DUMMIES

When Jill decided to improve her computer skills, she threw herself into it
with enthusiasm. Every week she'd check out five or six instructional books
from the library.
After about a month the librarian commented, "Wow! You must really be
getting knowledgeable by now."
"Thanks," Jill said. "How can you tell?"
The librarian explained, "Only two of the books you're checking out this
week have 'For Dummies' in their titles."

SETTING CLOCKS
===============
Every morning for years, at about 11:30, the telephone operator in a
small Sierra-Nevada town received a call from a man asking the exact
time. One day the operator summed up nerve enough to ask him why the
regularity.
"I'm foreman of the local sawmill," he explained. "Every day, I have
to blow the whistle at noon, so I call you to get the exact time."
The operator giggled, "That's really funny," she said. "All this time,
we've been setting our clock by your whistle."
