A friend was complaining that her boyfriend would not say "I love you," even if
explicitly asked to do so. The only exception, she said, was when they were in fact in the act
of making love. Then, if asked, he would say the sacred words. I suggested that she should not take too much comfort
in the exception. When making love, I explained, men will say anything. "He'd tell you he's the Easter Bunny if that's
what he thinks you want to hear," I told her. The conversation rattled on from there. A couple of weeks later, she
related the following. "We were in bed, making love and I said, 'Tell me you love me'." He said, "I love you." I said, "Tell
me you're the Easter Bunny." He stopped for a second, and said, "I'm the Easter Bunny." "So I slapped him." The poor
guy probably still doesn't know what happened.

Brainteaser A farmer gave 90 eggs to his three children: 50
to the eldest, 30 to the next and 10 to the youngest. Then he told
them, "Each of you must sell the eggs in the same quantity and
the same price and you must have the same yield." How could this be possible? (Answer next page)

.Why
not….? Something to do today….
Spend the day at Lake Cargellico – a wonderful inland lake that will entrance
you. Just a couple of hours north of Temora (through West Wyalong) it is worth
the trip to enjoy a delightful picnic lunch beside the lake and even participate in
some water spots (during summer, of course). It really is worth the trip – and
make sure your call in to the Visitor Information Centre there to learn more
about the sights around the town.
Unbelieveable “facts”
Who has the time to create these unbelieveable “facts”?? See if
you can believe ANY of them…
"SCUBA divers cannot pass gas at depths of 33 feet or below."
But after the first dozen they became so ridiculous as to be
completely unbelievable. However, they still have some entertainment
value. So I have listed a few of the highlights for you below.
The first McDonald's restaurant opened for business in 1952 in
Edinburgh, Scotland, and featured the McHaggis sandwich.
The typewriter was invented by Hungarian immigrant Qwert Yuiop,
who left his "signature" on the keyboard.
The volume of water that the Giant Sequoia tree consumes in a 24hour period contains enough suspended minerals to pave 17.3 feet of
a 4-lane concrete freeway.
Because printed materials are being replaced by CD-ROMs,
microfiche and the Internet, libraries that previously sank into their
foundations under the weight of their books are now in danger of
collapsing in extremely high winds.
In 1843, a Parisian street mime got stuck in his imaginary box and
consequently died of starvation. [This one I kind of believe.]
Until 1978, Camel cigarettes contained minute particles of real
camels.
University of Virginia researchers released a study promoting the
practice of nose picking, claiming that the health benefits of keeping
nasal passages free from infectious blockages far outweigh the
negative social connotations.
If you put a bee in a film canister for two hours, it will go blind and
leave behind its weight in honey. [Seems like somebody forgot about the Conservation of Matter law.]
Due to the angle at which the optic nerve enters the brain, staring at a blue surface during sex greatly increases the
intensity of orgasms. [Get out the paint brushes and rollers, boys.]
In WWII the US military planned to airdrop over France propaganda in the form of Playboy magazine, with coded
messages hidden in the models' turn-ons and turn-offs. The plan was scrapped because of a staple shortage due
to rationing of metal. [That would have been quite an achievement since Playboy was founded by Hugh Hefner in
1953.]
ODD NEWS THE OBVIOUS RESULT: A school in Kent, England, called for police help when a man burst
into the school threatening, "You're dead." No one responded. Over the course of an hour school officials called the
999 emergency number five times without any police response. The man eventually left without hurting anyone.
"He was clearly high on drugs," said headteacher Stuart Pywell. "I told him the police had been called but he just
kept threatening us." Classes were out, but "at least a dozen children and staff" were still at the school, he said.
The incident was shortly after a rash of school killings in the U.S. – and just a few days after a member of the
Police Authority in Norfolk suggested emergency callers exaggerate circumstances to speed up police responses. Kent's Deputy Chief Constable Jim
Barker-McCardle said there would be an investigation into the failure to
respond to the emergency calls, but didn't offer any explanations as to what
was more important to officers on duty.

HINTS You can wet wooden blinds when cleaning, but don't soak them.
Clean them in place instead of removing them, as you would for other types
of blinds.
Use a rubber dry sponge (found at hardware or paint stores) to remove dust
and residue from both fabric and vinyl blinds. Simply wipe the dry sponge
firmly across the blinds.
Brainteaser answer: First, each child should sell the 7 eggs for $1.
And what remains they would sell it for $3 each. 1st child $1.00 (first 7
eggs) + $9.00 (last 3 eggs) = $10.00 2nd child $4.00 (first 28 eggs) +
$6.00 (last 2 eggs) = $10.00 3rd child $7.00 (first 49 eggs) + $3.00 (last 1
egg) = $10.00
