      It works like a charm! ...but I still can't afford to eat out as often as I'd like!

      Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants....everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

          Next year, add 1 to 1756/1757 and it will still work.

          Some nifty (but simple) math involved there, but interesting and amusing.

              When I first saw this, it made me think of Red Green's Midlife Musings. My favorite (that I can't find of course), was comparing your life to different sandwiches.

              No crust as a kid
              Ham and cheese as a teenager
              then later, more cheesy

              Finally you end up as an open face sandwich with it all hanging out.

                  Our PBS had his show on one year and did not renew it. I liked it. Bill

                          I keep waiting for one of these math puzzles where you input a random number and it comes out with the right value without masking or subtracting your random number later.
