Ten things that suck in (Replay) poker:
- In Omaha, when you draw a top full house someone comes up with a quad.
- You get the five minutes break when you are left with only a few chips.
I have to think of the other eight. Somebody may fill in.
1st Caroler sings: “We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy New Year.”
2nd Caroler sings; “We won’t go until we get some…” And, the 1st Caroler interrupts, speaking:
“I know those are the words to that song, but. Somehow, that just doesn’t sound right in a world of #Metoo.”

An elderly Italian workman wants a job, but the foreman won’t hire him until he passes a little math test. “Here’s your first question,” the foreman said. “Without using numbers, represent the number 9.”
“Withouta numbers?” the Italian says, “Datsa easy.” and he proceeds to draw three trees.
“What’s this?” the boss asks.
“Ave-a you gotta no brain? Tree and tree and tree makes a nine,” says the Italian.
“Fair enough,” says the boss. “Here’s your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99.”
The Italian stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree . “Ere-a you go.”
The boss scratches his head and says, “How on earth do you get that to represent 99?”
“Each-a da trees is a-dirty now. So, it’s dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Datsa a 99.”
The boss is getting worried that he’s going to actually have to hire this elderly Italian man, so he says, “All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100.” He figures no way this guy can pull it off.
The Italian stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, “Ere-a you go. One hundred.”
The boss looks at the attempt. “You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!”
The Italian leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says,
“A little dogg-a come along and a-poop by each-a tree. So now you gotta dirty tree and a turd,
dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, dat-a make-a one hundred. So, whenna I start???”

I love this, Jan. It reminds me, though.
True story: As a young boy, we had an Italian garbage man named Gianni Valvano. He had immigrated shortly after WWII. Speaking little English, and with little formal schooling, he had what we now call “street smarts.” Gianni saw a need that he could meet, borrowed some money and opened his own rubbish and garbage removal service. By the time we met him in the late 1950s, he had repaid the loan, paid off the trucks and his house about half a mile from ours. Gianni and my Grandfather Pittenger sponsored my dad into the Freemasons. Dad and Gianni would sometimes sit drinking beer on our patio. At 12 or 13, I sometimes overheard them, but mostly ignored the “grown-up talk.” I do recall this one thing Gianni said, though:
“I buy it for one, I sell it for three. I quite happy with my two percent profit.”
Clearly, it didn’t require a lot of education to make money. I suppose I should’ve gone into the garbage business. Who knew?

So I am sitting on a bus the other day behind a woman and her young son. Her son kept turning around and making funny faces at me. After a few minutes, I got tired of his antics …. So I said to him, When I was young my mother told me if I kept making ugly faces like that my face could get stuck that way. He then replied, Well then you cant say she didn’t warn you
