Thought some of you might like this.

Parable of Isms.

Socialism:
If you have two cows, you give one to your neighbor.

Communism:
If you have two cows, you give them to the government, and then the government gives you some milk.

Fascism:
If you have two cows, you keep the cows and give the milk to the government; then the government sells you some milk.

New Dealism:
If you have two cows, you shoot one and milk the other; then you pour the milk down the drain.

Nazism:
If you have two cows, the government shoots you and keeps the cows.

Capitalism:
If you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull.

And for you hunters/mathematicians.......

Thirty birds sit on the upper branches of a tree. If a so-called "sportsman" fires a volley of buckshot and kills "one half" of "two thirds" of them, how many birds would be left?

None. No bird would stay after the first shot.

Carry's mother had four children not to mention a rather unhealthy fixation about monetary names. The oldest child was named "Quarter". The second child was named "Dimeond". The third child was named "Nicklass". What was the fourth child and only girl likely named ?


We been doing riddles at the Y every Thurs night and its a good time, breaks up the monotony....for those who like to exercise that brain muscle....!

math wise 10 would be left.
2/3 of 30 is 20 divided by 2 = 10

20 birds would be left.

Technically though, the living ones would all fly away.

The fourth child's name is Carry as you mentioned earlier in the riddle.
