Look at that S-car go!

    There was once a snail who was sick and tired of his reputation for being so slow. He decided to get some fast wheels to make a difference.

    After shopping around a while, he decided that the Datsun 240-Z was the car to get. So the snail went to the nearest Datsun dealer and said he wanted to buy a 240-Z, but he wanted it repainted “240-S.”

    The dealer asked: “Why ‘S?’”

    The snail replied: “‘S’ stands for snail. I want everybody who sees me roaring past to know who’s driving.”

    The dealer didn’t want to lose the unique opportunity to sell a car to a snail, so he agreed to have the car repainted for a small fee.

    The snail got his new car and spent the rest of his days roaring happily down the highway at top speed. And whenever anyone saw him zooming by, they’d say: “Wow! Look at that S-car go!”

    Half or five tenths?

    Teacher: Would you rather have one half of an orange or five tenths?

    Gerald: I’d rather have the half.

    Teacher: Think carefully, and tell me why.

    Gerald: Because you lose too much juice when you cut the orange into five tenths. (SD-Agencies)
