A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, “Everyone who thinks you’re stupid, stand up!” After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up.
The teacher said, “Do you think you’re stupid, Little Johnny?
“No, ma’am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!”
…sleeping beauties in sweet dreams.
Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female Poodle. The three male dogs fall all over themselves in an effort to be the one to reach her first, but end up arriving in front of her at the same time. The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering on themselves and hoping for just a glance from her in return.
Aware of her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she decides to be kind and tells them “The first one who can use the words “liver” and “cheese” together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence can go out with me.”
The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says “I love liver and cheese.” “Oh, how childish,” said the Poodle. “That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever.”
She turned to the tall, shiny Golden Retriever and said “How well can you do?” “Um. I HATE liver and cheese,” blurts the Golden Retriever.
“My, my,” said the Poodle. “I guess it’s hopeless. That’s just as dumb as the Lab’s sentence.” She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, “How about you, little guy?”
The last of the three, tiny in stature, but big in fame and finesse, is the Taco Bell Chihuahua. He gives her a smile, a sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and says, “Liver alone. Cheese mine.”

It’s a shame to see overripe bananas go to waste. So, what do you do with overripe bananas? For me, the easiest way to go is to make banana smoothie. But for a change, I decided to bake my new improved moist banana cake with peanut toppings. It’s easy to make, very moist, smells amazing and simply delicious. My family love it and it goes really well with coffee or tea 🙂
So, here is the yummy banana cake recipe :-
Ingredient:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup castor/fine sugar (very little sugar but the natural sweetness of the bananas will blend in nicely)
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
2 ripe medium bananas, mashed (1 cup)
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoon plain yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup salted peanuts (coarsely chopped/blended to resemble crumbs)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease and flour a 9 by 2-inch round cake pan.
2. Sieve the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon).
3. Cream butter and sugar together well. Stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping. (Mix in the chopped/blended peanuts)
5. Combine eggs, mashed bananas, milk & vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix well.
6. Sprinkle with the reserved 1/4 cup crumb mixture.
7. Bake for 30 minutes.
A little boy was kneeling beside his bed with his mother and grandmother and softly saying his prayers, “Dear God, please bless Mom and Dad and all the family and please give me a good night’s sleep.”
Suddenly he looked up and shouted, “And don’t forget to give me a bicycle for my birthday!!”
“There is no need to shout like that,” said his mother. “God isn’t deaf.”
“No,” said the little boy, “but Grandma is.”

A doctor, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The doctor remarked, “Well, in the Bible it says that God created Eve from a rib taken from Adam. This clearly required surgery, so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world.”
The civil engineer interrupted and said, “But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong; mine is the oldest profession in the world.”
The computer scientist leaned back in his chair, smiled and said confidently, “Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?”
