It's really not that hard to tell the difference between to, and too

Or their, there, they're

Have teachers stopped teaching spelling? And besides spelling, there's usage: why do people have such a hard time with infer and imply? Or the really tough one, affect and effect.

Actually, they're not hard at all - I just don't think teachers are teaching these anymore, and why not?

A blond man showed up at work one day with a black eye. When his co- workers saw him they asked him what had happened. He told them it had happened at church. They didn't believe him, and wanted to know what really happened.

So he told them, "I went to the church. I got on my knees and prayed. When I stood up to sing the hymns, there in front of me was the biggest woman I had ever seen. Her dress was stuck in her butt-crack, so being the gentleman I am, I reached over and pulled it out for her. She did not like that, so she hit me." The guys laughed and ribbed him about it all day.

The next week he showed up to work and his face was beat bad! Again the guys asked him what had happened and he told them he'd got beaten up at church. Again they didn't believe him, so he explained, "I went to the church. I got on my knees and prayed. When I stood up to sing the hymns, there in front of me was that same big woman with her dress again stuck up her butt-crack."

At this point the other men interrupted and said, "Please tell us you didn't pull her dress out of her crack again?"

"No, the guy standing beside me did, and I knew she didn't like that, so I shoved it back in."

Let's use a flash light to demonstrate since it all acts the same no matter what the spectrum. So to do what I wanted in the above question, I would put a piece of paper in the bottom half of the flashlight's light to block out it's strength. So across in the dark room, I'll see the top half is bright and the bottom half of the light circle is more dark. Can I do this with radio waves? Can you slightly block out radio waves?

We all know woman take time and money... so
Woman= Time + Money
And time is money, so
Time = Money
Which means Woman = Money Squared
And Money is the root of all evil, correct?
Woman = Root of all evil squared
Which reduces to
Woman = Evil
Genius!

I'm in the Army and I've often wondered why the Marines' Officer ranks are the same as ours even though the Marines fall under the Dept. of the Navy (why don't they just call a Marine Corps Colonel a Captain, etc.).

At school, a boy was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding
at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them
by saying, "I know the whole truth". The boy decides to go home
and try it out. He goes home, and as he is greeted by his mother he says, "I
know the whole truth."

His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."
Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and
greets him with, "I know the whole truth." The father promptly hands him $40
and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother." Very pleased, the boy is
on his way to school the next day, when he sees the mailman at his front
door.
The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth." The mailman drops
the mail, opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your FATHER a big hug."
