This is a great trick that always works. You'll need somebody else
besides your computer for this one....


First: Ask someone if they are a good automobile driver
(they'll give some response that really doesn't matter)

Next: Ask them to spell "shop" (yes, just spell the word "shop")

Finally: When they do (and they must for this to work), ask them
"What do you do when you come to a green light?"

Listen to the response. It seems to work every time. I've been using
it for as long as I can remember. Don't ask me how it works, go ask
a pyhc. major or something.

OBjoke: (repeat with a german accent)

"There were two peanuts walking down the strasse, one was a assaulted.....

Better yet,

Ask someone to say folk 5 times fast.
Then ask them what you call the white part of an egg.
Most often is 'yolk' but actually it's the egg white!

How 'bout asking someone an english grammar question:

Is it: "IS the yolk of an egg white, or ARE the yolk of an egg white?"

People are so taken up with the IS and ARE, they don't remember that
the yolk of an egg is yellow.
