In a trial, a Southern small-town
prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly,
elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs.
Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've
known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a
big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and
you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs.
You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to
realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit
paper pusher. Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed
across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense
attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr.
Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and
he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship
with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the
entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three
different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him."
The defense attorney almost died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a
very quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she
knows me, I'll send you to the electric chair!"
Bonus Joke
A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked
the Priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favour?" "Of course.
What may I do for you?" "Well, I bought an expensive woman's
electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday. The dryer is
unopened and well over the Customs limits; and I'm afraid
they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it
through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?" "I would love
to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."
"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you." When
they reached the Customs area, she let the priest go ahead of
her. The official asked: "Father, do you have anything to
declare?" "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have
nothing to declare."
The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do
you have to declare from your waist to the floor?" "I have a
marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which
is, to date, unused." Roaring with laughter, the official said,
"Go ahead, Father." "Next."

Choosing
a Major - Your choice of a
major is an important decision. It has both long and
short term consequences that should be examined
carefully in the decision making progress. Not only
will your major play a role in your ultimate career
path, it also most immediately determines how you
interact with your college or university as well as
your intellectual development.
Citing Material From the Internet
- material found on the internet has it's own unique
difficulties when it comes to using it as a source for
a research paper. Our step by step guide helps to
clear up the ambiguities.
Making Classroom Presentations
- Some classes require that you
give a presentation as a part of classroom
participation or sometimes for extra credit. This can
be intimidating and even frightening to some students,
especially those who are not experienced in public
speaking. We have collected the best information we
could find on the subject, distilled it, added tactics
garnered from our own experience and present it to
you.
Directives and Terms Used in Writing and Test Taking - Some words are "directives"
used by instructors when they want you to to answer a
question, prepare a report or write a paper in a
particular way. Knowing the definitions of these
directives and then presenting the information asked
for in the correct way will help to insure that you
get the grade that your hard work deserves.
Instructor Relations -
Getting along with your instructor can have benefits
both in and out of the classroom.
Reading Difficult Material -
It's bound to happen at one time or another. Your
instructor assigns a text that is so dense, poorly
written or follows a train of logic that you never got
on. You know that there is information in there that
is important to the subject. You will be required to
discuss it in class, write about it in a paper or,
heaven forbid, understand it well enough to deal with
it on an exam. With that in mind, we have constructed
this step by step guide to help you make sense of
difficult material.
Using the Scientific Method
- The scientific method is a process for forming and
testing solutions to problems, or theorizing about how
or why things work. It tries to reduce the influence
of "faith" or bias or prejudice of the experimenter so
that the process is valid anywhere in our world.
Studying Advice -
To make the your academic experience rewarding in
terms of knowledge gained and grades received, it’s
necessary to spend time studying. In collegiate life
nothing is handed to you on a platter. If you want
academic success it is necessary to get it on your
own. Our guide to studying is designed to help you
with that pursuit.
Student Loan Consolidation
Congress set up the Consolidation Loans Programs to
allow student loan borrowers to combine their loans
into a single new loan with flexible repayment and
extended loan repayment features.
Successful Student Habits
-
10 habits most successful students have. How many do
you have?
Test
Taking Strategies - For
multiple choice, essay and true false tests.
Writing a Paper
-
You have a paper to
write. It doesn’t matter how many pages it is or what
the topic is, the basics are always the same.
Writing a Thesis Statement -
In most cases the essay or paper you will write for a
college level course will require a thesis statement.
In fact the thesis statement is the foundation of a
quality essay and a necessary component for receiving
the best grade possible. |
