Hall Of Fame - Car Industry

 I am gonna to take you to the postage stamps world, we will learn about the evolution from carriages to cars.   

The wheel invention was the first step, but the genius inventor who assembled a pair of wheels on one axis and use them earned his place in the hall of fame. After that the ancient Egyptians were the first to build the war chariots which were developed by the Hittites which probably were the first to use iron for their tools and weapons. The chariots were used by the Romans who developed the transportation in their Empire. Horse carts served us for 20 centuries. The development of the metal leaf springs contribute to the manufacturing of the carriages at the 18 century. All around Europe the rich start traveling by the carriages which became more comfortable then the old carts.

Now the Industrial revolution brought new innovations which the main was, the steam engine. Now men dreams replacing muscles with steam. So very fast steam engines were operating the trollies in the mines and then Eng. Stevenson build and operate the first train running by a steam engine. Next step the engineers dreamed about building a mechanical carriage, using the old steam engine. Lets look on the pictures below of the first steam engine carriage build by the French Le Fardier de Cugnot and the lower by the British Sir Goldsworthy Gruney at 1825
which are telling us that story.

Smart Bobby

That smart story I heard many years ago and because of my friend the high school teacher I'll share it with you too. the story looked naughty so I choose Dee for the teacher's name.

   Dee a first-grade teacher was having trouble with Bobby one of her students.
Bobby: "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in third-grade and I'm smarter then her, I  should be in the third-grade too.
The teacher took Bobby to the Principal Mr. Campbell. Mr. Campbell told them, he will  test Bobby and if he pass the test he will be promoted to the third-grade class.
Mr. Campbell: "can you subtract 19 from 27?"
Bobby:"it's easy the answer is eight."
Mr. Campbell:"nice, now what's the product of 8x9?"
Bobby:72
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know. "I think the boy can go to the third-grade", confirmed the principal.

Dee said she had some of her own questions to ask. The Principal and Bobby agreed.
Dee:"What is that a cow has four and I have only two?" Bobby: "Legs."
Dee:"What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?" Bobby: "Pockets."
Dee: "What starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, and hard to penetrate?"
Bobby: "Coconut."
Dee: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"

Mr. Campbell raise his hand and try to stop the answer, but Bobby shoot his answer.
Bobby: "Chewing gum"
Dee: "Now try to find who am I? "You stick your poles inside me, you tie me down to get me up, I get wet before you do."
Bobby:" It's looks hard but it's a Tent."
Dee: "A finger goes in me, you fiddle with me when you're bored, the best man always has me first."
Bobby: "elementary, a wedding ring."

Dee: "What word starts with a 'F' and ends in 'k' and if you don't get it you have to use your hand?" Bobby: "Fork."
Dee: "What is it that all men have one. It is longer for some men then for others. a man gives it to his wife after they're married?"
Bobby: "surname"

The Principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to the teacher, "Send this boy to the University. even me failed answering your last question."

p.s. Old Polish joke
Q. What did a bride get from her Polish husband after they married, hint: its hard and long.
A. Surname.
