Flip a Coin Day

Date When Celebrated : Always June 1



Flip a Coin Day is day when making decisions is as easy as flipping a

coin. This tradition dates back to Julius Caesar. Caesar would take a coin

and flip it to make decisions where the right choice was unclear. The

correct answer was "heads", which of course carried his image on the

coin.



Do you have any idea how to celebrate this day? You guessed it...Flip a

coin. Use this method of decision making for all decisions, and for

everything you do today.







Joke Of The Day...



A blonde reports for her university final exam which consists of mainly

true and false questions. She takes her seat in the examination hall,

stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of

inspiration takes her purse out, removes a coin and starts tossing the

coin and marking the answer sheet: true for heads and false for tails.

Within thirty minutes she is all done, whereas the rest of the class is

still working furiously.



During the last few minutes, she is seen desperately throwing the coin,

swearing and sweating. The moderator, alarmed, approaches her and asks

what is happening.



"I finished the exam in a half hour," she replies. "And as I have more

time left, I'm rechecking my answers."

    Wasn't sure this was for real. Too lazy to look it up so I flipped a coin to determine if I believe it. It landed on the edge of the slab.

    I was deciding if I should to Five Guys for lunch, so I flipped a coin.
    I had to flip it 3 times before it came up with the right answer.

    depending on the surface upon which the coin lands, there is a 1 in 6000 chance a coin lands on it's third side.

    I watched a clerk hand a dime, in change, back to the customer in front of me and she missed the customers hand and it fell to the floor. It landed, no shet, on the edge and did not roll. We were all three amazed. True story.



    I just flipped a quarter three times and got heads on all three. Not going to try for four.
