Wesly Sprinkel R.I.P. Haiku

It's probably not a "true" Haiku...but I'll only improve if I write probable sucky ones first. I haven't written anything since grade school. Be kind.

Uncle Wes RIP 11-2005

Test for Dementia

I am not implying that any of you are candidates for dementia, but it never hurts to take a test like this and find out early on while there is still time to do something about it I just took this test and its too late to help me

Test for Dementia

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately . OK? Let's find out just how clever you really are....Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)



First Question: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second! Try not to screw up next time.Now answer the second question,but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?

Second Question:If you overtake the last person, then you are...?(scroll down)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this, are you?


Third Question:Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it. Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30 .Add another 1000 . Now add 20 . Now add another 1000. Now add 10 . What is the total? Scroll down for answer..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator! Today is definitely not your day, is it? Maybe you'll get the last question right.... ....Maybe.

Fourth Question: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini,4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary. Read the question again!

Okay, now the bonus round: A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair ofsunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



He just has to open his mouth and ask... It's really very simple.... Like you!


KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE "SMART PEOPLE" IN YOUR LIFE

I dated Eddie Van Halen!

I didn't actually date EVH, but I DID briefly date a kid in High School that looked like EVH. Since I graduated nearly 20 years ago, what makes me write about him you ask? I received a quicknote from him through Classmates.com recently. I have thought about him every time I hear ANY Van Halen (not Van Hagar) song.

He was a sweet kid, intelligent, good looking (obviously) & kind. He would walk to my house to see me in the dead of winter. HELLO! In Northern Illinois it gets VERY cold! I also laugh every single time I hear "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" by Elmo & Patsy. I laugh because I remember hearing it when we went out with a kid named Don. We were in the Pizza Hut parking lot & I fell on my butt because I was wearing penny loafers & slipped on an icy patch outside. OMG! I laughed SO hard I thought I was going to pee my corduroys! I can't imagine what I must have looked liked, laying in the PH parking lot laughing like a loon. Those were good times.

I also remember after he broke up with me, I saw him with Becky. I admit that didn't know her, but I remember thinking "OMG! What can he possibly see in THAT bitchy dog!" Like I said, I never knew her, it's just the impression I got from her....even BEFORE I dated Burke.

The following year every time we ordered pizza from "Happy Joe's", Burke would deliver to our house. Just pizza (Get your mind out of the gutter!)

He ended up marrying a nice girl that played the Flute in the band. She was always nice to me but I didn't really know her either. They have kids & are still married. How cool is that! Being married to your HS Sweetheart!

I had to date MANY, MANY flakes before I found the love of my life. I'm just glad that I finally found him. How lucky am I! I have a wonderful man in my life, two beautiful little girls, a new home & have been doing TONS of self-improvement work. I'm feeling more content & am regaining my self-confidence little by little. My dear sweet husband loves me & all of my baggage. Like I said...I am a lucky lady.
