I volunteered recently to perform a parachute jump
for charity. On our first day of training, the instructor made an important
point about preparing for landing at 300 feet.
"How do you know when you're at 300 feet?"
asked one woman.
"A good question," replied the instructor.
"At 300 feet you can recognize the faces of people on the ground."
The woman thought about this for awhile before saying,
"What happens if there's no one there I know?"

The Test
Hollow out a melon.
Make a small hole in the side.
Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to
side.
Now get a bowl of soggy Cheerios and attempt to spoon it
into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane.
Continue until half the Cheerios are gone.
Tip the rest into your lap, making sure that a lot of it
falls on the floor.
If you have done all this and are still in control of
yourself, you are now ready to feed a baby.

Couples who have lived together a long time have their
own way of communicating. A woman overheard her aunt and uncle one day:
"What are you looking for in that closet?" she asked.
"Nothing," he answered.
"Well, it's not in there. Look under the bed."
