An old farmer died and left 17 cows to his three sons. In his will, the farmer stated that his oldest son should get half his middle son should get one third and his youngest son should get one ninth of all the cows. The sons, who did not want to end up with half cows, sat for days trying to figure out how many cows each of them should get.

One day, their neighbour came by to see how they were doing after their father's death. The three sons told him their problem. After thinking for a while, the neighbour said: "I'll be right back!" He went away, and when he came back, the three sons could divide the cows according to their father's will, and in such a way that each of them got a whole number of cows.

Q: What was the neighbour's solution?

A: The neighbour borrowed an extra cow, to make the total number of cows 18. Then the oldest son got half of 18 is nine cows, the middle son got one-third of 18 is six cows, and the youngest son got one-ninth of 18 is two cows. Since 9+6+2 = 17, the cows could be divided among the three brothers in such a way that the borrowed cow was left over, and could be returned to its owner.

Baseball in

Heaven

Two friends John and Dave were huge baseball fans. Their entire lives, John and Dave talked baseball. They went to 60 games a year. They even agreed that whoever died first would try to come back and tell the other if there was baseball in heaven.

One night, John passed away in his sleep after watching the Yankee victory earlier in the evening. He died happy. A few nights later, his buddy Dave awoke to the sound of John's voice from beyond.

"John, is that you?" Dave asked.

"Yes, it's me," John replied.

"This is unbelievable," Dave exclaimed. "So tell me, is there baseball in heaven?" "Well, I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Tell me the good news first."

"Well, the good news is that yes there is baseball in heaven."

"Oh, that is wonderful! So what is the bad news?"

"You're pitching tomorrow night."
