Logical Conclusions
In an attempt to get an A in his anatomy class, the Med Tech student designed an experiment for his frog.
He placed the little critter on the table and shouted, "jump, frog, jump". The frog jumped 20 inches. He dutifully records the results in his notebook.
With great care he then surgically removed one of the frog's legs. He again cried out "jump, frog , jump". The frog then jumps 15 inches, and he records the results.
He then removes another leg and shouts "jump, frog, jump". This time, the frog can only manage 10 inches. He records "frog with two legs jumps 10 inches.
He then removes the third leg, and says "jump, frog, jump". He then records that the frog jumped only 5 inches on one leg.
After he removes the fourth leg. Again, he shouts "jump, frog, jump". When the frog did not budge, the Med Tech student thought for a while, then entered into his notebook the logical conclusion: "Frogs with no legs will go deaf".

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a
chance to get its pants on."
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an
optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
"Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be
postponed."
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat
him last."
"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of
ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of
misery."
"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the
key to unlocking our potential."
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for
something, sometime in your life."
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is
also what it takes to sit down and listen."
"Eating words has never given me indigestion."
"History is written by the victors."

"I am always ready to learn although I do not always like
being taught."
