More riddles. :D
Everyday, Tom tied two sacks of salt to the back of his donkey and headed to market to sell it. On the way, they passed a stream, and one day, the donkey jumped in to cool himself. As a result, a lot of the salt dissolved into the water, ruining the salt for Tom, but making the donkey's load a lot lighter. The donkey got wise to this and the following day he jumped in the stream again, and the next day, and the next.. Tom knew he had to teach the donkey a new lesson, but what could he do to make sure the donkey stayed out of the water in the future?
Show contentTom must load the sacks not with salt but with sponges. When the donkey jumps in the stream and gets the sacks wet, they'll get heavier.
An explorer was once captured by a tribe whose chief decided that the man should die. However, the chief was a reasonable man and gave the explorer a choice: the explorer was to make a single statement. If it was true, he would be thrown off the cliff. If it was false, he would be eaten by lions. What clever statement did the explorer make that forced the chief to let him go?
Show contentThe explorer made the statement, "I will be killed by loins." If the chief feeds him to the lions, his statement will be true, so he should have been thrown off the cliff. But if he is thrown off the cliff, his statement will have been false. The chief had to let the explorer go.

Retirement Thoughts

If you are (like most of us) putting money in investments for your future retirement days, here is my suggestion for possible investment strategies.

If you had bought $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00
With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00
With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left

After calculating this portfolio that started with an initial $3,000.00. Investment your new portfolio balance would equal approx. $70.50

However if you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser  (the beer,
 not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then returned the cans
for the deposit you would have $214.00 (refund .10 cents per can in Michigan)

Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is my new retirement program, I call it my 401keg program.

Please not that the above is not necessarily sound advice but it could be fun advice…take it with a grain of salt or a couple pickled eggs…

P.S Children, please don't follow or listen to this. Its just a joke  :tongue3:
