Here is your first question, the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9." "Without numbers?" The Cajun says, "Dat is easy." And proceeds to draw three trees. "What's this?" the boss asks? "Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine," says the Cajun. "Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99." The Cajun stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "Ere you go." The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?" "Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99." The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this Cajun, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100." The Cajun stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere you go. One hundred." The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!" The Cajun leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says, "A little dog come along and crap by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which makes one hundred." "So, when I start?" CANADIAN BET An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the bank because, she said, she had a lot of money. After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office. The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000". The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets. The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?! " The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square." The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that. The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?" "Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square." "Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back ! at 10 o' clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness." "No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently. That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet. The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square. The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly. The president was happy to oblige. The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure." The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2006 09:49:42 -0500 (EST) From: "Gerald A.

I remember back in the OLD days in the 70's, my parents bought me a pair of radio headphones that had the radio built in to the headband. They weighed a ton and I would continually be re-tuning to WQDR and changing out the 9-volt transistor battery. But it was great...I remember one day when "Jungleland" came on and when the part where the E-Streeter's kicked it up a notch I was sprinting, passing the cars on the road (OK, there was a traffic jam at the time, but it still felt pretty awesome). Then there was the time when they played the entire Dark Side of the Moon and I got so absorbed in it I almost got lost. That radio finally crapped out and I got a Sony Walkman with a cassette player in the early 80's. While it was nice to not have to tune a radio for reception, and the weight was off my ears and head, it was still a pain dealing with the weighty unit itself...I would carry it in my hand (which would quickly give out as if I was toting a hand weight) and strap it on my waist, which worked better but still the thing would jostle and the tape would wow and flutter. So now I have a little mp3 player - it's not an ipod but rather a little thing my son gave me, it barely holds one CD so I've gotta change it out often. Plus one of the channels is busted. So I'm definitely in the market for an ipod nano... But that does nothing to answer your question, does it? Over the years I have selected lots of music to run to, but never Joni - until last year, when I put DJRD on there. Coincidentally this is the one you seemed to prefer as well. I found it very conducive to running, and ironically, The Tenth World, one of my least favorite Joni "songs", becomes one of the best to run through...I feel as though I'm in a wild habitat being chased by some critter (something besides a possum anyway), and Cotton Avenue is an excellent 'warm up' tune as well. Not all of it works, but enough of it does to make it my pick as THE Joni album to run to. Bob NP: Ryan Adams, "Sylvia Plath" - --------------------------------- Yahoo!

This is part of a series, and these books have a decent reputation. They're short, but cover the album in more detail that a long book would. If there are 150 pages, every page will be about the recording of C&S: no biography or background--it's assumed you know all of that. I might be tempted by this one.

This is an interesting concept that Starbucks has got going, at first I was like, uh, huh? A while back, when I saw Starbucks selling CD's, it seemed so ... I don't know ... Repulsive, in a way, but then I bought one, or two ... And today at a Starbucks in the airport (just home from Disneyworld with the kids) I saw JONI MITCHELL on one and of course had to buy it. I haven't listened to it yet, but there is a booklet inside with some chat from Joni about each song and why it is important to her, I will post all of Joni's comments if you all aren't familiar ... It's kind of interesting. So I have gone from being completely repulsed to completely fascinated by the whole CD's at Starbucks concept, it is kind of fun to see what your favorite artist's favorite songs are, you know? Kind of cool. Let me know if you want to hear about the songs and what Joni says about them, and I'll post them.

This is part of a series, and these books have a decent reputation. They're short, but cover the album in more detail that a long book would. If there are 150 pages, every page will be about the recording of C&S: no biography or background--it's assumed you know all of that. I might be tempted by this one.

My assistant at work just left on a two week unpaid leave to go help with Habitat in New Orleans. Our firm is very involved with the organization and from what I've seen Habitat builds some very nice homes. As for the politics and b.s. - we have a great boss who always reminds us that the laws of physics can eventually cut through and overcome all that. (I couldn't pass physics to save my life but do understand concepts of mass - momentum - velocity). It will get there.

And of course, wonderful Joni-form to put one of her own tracks on it. I loved her inclusion of The New Radicals...but not a lot of surprises for anyone who has read lots of Joni interviews - I would have preferred a two-CD set (ala 1983's "My Top 12") where we get the actual audio of Joni talking about the songs as opposed to just the text. Still, it's good recognition for Joni in a high-profile space. Tracklist: Clare De Lune - DeBussy Subtle Lament - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra Solitude - Billie Holiday It Never Entered My Mind - Miles Davis Jeep's Blues - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra Harlem In Havana - Joni Mitchell Saturday Night Fish - Louis Jordan Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry Third World Man - Steely Dan Night Bird - Deep Forest The First Twilight - Deep Forest Trois Cloches - Edith Piaf At Last - Etta James Lonely Avenue - Ray Charles Trouble Man - Marvin Gaye Sweetheart Like You - Bob Dylan The Stories of the Street - Leonard Cohen You Get What You Give - New Radicals Bob NP: Laura Nyro, "I'm So Proud/Dedicated To The One I Love" PS: Be careful about re-sending a copy of the entire digest in your post as it makes for a whole new digest...just a friendly tip... - --------------------------------- Yahoo!

The money they pay into their mortgage fund becomes the seed money for others' mortgage, and so on. I've been on 3 or 4 HfH house crews here in Greenville, it is a VERY rewarding experience. The most moving times are when a person's kids are on the jobsite helping out, and when the house is done and you get to celebrate with the recipient and his/her/their family.

I am thinking of compiling a sampler CD of Joni songs for a new friend who likes Joni okay, but needs to hear more (in my opinion). I'd like the CD to contain songs that'll make him think, "Wow! I'm surprised that's a Joni song!" I want to cover the three plus decades of her recording career, perhaps beginning with "Night in the City" and ending with "Magdalene Laundries." My friend has "Blue," so I plan to omit anything from that album. And no "Tenth World," even though that fits the "I'm surprised that's a Joni song!" criteria. Any suggestion? Also, Mister Muller . . . have the Joni "Sweet 16" covers gone into a third volume yet? Do you ever plan to make the existing volumes downloadable, as you've done with recent covers volumes? Is that a strong enough hint? If it's too much, let me know and I'll send you blanks, etc. As always, thanks for being the bright little sunshiney oasis of kindness and good cheer you've always been! Regarding Joni in Fiction on the JoniMitchell.com site, I have not made any recent updates even though people have offered suggestions. I promise to get to it as soon as I can. Fact is, I have been very, very busy and I am STILL in twice-a-week physical therapy from last summer's accident, plus I am swimming all the time (I've upgraded from the public swimming pool to a beautiful local university piscine) and I am, of course, still coaching that Swedish men's gymnastics team in my spare time -- all in addition to being off-the-wall busy at work. But I'll get to the Joni in Fiction stuff eventually; I always do. If anyone wants to help with this important academic work, my life's magnum opus, please let me know. Lastly, I am ditching my land line and joining the walk-around phone generation, so let me know if you want my new phone number. Mwah, - --Smurf Tired of spam? Yahoo!
