Which probably doesn't bode well for a very active board for the weekend, but we'll see. I have company for the weekend, but I'll still see if I can't get some writing done as well.

In the meantime, here's a joke:



A hot blonde woman boards an airplane, tired from an afternoon of shopping the concourses. She finally finds her seat and sits down next to a smartly dressed young lawyer.

He subtly checks her out from head to toe as the stewardess announces a delay in taking off, then leans in to hit on her. Being tired, she tolerates him, but no more. So he decides to try another tactic.

"Hey, wanna play a game?" he asks her. "It looks like we're not going anywhere for a while."

"Not really... I think I'll just take a nap."

"Ah, but it's a fun game, and really easy. We take turns asking questions. For every question of mine that you can't answer, you pay me five dollars. However, for every question of yours that I can't answer, I'll pay you fifty dollars."

She perked up a bit at that, shifting the shopping bags stowed under the seat in front of her. "Okay" she ultimately decided, nodding.

"Great!" he grinned with a killer smile. "I'll go first: How many moons does Jupiter have?"

The woman's mouth twisted in concern as she thought, but finally she reached into her purse and drew out his five dollar bill. "My turn..?" she asked. "What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?".

The young lawyer grew intense as he thought it over, but nothing came to him. Luckily, the stewardess came by and distracted the woman, who requested a blanket and pillow. Determined not to lose, he got out his iPhone and searched the internet for an answer, to no avail. Finally admitting defeat, he handed her a crisp fifty dollar bill as she fluffed her pillow and settled in for her nap.

After a few moments, he realized that she wasn't going to continue with the game. "But..." he asked, "What was the answer to the riddle?"

The blonde woman opened one eye to look at him, reached into her purse, handed the young man a five dollar bill and went back to sleep.
