Bogie says, "who's not civilized" and the decks Bennet. <br />Do you know the one about finding the number that some one is thinking of? Works on the same principle as the phone numberthingy. <br />Please call me Ray, Aldo.
