What The Old Countrty Lady Had Heard.(PG-13)

One day an old lady started to knit in her rocking chair which was faced away from an opened window and her televison was turned off.Suddenly her neighbors Stanley and his friend Alice droved up after shopping in the city.

Talking about a car seat cover Stanley just had bought, here is what the old lady had heard:

Alice: "Okay, Stanley, unzipped it , take it out and put it over the car seat. I will  stretch it  far as it goes and tie it under the car seat". "Ooooh! My God Stanley, that is way too small ! I tell you what, let's drive back to the city and get you a new one"

On returning with a wider seat cover the old lady still in her rocking chair knitting heard more than she bargin for:

Alice: "Okay, Stanley like before unzip it and place it on top of the car seat "

Referring to one of the elastic straps Alice instructs Stanley: "Okay,Stanley pull on it, and stretch it out. and keep stretching it". "Oooh, dang, Stanley, you broke it. Now tie a knot in it !"

"That's it !" The old lady tought to herself  "I had heard enough.I'm going to my other room and take a nap, geeze !"

Let's Dispell The Black Cat Myth

One day I was eating inside of KFC and  Nancy a  female friend of mine who I haven't seen for a ages came through the door. She saw me and said "Awww, Stanley" she hugged me and kiss me on the cheek then something weird happen:  A teenage boy nearby  who saw the kiss  ran out of the door crying. We  figured that he must be one of the people from our town's mental health center.He even left his food on the table.

We're not psycologists, but we did assumed to get over  something like that he'll have  to face it head on. For example making him watch couples kissing over and over again ,in either real life or on TV, until it no longer bothers him.

But like I said before we are no psycologists.He may be even conditioned that way, so he will have no choice but to go back to his  psycologist over and over again to pay her/him more and more money.

So I am guessing for people that had their minds "poisoned" with the black cat myth since they were kids ,will have to walk pass a black cat's path over and over again until they are no longer scared and finally realize all this black cat business is  nonsense.

Maybe even start a club like the "Superstitions Dispelling Club". "The Black Cat Club" already has been taken and it's a nightclub in Washington, D.C.

.Just because something is read in a book or someone says something does not make it true.

Now there are some cats (felines)  you need to be afraid of like lions, tigers, pathners etc. That is understandable but to be afraid of a little black  house cat that goes" meow" that's ridiculous. See 30 second video below:

October 27th is National Black Cat Day in England and Ireland. August 17 th in the United States

Thunderstroms And Coin Flipping

You may be thinking this blog is about people flipping coins in a thunderstrom to see if  lighting would hit them. Kind of dangerous but amusing.

Actually  I am going to show how to figure how far a thunderstorm is.After  that, the odds of flipping a coin, believe it or not the odds change when the coin is flipped more than once.

One day I was watching the new Mcgyver and his friend Jack counted off 11 seconds and said the thunderstorm is 2 miles away. Was he right? Sort of ,it was actually 2 1/5 miles away.

Once you see  lighting  start counting off the seconds until you hear thunder and divide that result by 5.

 It won't be exact but it will be a ballpark figure. Remember lighting can strike 10 miles away from the storm. So if you figure the thunderstrom is 15 miles away doesn't mean you're safe; Go inside a safe building.

Also if a thunderstrom seems like it came to an end, wait another 1/2 hour it may start up again.

Now for the odds of flipping a coin either heads or tails. 

When the coin is flipped only once that is of course is 1 out of  2 odds; But your odds change when you flip the coin more than once.

If you filp the coin twice your odds are 1 out of 4
                       1/2  x  1/2 = 1/4

Flipping the coin three times your odds are 1 out of 8
                       1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

Flipping the coin four times the odds are 16 to 1.
Flipping the coin five times the odds are  32 to 1.
and so on. Why would a person need to know this? 
Probably to win money on quiz shows.   :)
