I don’t know except they both get drawn twice a week. I don’t pay much attention, but it was over $300 million and I figured i’d give it a go.

Send this out. I think it should go viral. Remind them of what they voted for.

Best band in the business.

The unemployment numbers
Are just aliquant at best
If you take a big sniff
They do ont pass that test

Higher here, lower there-
And skewed at every stage
There is no wondering why
No one is on the same page

Since this administration
Can’t get the numbers right
November is when they need
To leave and say good night

[secret garden]

Amen sister! A+ for you.

[Texan5]

Thank you!

[secret garden]

You are welcome.

"Eh? (scratching head...)"

Ah, I see what happened. I misread your post.

I thought you had used only plus signs and were missing a three, as in:

3 + 3 + 3 + (3/3) = 10

My apologies. (I should, appropriately, "get my eyes checked", but it hasn't helped.)

Carry on.

Oy.

That was not your usual run-of-the-mill Bar Mitzvah!

[secret garden]

Crazy, right? Speaking of crazy, I was just reading the comments on an article in the Guardian. Those people are certifiable.

I have been a guest, and an entertainer, at many Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, but their have never been professional pyrotechnics! :-)
