A college student sends a letter to his folks back home
Dear Mom and Dad,
The school is really great. I am making a lot of friends and studying very hard. My professors are also super cool! With all my stuff, | simply can’t think of anything I need, so if you would like, you can just send me a card, as I would love to hear from you. Miss you guys!
Love, Your son
Dear Son,
I Know that astronomy, economics, and oceanography are enough to keep even an honor student busy. Do Not forget that the pursuit of knowledge is a noble task, and you can never study enough.
Love, Mom, and Dad

The $5000 Desk
ks the shopkeeper how much it is.
“That desk is going for $5000,” says the shopkeeper.
“$5000 for an old desk? That’s outrageous!” exclaims Stanley.
“Ah,” says the shopkeeper, “but this is a magic desk.” He turns to the desk and asks, “Desk, how much money do I have in my pocket?”
The desk taps one of its legs on the floor four times. The shopkeeper turns out his pocket and, sure enough, there are four dollar coins there.
“Wow, that’s pretty cool,” says Stan. “Alright, desk, how much money does my wife have in her bank account?”
At this, the desk goes wild, manically banging all four of its legs up and down repeatedly for over five minutes non-stop.
“Darn, where did she get all THAT from?” wonders Stanley.
