Couple of emails received over the past few months. I don't seem to get sent jokes as such any more, just these bizarre things:

-----------------

A Primary School teacher had twenty-six children in her class.  She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.  It's hard to believe these were actually done by Primary School children. Their insight may surprise you.  While reading, keep in mind that these are 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
 
1. Don't change horses until they stop running.
2. Strike while the wasp is close.
3. It's always darkest before Daylight Saving Time..
4. Never underestimate the power of termites.
5. You can lead a horse to water but How?
6. Don't bite the hand that looks dirty.
7. No news is impossible
8. A miss is as good as a Mr.
9. You can't teach an old dog new Maths
10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning..
11. Love all, trust me.
12. The pen is mightier than the pigs.
13. An idle mind is the best way to relax
14. Where there's smoke there's pollution.
15. Happy the bride who gets all the presents.
16. A penny saved is not much.
17. Two's company, three's the Musketeers.
18. Don't put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and You have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as Stevie Wonder .
21. Children should be seen and not spanked or grounded.
22. If at first you don't succeed get new batteries.
23. You get out of something only what you  See in the picture on the box
24. When the blind lead the blind  get out of the way.
25. A bird in the hand is going to poop on you.

And the WINNER and last one!   

26. Better late than Pregnant

-----------------

The Theory of Intelligence
I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this .

'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

Sorry, I'll try harder next time big grin

Funny you should raise this. I was reading one of those "interactive" books today (I don't mean the talkie ones) to a 4 yr old girl.

The book was for 4-6 yr olds and apart from being clearly written for an American audience (dollars, cents and quarter-backs), it was poorly written and confused even myself and mum - taking the piss basically.

Thing is, in this time-poor age, I bet most parents don't even realise these days; and no one is obviously monitoring the quality or relevance either.

This is what happens when businesses and dodgy authors of questionable quality and motives get involved.
