Jokes You Can Use:

“The neurologist wanted to propose to his girl friend, but he just didn’t have the nerve.”

Just changed my Facebook name to ‘No one’, so when I see stupid posts I can click like and it will say ‘No one likes this’.

“Paratroopers pull strings to stay on the job.”

“I went to a budget restaurant to dine and when I returned there was a parking ticket stuck on the windshield. Well, that was fine dining!”

Did you hear about the Hindu yogi who was having a filling put in a tooth? When the dentist asked him if he wanted novocaine, the yogi said, “No. I can transcend dental medication.”

Middle School Science Minute

Earth: The Ultimate Recycler

I was recently reading the September, 2018 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.

In this issue, I read the section “From the Editor’s Desk” written by Patty McGinnis. She wrote an article entitled, “Earth: The Ultimate Recycler.” She quotes Wendell Berry – “The Earth is what we all have in common.”
