Positive Quote       

Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle never know.

          -- Charles Kingsley

I finally got this game launched and I got my printer to scan tickets.  Okay, right now I have only learned to scan things into Word, but least you will have your tickets.

All of you play with me in other games, so when I tell you I’m running this group just like Mega, then you know what I mean.

I purchased the tickets yesterday, and they are all for 10 draws, Cash Option.  Even though I will attach your tickets to this e-mail, I will put your numbers in the body of this letter so you have ready access to them.  Remember, our first drawing is tonight.

Your Numbers:

Now Texas dropped their Bonus Ball making it easier to win.  Well, I don’t think any Jack Pot is easy to win.

Right now our tickets are good until Wednesday, December 27^th, 2006.  It is my hopes that I can extend this game into the New Year, before starting Game Two.  I would love not to have starting any more games the remainder of the year.

Estimated Jackpot Calculation Documents

We all paid $10.00 for 1 share each, so this should be easy to divide.

4.2 Million Divided by 7 equals = $600,000.00.  This figure is before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes.

Tickle Me Elmo

There is a factory in Northern Minnesota, which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys.  The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM.  The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door.  The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee.  He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.

The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor.  When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.  At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's.  She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.

The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter.  After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena.  "I'm sorry," he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday..."

"Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."
