CC 個人資料 \| email	posted 07-25-98 12:07 AM ET (US) Teaching Math in 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit? Teaching Math in 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit? Teaching Math in 1970: A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M". The set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set "M". Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits? Teaching Math in 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. Teaching Math in 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers. Teaching Math in 1996: By laying off 402 of its loggers, a company improves its stock price from $80 to $100. How much capital gain per share does the CEO make by exercising his stock options at $80. Assume capital gains are no longer taxed, because this encourages investment. Teaching Math in 1997: A company outsources all of its loggers. They save on benefits and when demand for their product is down the logging work force can easily be cut back. The average logger employed by the company earned $50,000, had 3 weeks vacation, received a nice retirement plan and medical insurance. The contracted logger charges $50 an hour. Was outsourcing a good move? Teaching Math in 1998: A logging company exports its wood-finishing jobs to its Indonesian subsidiary and lays off the corresponding half of its US workers (the higher-paid half). It clear-cuts 95% of the forest, leaving the rest for the spotted owl, and lays off all its remaining US workers. It tells the workers that the spotted owl is responsible for the absence of fellable trees and lobbies Congress for exemption from the Endangered Species Act. Congress instead exempts the company from all federal regulation. What is the return on investment of the lobbying costs?

Jean 個人資料 \| email	posted 07-31-98 5:02 PM ET (US) Overheard from Jay Leno about the number "13": 13 is the sum of all spice girls' IQs 13 is what an LA public high school student will say when asked "what number is between 7 and 9". Jay also said this: The LA High School Educational Committee has an automated phone attendant. Then he played the following greetings: Thank you for calling LA High School Educational Committee. If you want to complain about your teacher, press 1. If you want to upgrade your grades, press 2. If you want to report a gun accident, press 3. If you need a contracetive device, press 4. If you are from a public school and can't find the numbers on the phone, stay on the line.
CC 個人資料 \| email	posted 07-31-98 5:18 PM ET (US) Quite funny they are. BTW, Who is Jay Leno? The guy/commentator who speaks for the President?
wuji 個人資料 \| email	posted 07-31-98 5:23 PM ET (US) No. He is a talk show host, his show is called "The late show with Jay Leno"(or something like that). Basically, he has the same kind of job as David Letterman( and I assume you know who that is).
Jean 個人資料 \| email	posted 07-31-98 6:02 PM ET (US) Jay Leno is the host of The Tonight Show (NBC). David Letterman's Late Night Show is downright stupid (he is with CBS). I usually stay late for Jay Leno. You can visit www.cbs.com and find many good jokes under Tonight Show. I recommend Headlines - newspaper clippings with hilarious errors. To give you an idea: a newspaper ad that reads "Father's Day Sale!" Yet the picture shows all kinds of lingerie. If CC's typing is not fast, his computer is.
CC 個人資料 \| email	posted 07-31-98 6:07 PM ET (US) OIZ. A talk show host he is. Someone told me that some "Jay" speaks for Clinton's "scandal", so I thought he is a commentator - talk show hosts only "make use of" the President, I used to think so.

For a period of time there, I watched Letterman everyday, then things got busier.... I don't like Leno, and I'm not sure why(maybe it's because of his big chin.) >If CC's typing is not fast, his computer is. I can almost picture CC sitting in front of his state-of-art computer...........

Jean 個人資料 \| email	posted 09-24-98 7:48 PM ET (US) Found in a newspaper: Tomorrow - partly cloudy with 30% chance of afternoon. Offered n a Chinese restaurant: sweat sour chicken We all know how evasive the whitehouse spokesman can be. When asked "what would you like to order" in a restaurant, the spokesman said:" That, of course, is up to the American people." - Jay Leno
