Jean Paul, moved to Texas and bought a donkey from an old farmer named Ben for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day, Ben drove up and said, "Sorry, but I have some bad news. The donkey died." "Well, then, just give me the money back," said Jean Paul.
"Can't do that. I went and spent it already." replied Ben. "OK, then. Just unload the donkey," said Jean Paul.
"What ya going to do with him?" asked Ben. "I'm going to raffle him off," said Jean Paul. "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" uttered Ben. "Sure can. Watch me. I just won't tell that he's dead," said Jean Paul.
A month later Ben met up with Jean Paul and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?" "I raffled him off, I did. I sold 500-hunderd tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898," said Jean Paul. "Didn't anyone complain?" inquired Ben.
"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back", said Jean Paul.

I broke down and ordered a Beagle Bone Black[^] as opposed to the RaspberryPi which so many on here have. I did a lot of research before ordering and the BBB I believe has more to offer a hobbyist like myself that has experience with the Arduino line of uControllers.
Now the bad news, it is on back order until Jan. 5. No one has any.

Well, that's ok - nobody will be back before then anyway!
It looks interesting: what are you planning to do with it? And what language?

I don't really have a project in mind just want to learn and play.
I will probably do some C/C++ but really want to do some Python development, still in the early learning stages but I think I should be able to get up to speed fairly quickly.

On arrival in the toon I stepped out of the car and there at my feet was a condom (used) as a greeting.
After walking around I am shocked ny what people are wearing - coats.

Newcastle? Perhaps it was twice used.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

The important question is: what are you doing in the Frozen Wastelands north of Watford?

If they are wearing coats, you've probably arrived at Teesside. Look up, if there is a thick orange smog, you need to continue North until someone asks for 20p for the Metro so they can get their diabetes medicine.

PETA is going to go topless over this
“I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : 'I know all about it. I've already found it.'
As far as I'm concerned, the word means: 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'”

I sure hope so, Bill! Although most of them are rather unlovely by any definition, a few might look rather fetching in nothing at all, and I'd appreciate seeing them in such a state. Particularly on a chilly day, if only to have a good excuse to offer one such lass a warm fur wrap to keep her wimples narm.

Can I please have coal instead? No matter how bad I have been, I don't deserve a root canal

Thanks, but I actually feel fine. The tooth tingles once in a while, that's all. I was surprised when the dentist said I need a root canal. Tomorrow. He is going on vacation and needs a little extra cash.

Thanks Mike. I had it done about an hour ago and it really was not that big of a deal.

Good to hear...it's always best when it's over!

I had a major mouth injury when I was younger that resulted in a few root canals over the years, and the only ones I had that ever really hurt were on my front teeth. The other ones really aren't as bad as people make them out to be.
Good luck though!

Then you should be happy to pay the dentists vacation. If you're having an exposed nerve you'd better hope it's not inflamed. that's when it really hurts afterwards.
|

Why would they do the root canal if it's not inflamed? I don't really know anything except for (a little bit of) Googling yesterday, but I thought they just did it when it is inflamed.
