*grin* ... Anyone wish they had been born a few centuries earlier? Someone sent me some information about that time period. I will be sharing a little at a time.
A woman named Barbara is appearing on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." Regis: "Barbara, you've done very well so far --$500,000 and one lifeline left -- phone a friend. The next question will give you a million dollars if you get it right ... but, if you get it wrong you will drop back to $32,000 -- are you ready?" Barbara: "Sure, I'll have a go." Regis: "Which of the following birds does not build it's own nest? Is it ... A. Robin B. Sparrow C. Cuckoo D. Thrush Barbara: "I think I know who it ... but, I'm not 100% ... No, I haven't got a clue. I'd like to use my last lifeline and call my friend Carol, Regis." (ringing) Carol: "Hello..." Regis: "Hello Carol, it's Regis Philbin from 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.' I have Barbara here and she is doing really well on $500,000, but she needs your help to make it a million. The next voice you hear will be Barbara's and she'll read you the question. There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct answer. You have 30 seconds to answer. Fire away, Barbara." Barbara: "Carol, which of the following birds does not build it's own nest? Is it: A. Robin, B. Sparrow, C. Cuckoo, D. Thrush. Carol: "Oh Sheesh, Barbara, that is simple. It's a Cuckoo. Barbara: "You think?" Carol: "I'm sure." Barbara: "Thanks, Carol" (hangs up) Regis: "Well, do you want to stick with $500,000 or play on for the million, Barbara?" Barbara: "I want to play. I'll go with C-Cuckoo. Regis: "Is that your final answer?" Barbara: "It is." Regis: "Are you confident?" Barbara: "Yes, fairly. Carol's a sound bet." Regis: "Barbara, you had $500,000 and you said, "C-Cuckoo." You are RIGHT! You have just one ONE MILLION DOLLARS !!! Here's your check. Audience please put your hands together for Barbara." (clapping) That night Barbara and Carol go out and celebrate.

Granny's Test Scores A little girl was talking to her grandmother. She asked, "Grandma, how old are you?" The grandmother replied, "Now dear, you shouldn't ask people that question. Most grown-ups don't like to tell their age." The following day, the girl had another question. "Grandma, how much do you weigh?" Once again the grandmother replied, "Oh, honey, you shouldn't ask grown-ups how much they weigh. It isn't polite." The next day the little girl was back with a big smile on her face. She said, "Grandma, I know how old you are, "You're sixty-two. And you weigh 140 pounds." The grandmother was a bit surprised and said, "My goodness, how do you know?" The girl smiled and said, "You left your driver's license on the table, and I read it." Grandmother said, "Oh, so that's how you found out." The girl said, "That's right, and I also saw on your driver's license that you flunked sex."
