I can't get off now!Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round!
Technically, the elephant isn’t going as fast as it has to cover less distance (smaller circumference) than the horses and lion do for each turn of the merry-go-round.You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is another galloping horse but your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the horse in front of you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round!

Well worth sharing!A truck driver walks into a cafe on the Hume Highway with a full-grown emu behind him.
The waitress asks for his order.
The truckie says, "I'll have a hamburger, chips and a coffee." He turns to the emu, "What about you?"
"Sounds good to me, I'll have the same," the emu replies.
The waitress returns with their orders. "That'll be $21.50 please."
The truckie reaches into his pocket, pulls out the exact change and pays her.
The next day, the truckie and the emu return. He repeats his order, "A hamburger, chips and a coffee, please." The emu repeats, "Sounds good. Same for me, please."
Once more, the truckie reaches into his pocket and produces the exact amount.
This is their routine for a couple of days. One night, the two enter again.
"I guess you'll have the usual?" asks the waitress.
"No, it's Friday night. I'll have a steak, baked potatoes and a salad," says the truckie. "Sounds great, same for me, too," says the emu.
The waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $62.65."
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress can't hold back her curiosity any longer. "You’ve really got me there, mate. How do you manage to always have the exact change every time?
The truck driver grinned. "Well, a few years back, I was cleaning out my shed and stumbled on an old lamp. When I polished it up, a genie popped out and granted me two wishes. My first wish was that anytime I had to pay for something, I could just reach in my pocket, and the exact change would be there."
"That's brilliant!" said the impressed waitress. "No need for a million bucks... you'll never run out of money!"
"Exactly," said the truck driver, smiling. "Whether it's a pack of gum or a new car, I've always got the exact amount!"
The waitress, still eyeing the emu, finally curiously asked, "So, what about the emu?"
The truck driver sighed and shrugged. "Well, my second wish was for a tall bird with long legs and a great personality who'd agree with everything I say."
This one made me laugh out loud. It shouldn't have. Sorta stupid, actually. But it did! Thanks!EXERCISES FOR SENIORS
You know how important exercise is, as we grow older. Here are a few suggestions. I start by standing outside behind the house and, with a five-pound potato sack in each hand, extend my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there as long as I can.
After a few weeks, I moved up to 10-pound potato sacks, then 50-pound potato sacks and finally I got to where I could lift a 100-pound potato sack in each hand and hold my arms straight out for more than a full minute!
Next, I started putting a few potatoes IN the sacks, but I would caution you not to overdo it at this level.
