History's Great Riddles: Can you answer them all?
What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?
Who is buried in Grant’s tomb?
How long does a 30 minute status meeting take?
The first question is the riddle of the Sphinx, and if you couldn’t answer, I think you got killed or eaten.
The second question is an old game show trick question. The contestant wants to say Grant immediately...
Would you be interested in a Meeting Boy calendar?

Tell me, when did vendors stop sending booze?

And she’s doing a super job!

OK, I changed my avatar. No one panic.
I’m trying this one out for awhile. I liked the post-its one too, but it wasn’t mine, and this one is. In all seriousness, if you have a better avatar for me, let me know and I’ll consider it.
