My high school friend, Janet, and I roomed together at college. We started in the summer as soon as we left high school. She met her husband Leo there in the Fall; he was a Junior and we were 18-year-old innocents. They married on New Year's Eve so they could have a few days off together from work and school. New Year's Day afternoon I got a call from her to come over quick; they had the flu so bad they couldn't get up and were too bashful to call anyone else to help. For a day or two I repeatedly washed and dryed their sheets and jammies and heated up soup and brought them juice and kleenex. While they slept I read a book. It's really funny now, but it wasn't then. Two weeks later I met Dale. On the 3rd of July, Janet was maid of honor at our wedding. So what I knew about honeymoons was that you eat soup and cough and sleep and read a book and take your jammies off and on a lot, and sweat and moan and somebody gets a headache and you wash and dry the sheets a lot and eventually you run out of juice. Ours was kind of like that, too. ha ha ha ha ha. p.s. Happy 50th Birthday, Janet! We just sent this email all over the internet! Love you both!

I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault.....it was the asphalt!"

Every time the air raid siren sounded, people rushed to the nearest air raid bomb shelter. One person who never took shelter was a professor of statistics. He argued that there are seven million people in Russia and the probability of a bomb actually dropping on him was very small. Then suddenly one day when the air raid siren was sounded the professor rushed to the air raid shelter along with his neighbours from the building. "Lost your nerver professor ?"asked one of his aquaitances. " NO" said the professor " but I have realized that the bombs do not observe the laws of probability. There were seven million people and one elephant in Russia . Yesterday they got the elephant." Sent by nanditha Send this story to a friend 3
