        • Relativity.

          Fitzgerald asked why he hadn't been mentioned in the previous post but was told that if he had been, it wouldn't be a contraction.

                  • A pair of twins walk into a bar and each asks for a pie. The first twin has no problems, but the second twin goes off at tremendous speed in a rocket. When he returns, he finds his pie on sale at the Co-op.

                              There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.
