Many years ago my mother sent me to buy ten cartons of dog food on special there were 12 cans in each carton.When i got to the checkout the youung lady serving yelled out to another assistant what is 10 x12the assistant yelled baci i dont know what 10 12s is but i know 11 12s are 144!!!
For years i never thought this could be beaten but last week i got pamphlet in mail saying chinese meals 8 dollars each.I rang the shop & ordered two meals the lady serving me said she would have to check what 2 x8 was on the calculator she then said after a minute of working it out 16 dollars.I said do u take bankcard she replied only if orderis over 15 dollars.I said its 16 dollars she said
oh yes we take bankcard then.
now the ending could you please give me your name & phone no she said I said its tony ph no etc then i nearly fell of the chair.How do u spell tony?
This is two true stories if this is education today heaven help us.
Last but not leasti was dating a ladt who had a daughter in year seven who just wrote a letter to her father i thought id read it.
I was astounded i did not understand one word on the page. So there is something drastically wrong with our education today check out your own children?

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
