Little Johnny and his family lived in the country, and as a<br />result seldom had guests. He was eager to help his mother<br />after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office.<br /><br />When the dinner was nearly over, Little Johnny went to the<br />kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie<br />giving it to his father who passed it to a guest. Little <br />Johnny came in with a second piece of pie and gave it to<br />his father, who again gave it to a guest.<br /><br />This was too much for Little Johnny, who said, "It's no<br />use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size."<br />__________________________________________________<br />A blonde got a job with the Public Works Department. She<br />was to paint lines down the center of a rural road. The<br />supervisor told her that she was on probation and that<br />she must stay at or above the set average of 2 miles per<br />day to remain employed. The blonde agreed to the<br />conditions and starts right away. The supervisor,<br />checking up at the end of the day, found the blonde had<br />completed 4 miles on her first day, double the average!!<br /><br />"Great," he told her, "I think you're really going<br />to work out."<br /><br />The next day, however, he was disappointed to find that the<br />blonde only accomplished 2 miles. The supervisor thought,<br />"Well she's still at the average and I don't want to<br />discourage her, so I'll just keep quiet."<br /><br />The third day however the blonde only did one mile and<br />the boss thought, "I need to talk to her before this gets<br />any worse."<br /><br />The boss pulled the new employee in and says, "You were<br />doing so great. The first day you did 4 miles, the second<br />day 2 miles, but yesterday you only did one mile. Why?<br />Is there a problem? An injury, equipment failure? What's<br />keeping you from meeting the 2 mile minimum?"<br /><br />The blonde replied, "Well, each day I keep getting<br />farther and farther away from the bucket."<br />__________________________________________________<br />Quote for the day:<br />"Worried about an IRS audit? Avoid what's called a red<br />flag. That's something the IRS always looks for. For<br />example, say you have some money left in your bank<br />account after paying taxes. That's a red flag."
