If you are a fan of the Karate Kid movies, you know where the concept for this game came from.

Give it a try and don't give up too fast.  In all my efforts at trying it I have managed to only catch 2 flies with the chopsticks.   So, don't get frustrtated.  Remember - "Wax on, wax off."

Not that I need reminding, but time flies much too fast. When I was a teenager, I used to whine to my parents, "Just once I would like to see Aerosmith in concert before I die."

The other day my 13-year-old son, an aspiring rock star, blew my mind with

this: "Dad, I'd like to see Aerosmith just once before they die."

I don't speak Russian.  But I think the story about this cat person goes something like this.

Announcer:  "Welcome back.  Now we have another story about a crazy person.  We know you like these stories so we keep showing them to you.  Lot's of people like cats for pets.  Some people even have 2 or 3 cats.  But this woman has many more cats than that.  Yes, perhaps she has some medical problem that could be discovered by a CAT scan."

Cut to story . . . .

Interviewer: "Sonya, you have so many cats!  130 cats in fact. Many people think you are nuts - that your sickle does not quite reach your plow. What do you say to these people."

Sonya: "I am not a crazy woman like so many of my neighbors say.  It is not like I have 131 cats!  Now that would be goofy. No, I have only 130 cats and I see harmony and balance in that.  Please excuse me now, I must send in my weekly transmission to the mothership or this, your home planet, will be destroyed."

Judi tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because the car had 250,000 miles.

One day, she told her problem to a friend she worked with at a salon. Her friend told her, "There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal."

"That doesn't matter," replied Judi, "if only I can sell the car."

"Okay," said Judi's friend. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will turn the counter in your car back to 50,000 miles. Then it should not be a problem to sell your car anymore."

The following weekend, Judi made the trip to the mechanic. Two weeks later the friend asked Judi, "Did you sell your car?"

"No," replied Judi, "why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!"
