Stop watching the stock market and get your mind off it.


For those that have time to burn or just like a challenge -- below is

Who owns the zebra when he's not on first.

LOL, that is a good one Scott

If I owned a zebra I would paint some numbers on his belly and call him Bar Code

Just - unsuccessfully "

I got the joke and was reurning the volley to keep the ball ( joke ) in play

Come now, you can't make it such as simple black-and-white issue. Zebras are far more complicated than that!

No...

Just - unsuccessfully - trying to be a smart-aass with a play on words with the alternative spelling for suede.

Are male Zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

do you have a dog?

/* joke from the logic puzzle */

I know. But what I meant in my answer was that I had opened the blog while there were no comments and I purposely didn't refresh it before answering so I wouldn't be swayed (or swede?)

I guessed German, also....
