The only thing I know about Oswego is that there's a state university there. My OzzieBoy was was born there... his REAL name is Oswego Cat. My stepdaughter went to Oswego SUNY. She adopted this little kitten and two weeks later when it was spring break I drove up there to pick her up. She asked if she could bring her kitten and of course I said, "yes". When I asked her what she'd do with the cat after the school year was finished she said she'd just let him loose. I couldn't bear that happening, so (to make a long story short) I kept him. He grew up with two older cats (who sort of adopted him as a little brother). That was 17½ years ago.

I thought the Capo di tutti Capellini was dead
 He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

3 house mates go to buy a new microwave at the shop! It costs £30 so they each put up £10. At the till the shopkeeper tells them it is actually only £25 and hands them back 5 pound coins. The 3 pals each pocket a pound and give the last £2 to the shopkeeper as a tip. As they walk away one of them says "Hey,we all paid £10 but got a pound back so we ended up paying £9 each? 3 x 9 is £27 and we gave the guy a £2 tip. That makes £29? What happened to the other pound?" Anyone solve this one cos i certainly can't? 
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

Ya gotta love Stumpy. I once met a guy named Joe who was missing 2/3 of his finger. He told me to call him Stumpy. Then he asked me if I would drive him to his GED exam.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

(i.e. £27 is made up of two payments: the £25 for the microwave and the £2 tip). Once you add in the £3 of savings, you get to £30.

It costs £30 so they each put up £10.

As they walk away one of them says
"Hey,we all paid £10 but got a pound back so we ended up paying £9 each?
3 x 9 is £27 and we gave the guy a £2 tip.
That makes £29?
What happened to the other pound?"
Anyone solve this one cos i certainly can't? As Don Sicilia pointed out, you can't solve the puzzle that way (you're mixing apples and oranges). Look at it this way... the microwave cost £25. Each of the three guys had to kick in £8.33 for that. If they each pocketed a pound, that brings up their individual outlay to £9.33. Thus the total amount covered was £27.99 (9.33 x 3), so let's round that off to £28.00. The £2 tip balances out the original £30.

Thanks to DS and SC for explaining the solution to that problem. It was driving me mad

I think this is a very old problem, I have been hearing this ever since my childhood. I have heard the solution numerous times and still will not be able to answer it the next time someone asks me
