I received this e-mail today. Try it out, it worked for me.


This is pretty neat how it works out.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST
It takes less than a minute.......


Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (try for more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)


3. Add 5. (for Sunday)


4. Multiply it by 50 - I'll wait while you get the calculator................




5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1752.... If you haven't, add 1751..........


6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.



You should have a three digit number ....



The first digit of this was your original number
(I.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).




The next two numbers are ..........







YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it IS!!!!!)


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2002) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?

That type of joke is amazingly similar to the kangaroo joke I posted a few weeks ago.

Ok well both aren't jokes, but they are number games.

And that's the last good birthday for most people. It's all downhill once you hit 24 and enter your mid 20s.

Math is fun.

I can't believe I just said that. :p

All I know is, I've been feeling like an old man ever since I entered my mid 20s(24). It just don't feel the same as 23 and under, I don't feel as industructable as I used to, hell I'm even obeying the speed limit!! People in their 30s are starting to look young to me, and I can feel 30 looming on the horizon, :eek:,........I sense it's time to get out the bengay and geritol. :lol:
