  What do you call an actuary with a sense of humour?

  Containing the very best classic actuarial jokes, such as: 
  How can you spot an extroverted actuary at a party?  
  He’s the one staring at someone else’s shoes.  
  As well as stacks of new jokes created especially for this book, such as: 
  Why was the actuarial vampire fired?  
  Because she was afraid of the stakeholders. 
  With jokes covering actuaries and their (lack of) personality and social life. Along with jokes on pensions, insurance, finance, mortality, statistics, Excel and even accountants. By the Law of Averages, you’re sure to find something that will eventually make you almost laugh.

  A Cup of Tea on The Commode - My...

  Mark enjoyed his carefree bachelor’s life in Los Angeles. He had no steady girlfriend, no children, few responsibilities outside of work. But that all changed when “The Call” came. Genevieve, his eighty-nine-year-old mother, was on her deathbed. He rushed back to New Jersey to be by her side. Hours became days, days became weeks, then she woke up. So, he moved back into his childhood home and took over her care. His first task was to remove all hazards, which included the current caregivers. 
   
  After, Mark asked his mother, “Do you trust me?” She whispered, “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means I’m in charge, and that means now you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked him dead in the eye, then puckered up her lips. He wasn’t sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing him luck. He kissed her and hoped for the best. 
   
  The parent/child role reversal may not have been unique to Mark, but how he dealt with it was. One day, hoping to make Genevieve’s time on the commode a tad more pleasant, he offered her a cup of her favorite beverage. It was a hit, and a cup of tea on the commode became a staple on the morning menu, and the clear choice for the title of this intimate, funny, and heartwarming memoir of how eldercare can be done. 
   
  A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles Mark’s multitasking adventures of filling his mother’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.

  Since coming to Dartmouth, Teddy Shackleford has been happier than she’s ever been. Not only is she surrounded by family and friends, but she’s also been dating Sebastian Sinclair, the fourteenth Duke of Blackmore for over a year. 
   
  Of course, she doesn’t imagine for a second that her relationship with an actual peer of the realm will be forever, but she’s determined to enjoy it while it lasts. However, when a story about her absent mother’s unusual profession is unexpectedly splashed over all the national newspapers, she’s faced with the fact that the end might come a little quicker than she’d hoped… 
   
  The fact that Teddy hasn’t seen or heard from her mother in years is irrelevant as far as the tabloids are concerned and the colourful accounts become ever more far-fetched. Advised to simply lay low until the gossips move on to the next story, she’s stunned to learn that her mother has agreed to give an actual interview to one of the newspapers. But sheer embarrassment is the least of her problems, since unbeknown to the world, Agnes Shackleford has links with the Japanese Mafia. 
   
  Teddy has no idea where her mother is, but it turns out, she’s not the only one looking… 
   
  Come to Dartmouth and join the Shacklefords for more madness, romance and mayhem, in this, the final instalment of the Shackleford Diaries.

  Did You Know ?Even though one pound of feathers and one pound of lead are known to have the same weights, it was said that lead felt heavier when people tested it.The color of the medications we take can subconsciously influence how we believe they will work. Even if the pills are nothing more than a placebo, the colors scheme fools our brain and body into thinking we've taken anything active. And, that, my friend, is how we are fooled by science.Typically, when female dogs poop, they automatically arrange themselves to face either north or south. They act this way because they are sensitive to the magnetic field of the Earth.Water has a triple point. Or, to put it another way, it may both freeze and boil at the same time. When the temperature and pressure are just right, the three phases of a substance (gas, liquid, and solid) coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.
