Jokes
"Dad, I don't want to go to school today." said the boy.
"Why not, son?"
"Well, one of the chickens on the school farm died last week and we had chicken soup for lunch the next day. Then three days ago one of the pigs died and we had roast pork the next day."
"But why don't you want to go today?"
"Because our English teacher died yesterday!"
MAYAN TEMPLE
A tourist is traveling with a guide through one of the thickest jungles in South America, when he comes across an ancient Mayan temple. The tourist is entranced by the temple, and asks the guide for details. To this, the guide states that archaeologists are carrying out excavations, and still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries how old the temple is.
"This temple is 1503 years old", replies the guide.
Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires as to how he gave this precise figure.
"Easy", replies the guide, "the archaeologists said the temple was 1500 years old, and that was three years ago"

 Air Sickness
1. Do not eat a large meal before getting on the plane. Eating a large meal just before your flight increases your chance of getting air sick.
2. Try to avoid thinking about getting air sick. If you do, you may convince yourself you are sick.
3. Take medicine such as Dramamine or Bonine before takeoff and landing. This is the most sick part. Medicines to prevent travel sickness work by preventing the confusing messages being sent to your brain. Note that some medicines require a prescription (such as Scopolamine), although some are available over the counter (OTC).
4.You can also buy acupressure wristbands at your local pharmacy, although the evidence surrounding acupressure’s effectiveness is not entirely conclusive.
5.Try to stay in your seat as much as possible. Sitting down in a chair means that sudden movements by the plane will affect you less. As a result, less confusing messages will be sent to your brain, due to the fact that your body will not notice as much motion.
6. Avoid reading on the plane if it makes you feel sick. Many people find that reading on the plane makes them feel sick. As a result, you may want to avoid reading while in flight. But for people that are not air sick, reading actually kills boredom.
7. Try to sit near the wings of the plane. Near the wings the plane is more stable, so there is less shaking to send your brain confusing signals. If there is shaking your brain may receive confusing signals due to the fact that your sight may not show movement, yet you can feel that you are moving.
8. Get used to motion before the flight. Some people have stated that by taking part in activities such as jumping on a trampoline in the time before the flight, you may get more used to motion, and as a result not be affected by the sickness as much. You will have to perform the motion based activity many times before you notice the effect, however
