A teacher is teaching a class and she sees that Johnny isn't paying attention, so she asks him, "If there are three ducks sitting on a fence, and you shoot one, how many are left?" Johnny says, "None." The teacher asks, "Why?" Johnny says, "Because the shot scared them all off." The teacher says, "No, two, but I like how you're thinking." Johnny asks the teacher, "If you see three women walking out of an ice cream parlor, one is licking her ice cream, one is sucking her ice cream, and one is biting her ice cream, which one is married?" The teacher says, "The one sucking her ice cream." Johnny says, "No, the one with the wedding ring, but I like how you're thinking!"

File factory

In 1864, a U.S. patent for a machine for cutting files was issued to William Nicholson of Providence, R.I. (No. 42,216). This machine was put to use in the first successful U.S. file factory, the Nicholson File Company (1864). Prior to the Civil War, Nicholson had a machine tool business, at which time he developed his ideas on machine file making and built his first file cutting machine. He went to Europe, which at that time supplied most of the files used in America, and studied this industries, including the manufacture and treatment of steel. He opened his plant with the hope of developing to a production of 300 dozen files per day. The goal was not easily met, until he proved the quality of his files matched those made by hand.
