I should have explained......if you go back and click on my LINK, then click on the map, it will enlarge it. I scrolled north to 5th. Avenue to see if the city hall had the correct labeling. City hall was not shown, but just to the left of where city hall should be on the map, there is (on Edwards Alley?) something called "Team ECCO".Vrede wrote:"I don't know what you mean by either of those references."Mr.B wrote:"...I'm not certain where the aquarium really is!
(Team ECCO :?: )"
By pointing your cursor to that, it describes it an aquarium/marine biology :?:

Re: Just for Fun
A country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department store. In fact it was the biggest
store in the area--you could get anything there. The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before?"
"Yes, I was a salesman in the country," said the lad. The boss liked the cut of him and said, "You can
start tomorrow and I'll come and see you when we close up."
The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o'clock came around. The boss arrived
and asked, "How many sales did you make today?"
"One," said the young salesman. "Only one?" blurted the boss.
"Most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale worth?"
"Thirty-eight thousand, three hundred and thirty-four dollars," said the young man. "How did you
manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.
"Well" said the salesman, "This man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium hook andfinally
a really large hook. Then I sold him small fishing line, a medium one and a huge big one. "I asked him where
he was going fishing and he said down the coast. I said he would probably need a boat, so I took him down
to the boat department and sold him that 22 foot schooner with the twin engines. Then he said his VW
probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I took him to the car department and sold him a new SUV."
The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, "You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook?"
"No," answered the salesman. "Actually, he came in to buy a box of Tampons for his wife and I said to
him, "Your weekend's shot, you may as well go fishing."

Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year old white male, a resident of Wilmington, N.C. in a pumpkin patch at 11:38pm Friday, November 8th.
Davidson will be charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency and public intoxication.
The suspect allegedly stated that as he was passing a pumpkin patch, he decided to stop. "You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside,
and there was no one around here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't." he stated in a phone interview from the Brunswick County jail.
Davidson went on to state that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his "purposes",
cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged "need".
"I guess I was just really into it, you know?" he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process, Davidson failed to notice the
Brunswick County Sheriff's patrol car approaching and was unaware of his audience until Deputy Brenda Taylor approached him.
"It was an unusual situation, that's for sure." said Deputy Taylor. "I walked up to (Davidson) and he's....uhhh....just working away at this pumpkin."
Deputy Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Davidson.
"I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you are "doing it" with a pumpkin?'
He got real surprised as you'd expect and then looked me straight in the face and said, "A pumpkin? Dang!....is it midnight already?"

Re: Just for Fun
A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his church's members.
At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door.
He took out a business card and wrote 'Revelation 3:20' on the back of it and stuck it in the door.
When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned.
Added to it was this cryptic message, 'Genesis 3:10..'
Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.
Revelation 3:20 begins 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock.'
Genesis 3:10 reads, 'I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.'
'A cheerful heart is good medicine' (Prov. 17:22)

Bottom line from the article - in raw scores, private school students in 4th and 8th grade fared better, but when socio-economic factors were smoothed, there was no significant difference in performance. Means the private schools get to take their pick; public schools have to take everybody. Nothing new there, but obviousity doesn't seem to be apparent to the intentionally ignorant.

Of course it's a joke. And based on what? A continuing effort to wipe out public schools, which isn't a joke.Mr.B wrote:I ain't believing this...you really took that seriously, didn't you?O Really wrote: "The "fun" part is in once again showing the standard right-wing mantra be dribble."![]()
It's a cartoon, O Really....a joke, etc.
Probably would have been funnier, though, before Scott Walker sacked and pillaged the teachers in Wisconsin and the huns of the NC legislature played Sherman's march through the school systems.
