I bet this is a true story.?ÿ It was first told to me by Mark Twain.

Hmmm. Among the anachronisms there, that model of phone (Western Electric 500 series) was first put in use in 1950, about 3/4 century after the first phone call, and the first automobile came 1/4 century after his call.?ÿ?ÿ Still amusing.

That is a Pig-tailed macaque. Higher order "monkeys" hire them as cheap labor, kinda like a rodman. ?????ÿ

This short story is straight off of Facebook, so you know it must be true.?ÿ It is story #44 in a long list of people talking about dating people who turned out to be so stupid they broke up with them.?ÿ This one had a surveying-related topic.

True North Is More Like A Feeling

Was on a hike and was following a trail I had read up on online. We get to a fork and I say, ƒ??Okay now we need to go north."?ÿ ƒ?She says, ƒ??havenƒ??t we been this whole timeƒ?? Confused, I look at her and ask why she says that. She replies, ƒ??North is the direction in front of you, yeah?ƒ??ÿ Still not entirely sure about the origins of that logic.

@holy-cow?ÿ

I was dating a woman some decades ago and hiking a large park with her and her two kids.?ÿ It was 4:30 pm on a clear day.?ÿ I said lets go north and she had no clue how to pick north out of the quadrants using the early evening sun.?ÿ That wasn't what broke us up, but by comparison I was impressed on an early date with the one I later married when she wanted to look at the road map and could talk directions.

Walking down the sidewalk headed into the courthouse this morning and noticed an out-of-state car with a front license plate that read, "KIS THS".?ÿ I was immediately reminded of A-Ron Tippin and this classic song.
