Most of the time, this is impractical in North Dakota! Both my boyfriend and my girlfriend love it, though!

A Delightful High School Prank
This was posted in a Carlmont High School in California. I wonder how many took it seriously?

Worse Than a Clown
There was a young monk in China who was a very serious practitioner of the Dharma.
Once, this monk came across something he did not understand, so he went to ask the master.
When the master heard the question, he kept laughing. The master then stood up and walked away, still laughing.
The young monk was very disturbed by the master's reaction. For the next three days, he could not eat, sleep nor think properly. At the end of three days, he went back to the master and told the master how disturbed he had felt.
When the master heard this, he said, "Monk, do you know what your problem is? Your problem is that YOU ARE WORSE THAN A CLOWN!"
The monk was shocked to hear that, "Venerable Sir, how can you say such a thing?! How can I be worse than a clown?"
The master explained, "A clown enjoys seeing people laugh. You? You feel disturbed because another person laughed. Tell me, are u not worse than a clown?"
When the monk heard this, he began to laugh. He was enlightened.

Two Economists
An experienced economist and a not-so-experienced economist were walking down the road. They came across a pile of horse manure lying on the asphalt.
Experienced economist: "If you eat it I'll give you $20,000!"
The not-so-experienced economist ran his optimization problem and figured out he's better off eating it so he did and collected the money.
Continuing along the same road they came across another pile of horse manure.
The not-so-experienced economist said, "Now, if YOU eat this I’ll give YOU $20,000."
After evaluating the proposal the experienced economist ate it and collected the money.
They went on. The not-so-experienced economist started thinking, "Listen, we both have the same amount of money we had before, but we both ate horse manure. I don't see us being better off."
The experienced economist replied, "Well, that's true, but you overlooked the fact that we've been just involved in $40,000 of trade."
