Carla's Laws of Property:
1. If I like it, it's mine
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine
3. It I had it a little while ago, it's mine
4. If it looks just like mine, it's mine
5. If I think it's mine, it's mine
I love my "laws!"
Chocolate Calculator
Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH...DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!It takes less than a minute ...Work this out as you read.Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759... If you haven't, add 1758.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number.
The first digit of this was your original number.(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).The next two numbers are... ...YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!) 2009 IS THE ONLY YEAR THIS WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD THE Chocolate Calculator AROUND WHILE IT LASTS!
HOW TO LIE TO YOUR SCALES
· Weigh yourself with clothes on, after dinner... as well as in the morning, without clothes, before breakfast, because it's nice to see how much weight you've lost overnight.
· Never weigh yourself with wet hair.
· When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. In this case, blurred vision is an asset. Don't forget the earrings, these things can weigh at least a pound.
· Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because they are always five pounds off... to your advantage.
· Always go to the bathroom first.
· Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale lighter.
· Don't eat or drink in the morning until after you've weighed in, completely naked, of course.
· Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for at least half a pound of hair (hopefully).
· Exhale with all your might before stepping onto the scale (air has to weigh something, right?).
· Start out with just one foot on the scale, then holding onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other foot on and slowly let off of the rack. Admittedly, this takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally

Remember how people have fun trying to figure out how old their dog was in human years? But now there's a new fad. Figuring out how old your car is, in "people-years". We had fun calculating our listeners "car age". Here's the formula:
· Take the mileage on the car's odometer and divide by the model year.
· The result is your car's age if it were a person.
· Example: a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier with 131,824 miles on it.
· Do the math: 131824/1994 = 66.1.
· That car would be a 66 year old person
SO WHAT'S REALLY WOMEN'S WORK?
If you were a carpenter ... you'd probably be a man. A recent report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that only 2% of carpenters are women. Firefighters or civil engineers? Just a paltry 13% of each are female. But the report also revealed that 25% of all working wives earn more than their hubbies. Some of the fascinating fields in which females predominate or in which they've at least got a firm feminine foothold are:
· 85% of librarians are ladies
· 67% of psychologist are women
· 57% of the hands that tend bars are women
· 39% of financial analysts are female
· 26% of farmers and ranchers are female
· 22% of chiropractors are women
· 20% of chefs are female
