Thought some of you might like this. Parable of Isms. Socialism: Communism: Fascism: New Dealism: Nazism: Capitalism: And for you hunters/mathematicians....... Thirty birds sit on the upper branches of a tree. If a so-called "sportsman" fires a volley of buckshot and kills "one half" of "two thirds" of them, how many birds would be left? ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

None. No bird would stay after the first shot. Carry's mother had four children not to mention a rather unhealthy fixation about monetary names. The oldest child was named "Quarter". The second child was named "Dimeond". The third child was named "Nicklass". What was the fourth child and only girl likely named ?
