Probability Tables

Had a presentation on likelihood and consequences of certain events and hence risk factors today which got me thinking on an interesting train of thought... so I thought I'd share my mind and draw up a table about certain probabilities that may be of interest!

Haw Flakes Part II

Bit of a dirty joke I came up with...

Q: Why are they called haw flakes?
A: Because they're exactly like they're named - cheap but satisfying.

Haw Flakes

Mom notices the haw flakes on the kitchen table.

"Are those drugs?"
"No, mom. I try not to leave my drugs on the kitchen table when you come over."
"Well, what are they?"
"Haw Flakes. They're like candy."
"Well, okay. How do you know they aren't drugs?"
"Eh? Well, do drugs, I mean, you know, the illegal kind, come with a list ingredients on the side of the package, usually?"
"I guess not."

Lady Gaga Headphones

Lady Gaga is just the latest in the chain of celebs to launch their own line of products. She set to release her line of 'Heartbeat' headphones next month - available in red, chrome or black for $99 to $149.

Supposedly the headphones feature a non-tangling cord. Apparently it also hurts when you turn your head. But then again, isn't that with all things chic?

Yay for Salons!
