Biology Exam
The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk', worth 70 points or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. He wrote:
1 It is perfect formula for the child.
2 It provides immunity against several diseases.
3 It is always the right temperature.
4 It is inexpensive.
5 It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6 It is always available as needed. And then the student was stuck.
Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote:
7 It comes in two attractive containers....and the cat can't get it.
He got an A.

Hume Highway
A motorist was cruising along the Hume Highway at the normal speed when he suddenly noticed a police car right behind him. He accelerated to 100 km/h and then 115 km/h with the police close behind.
Soon the squad car overtook and signalled him to stop. A very irate constable demanded an explanation for his erratic and illegal behaviour.
The motorist was most anxious to explain. "It's like this sergeant. Last week one of your officers ran away with my wife, and I was afraid he was bringing her back!!"
For Mothers
Hope you have a Special Day, breakfast in bed, plenty of flowers, chocolates, love and kisses.

Practical ways to improve your "Security"
Research shows that those who appear confident and take security precautions are less likely to be victims of crime.
At Home:
Improve your physical security at home. Doors, lock, grilles etc. are your first line of defence. Your home should be clearly visible to the street, neighbours and passers-by. Bushes and trees that obstruct a clear view of windows or doors provide perfect cover for intruders.
A good quality security door on all your external doors helps with ventilation and is a barrier for unknown calls and offenders.
External doors should be of solid-core construction and fitted with deadlocks. When going out, certain deadlocks can be locked in such a way that they can only be unlocked with a key from either side.
Remember, do not open the door to a stranger no matter how urgent it sounds. Check First and ask for identification before opening the door. If someone is seeking help, leave that person outside while you make the emergency call.
Recreation Room
80-year old Bessie bursts into the rec room at the retirement home. She holds her clenched fist in the air and announces, "Anyone who can guess what's in my hand can have sex with me tonight!!"
An elderly gentleman in the rear shouts out, "An elephant?"
Bessie thinks a minute and says, "Close enough".
