(These are all true)

It seems that a certain woman kept the ashes of her dearly departed father in a silver box on a table. One day, after not having looked at her "father" for a long time, she opened the box and was horrified to discover it was nearly empty! Furious, she accosted the maid and demanded to know, "have you touched this box?" Whereupon the maid protested "I didn't think you'd mind! After all, it's very poor quality snuff."

Mensa, the club for "highly intelligent people," advertised a competition in a children's newspaper--closing date, June 31st

I found these instructions that came with my little brothers slinky-
TO PLAY WITH SLINKY IN HANDS
Hold end coils of Slinky with both hands. Now raise and lower each hand in a rhythmic motion.
TO BOUNCE SLINKY UP AND DOWN
Hold a few coils lightly in one hand, allowing rest of Slinky to hang down. Now in a bouncing motion, move hand slowly up and down.
TO WALK SLINKY DOWN INCLINE OR SLOPE
Any board or table top with a non-slip surface will do. Slope surface so rise equals about 1 foot for every 4 foot length. Place Slinky at top, flip and watch Slinky start down, end over end.

Some people are just stupid.
