I had to take some time off to finish the newsletter
that I am the editor and publisher of. Got it done
a few minutes ago, all but the distribution. Will
work on that tomorrow. So I will type a shortie for
now.

A Good Balance

A baker in a small country town always bought the butter
he used in his bakery from a nearby farmer. One day he suspected that the bricks of butter were not full pounds,
and for several days he weighed them.
Sure enough, he was right! They were short weight, and
he had the farmer arrested.
At the trial, the judge said to the farmer, "I presume
you have scales?"
"No, your honor," answered the farmer.
"Then how do you manage to weigh the butter you sell?"
ask the judge.
"That's easily explained, your honor," replied the farmer."I have babances, and for a weight I use a one-pound loaf of bread, which I buy from the baker."
