Mike went to some outdoor sports show and picked up a brochure for “Women in the Outdoors” classes put on by the Benton County Boss Hens group and brought it home to me. I personally found the classes and the descriptions to be funny and I think you may too.
I am listing the classes and adding my thoughts to the end of them so you know what is actual and what is opinion.
Bird Watching - Learn how to identify and log the birds of Missouri.
*No real comment - just boring.Woodworking for Wildlife - Build your own birdhouse to attract birds to your yard.*At least you won’t have to go far to watch and log them.
Intro to Quilting - Demonstrating the old and new way of quilting
*Maybe you can learn to quilt a blanket for the birds in your birdhouse. Or to keep you warm while sitting and watching the birds

I heard an interview with some guy on Obama’s world tour say that his people think of Obama as a “messiah” of sorts.
Get a grip. The real Messiah was a carpenter and Obama can’t even put together a cabinet.

An economics professor said he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class. The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too, so they studied little. The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else.
All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder one works to succeed the greater the reward but when a government takes all the reward away, no one will try or succeed.
