Watch for the punch line.

It's pretty scary.

In a Purdue University classroom, they were discussing
the qualifications to be President of the United States.
It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural
born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in
on how unfair it was of the requirement to be a natural
born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this
requirement prevented many capable individuals
from becoming president.

The class was taking it in and her rant,
and many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her
argument by stating, "What makes a natural born
citizen any more qualified to lead this country
than one born by C-section?" OOPS!

Enough said.

Once Upon A Time

A group of people were having lunch together.........

Between 2,200 and 2,600 guests were invited to have lunch with the president.

The organizer decided to arrange the seating so that each table would accommodate an equal number of guests, and the number of guests at each table would be an odd number.

The organizer determined that the following arrangements would not work :

3 guests per table
(2 people would be left without seating)

5 guests per table
(4 people would be left out)

7 guests per table
(6 people would be left out)

9 guests per table
(8 people would be left out)

When he tried seating 11 guests per table,
EVERYONE had a place to sit.

How many people were invited to dine with the president?

"You better pray that will come out of the carpet."

3. My father taught me about TIME TRAVEL .

"If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"

4. My father taught me LOGIC .

" Because I said so, that's why."

5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC .

10. My mother taught me about STAMINA .

"You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone."

11. My mother taught me about WEATHER .
