thediastema's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You do the math. Story Problems 1. Pioneer Theatre has 997 seats. If Copenhagen is selling to about 40 per cent capacity, and all the patrons only know the same three jokes, how many times can Door Usher Erin possibly hear the words, "O, you need tickets to get into this place?!" accompanied by a wry grin? 2. Hamilton always fails inspection the first time and passes after a few repairs the second time. Each visit to the inspection place sucks a few rays of sunshine right out of Dad's soul. After three years with Hamilton, how much does Dad regret purchasing the car? 3. If Dimples invites eighty people to Dinah's parties, and about twenty usually show up, what are the odds that one of them is going to be the monkey on my back and I'm going to have to deal with awkwardness? 4. Planck always gets up on the table immediately after Erin takes him off the table. If each visit to the table permits him one teaspoon of butter before he is caught, how many trips will it take for him to finish the whole stick? Bonus: What the hell's the butter doing where Planck can get to it? 5. ESSAY QUESTION What possessed HRH to ask me, yesterday, if I've been "seeing" Yuppie? No, seriously, what the hell?! ~ETK "I went to Las Vegas with $80 in change. I came home with $370. I would have to say that I did rather well." --Melissa 17:37 - 18 January, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
