Cheer up Airplanenut with an amusing coin anecdote

airplanenut

Here's why, for Airplanenut, today just sucks:
1- I have been sick since Sunday, and I can't go to school (I'm missing info on upcoming tests)
2- My hard drive completely bombed out on me... free replacement will be here next week, but my big backup wafiles supposed to be... today
3- I can't get to cable internet, thus I must use dialup, so no pictures
4- I can hardly see straight at times
5- My back hurts
6- I'll think of more later

Because I can't see pretty pictures, post an amusing anecdote that deals with coins (such as a funny transaction)... hopefully I'll be back later to read them.

Let me start with a tale about one of the many coins that I have lost a dramatic amount of money on, because I just had to have the coin.....

Geez...now I am sad, too!

my wife and I excercise and walk on the track at the local Y. I tell her I like two kinds of toning. On her and my coins.

A stats major was completely hung over the day of his final exam. It was a true/false test, so he decided to flip a coin for the answers. The stats professor watched the student the entire two hours as he was flipping the coin...writing an answer...flipping the coin...writing an answer. At the end of the two hours, everyone else had left except for that one student. The professor walked up to his desk and interrupted the student.

"Listen, I see you didn't study for this test; you didn't even open the exam. If you're just flipping a coin for answers, what's taking you so long?

The student (still flipping the coin) said, "Shhh! I'm checking my answers!"

This story was told to me by my freshman high school guidance counselor.

This guy is a sophomore in college and smokes pot quite often. He's a psyc major with a art minor. He says that smoking pot is a really great way to make him think artistically and come up with great ideas, fantastic answers, and intellectual thought. Well, the guy would rather party than study, so after 2 solid nights of pleasure, it's Sunday night and he's got to study for a monday morning final examination. Well, instead of study, he figures that since it's a history test, he'll just smoke pot that morning and write out fabulous and intellectual answers. So, monday morning comes around and he's smoked a joint or two, just enough to make him think well. Test comes to his desk, only one question, a phenominally difficult one, be he knows the anwer and complete history. He writes diligently for 3 hours, and by the end of the exam, he knows he has written a masterpiece of intellectual thought and sure to get an 'A' on the test. Four days pass, and he goes to the professor for the grades posted on the door. He gets a big fat 'F' for the class. He knocks on the professor's door and inquires. "Why did I get an 'F'? It was the best expose(accent over e) of my life and I thought I had written some fabulous points?". Professor hands the blue book back to the guy, and retorts, "It may have very well been, but you have to TURN the page after writing". Apparently the guy was so bombed on pot, that he forgot to turn each page while writing on the exam. One page with 3 hours of scribbling.
