Jesus is the number one priority in my life, and without Him I wouldn't be where I am, doing what I'm doing, and I try very hard to give Him the Glory in everything I do. It's hard sometimes, though, to be thankful for everything He's blessed me with. Life is too short to sit around and whine and complain about how hard things are. When it comes right down to it...EVERYONE has a hard life. You're not alone in your pain so don't act like it. It comes down to three "L's": Live for Jesus, Love everyone, Let it all out. Don't take the little things in life for granted.

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-pound possum. Trick question: possums don't climb trees.

2. Which of the following cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard? 66 Ford Fairlane, 69 Chevrolet Chevelle, 64 Pontiac GTO. The Pontiac since it's oldest. (Duh)

(20 gal/hour) / (2 gal/hour/radiator) = 10 car radiators


4. A woodcutter has a chain saw that operates at 2700 rpm. The density of the pine trees in a plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweiser’s will it take to cut the trees? 1 beer per tree = 1081 beers


5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the decrease in the ozone layer? Who cares, ain't nobody but tree huggers gonna worry anyways!

6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed? 0, the dogs sleep in the trailor

7. A man owns an Indianapolis house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has 5 children. Can each of the children place a mobile home on the man's land? Yes.

8. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep grade on a secondary road at 45 mph. The brakes fail. Given the average traffic on secondary roads, what are the chances that it will strike a vehicle that has a muffler? 50% (assuming a cherry bomb counts as a muffler)

9. A coalmine operates a NFPA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Area. The mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during the shift? 3 packs per shift/miner = 360 packs!

10. At a reduction in gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town that has been bypassed by the interstate to breed a country-western singer? Another trick question, its dependent on whether any of the family move to nashville as young'ens or not.

Darn. I only got one wrong. But of course, I'm not an engineer, and I'm not from Indiana. So I never really had a chance...
