A fancy restaurant in New York was offering a promotional deal. A married couple could eat at the restaurant for half-price on their anniversary. To prevent scams, the couple would need proof of their wedding date.

One Thursday evening, a couple claimed it was their anniversary, but didn’t bring any proof. The restaurant manager was called to speak with the couple. When the manager asked to hear about the wedding day, the wife replied with the following: “Oh, it was a wonderful Sunday afternoon, birds were chirping, and flowers were in full bloom.” After nearly 10 minutes of ranting, she comes to tell him that today was their 28th wedding anniversary.

“How lovely”, the manager said, “However, you do not qualify for the discount. Today is not your anniversary, you are a liar”.

How did the manager know that it wasn’t their anniversary?

There’s only one party in Washington, and it’s not Red or Blue—it’s the Party of Power. They don’t represent you. They protect each other, get richer, and leave the rest of us to fight over scraps.

Upon one’s entry, I make one feel invited
Though my greeting goes unrequited

By all of your guests, I’m looked down upon
Receiving no attention as their visit goes on

Stomped upon as they exit, I’m not dejected
In fact, I remain totally unaffected

With my positive message, seven-letter
One might think I would be treated better
 

Random Riddle: Very Inviting

Joke Of The Day: DeHorst the Mathematician Among the more famous mathematicians in history, like Descartes, or Newton, Liebnitz, or Fibonnacci, there as a fellow who is somewhat less well known named DeHorst.

Helmholt DeHorst lived in the early 1500s. Like his contemporary René Descartes, he presented many papers at the Royal Society. One of his special interests was charts and graphs, but his rival René beat him to it with his Cartesian system of coordinates.

This is why math historians always put Descartes before DeHorst.
