  You're driving a bus in New Orleans. At the 1st stop 7 people get on. The 2nd stop 5 people get on and 3 get off. The 3rd stop 9 people get on. The 4th stop 4 get off and 9 get on. The last stop, Charles Street, everyone gets off at Shakey Jakes for Mardi Gras festivities.

  What was the bus drivers name?

  Good one Luigi

  Petthepup. Wow that brings me back. "To the moon Alice"

  Luigi ,I have always admired your wit and choice of postings. Any chance you can tell me how one clips quotes in answering pre-posted messages as to refer to the right line item such as you did. I have been gone for so long I forgot. if not, understandable.

  When you reply to the post, select the relevant part (highlight by dragging your mouse over it), then click on the Quote.

  Also if you want to join 2 or more parts of the post, you can edit it with <snip> to show the quote is edited (like I did above).

  There is a shop that reads:

  Buy 1 for   $1.00
         10 for   $2.00
         100 for $3.00

  
  I needed 913 and still only paid $3.00. How could this be financially viable for the shop-keeper?

  He sells house numbers and his cost is less than $1 per digit.

  At first I thought he might be selling pennies...  ;-)
