JOKE OF THE MONTH
I was having problems with my computer so I called Richard, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. He took out a notebook and wrote PICNIC down. Curious, I asked him what PICNIC meant. “Problem In Chair Not In Computer”.
 
The math teacher saw that Larry wasn’t paying attention in class. She called on him and said, “Larry! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?” Larry quickly replied, “NBC, FOX, ESPN, and the Cartoon Network!”
