EVOLUTION OF THE MATH PROBLEM
Good-old-days:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of this price. What is his profit?
1990's:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment
is to underline the number 20.
2000's:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, an environmentally ignorant logger makes a profit of $20. What do you
think of this way of making a living? In your group, use role play to determine how the forest birds and squirrels
feel.

Pastor Bob shocked the congregation when he announced that he was
resigning from the church and moving to a drier climate.
After the service, a very distraught lady came to the pastor with tears in her eyes. "Oh, Pastor Bob, we
are going to miss you so much. We don't want you to leave!"
Pastor Bob patted her hand and said, "Now, now, Carolyn, don't carry on. The pastor who takes my place might
be even better than me".
"Yeah," Carolyn said, with a tone of disappointment in her voice, "That's what
they said the last time too." |

A woman in her forties got married but was a bit nervous about
her honeymoon.
Pastor Carl wanted to encourage her by sending a telegram with
a verse of Scripture...
1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in
love, but perfect love casts out fear.
But the Pastor's oral instructions to the church typist omitted, by mistake, the 1 before John and the telegram
just read...
John 4:18 - For you have had five
husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you said truly.

Sister Luella died and arrived in heaven. At heaven's gates she met
Saint Peter.
St. Peter asked her what God's name was.
"Oh that's easy," Sister Luella replied. "God's name is Andy."
"'What makes you think His name is Andy?" St. Peter asked incredulously.
"'Well, you see at Church we often sing this hymn -- 'Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me.' " |
