| by Baron Claude Borlz Last Writes you will always find on the last page of ABR, because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Plying his trade I received this letter from someone who claims to be a relative of a Mr. S. Stirrer. I’m not so sure, but here is the letter, which I believe is not worth the paper it was written on. Meet Jack Schitt For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, “You don’t know Jack Schitt!” Well, thanks to genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt was married to O. Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, and owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt. Against her parents’ objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock. Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition who was nick-named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt. Now when someone says, ‘You don’t know Jack Schitt,’ you can correct them. Sincerely, Crock O. Schitt Question Time Elementary Right, if you are in school today, a 30% pass rates is all you need to aim for with these questions... and to think some pupils do not even get that! Once again, what would I do without the Financial Nail. This sterling effort comes from their May 30 2014 edition: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are on a camping trip. As they lie awake, Holmes says: “Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see?” Watson says: “I see millions and millions of stars.” Holmes: “And what does that tell you?” Watson: “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorogically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?” Holmes: “Somebody stole our tent.” 1) 2) 3) 4) How long did the Hundred Years’ War last? Which country makes Panama hats? From which animal do we get cat gut?
