2. Why was Moses the most wicked man who ever lived?
3. On what toe does a corn never form?
4. What is the difference in a hungry man and a glutton?
5. Why should turtles be pitied?
6. Why should young ladies set good examples?
7. Why should the male sex avoid the letter A?
8. Why is chimney-sweeping a very agreeable business?
9. Why is a joke less durable than a church bell?
10. Why is Ireland likely to become the richest country in the world?
Bonus: Why should you never tell a man to take a back seat?

1. Batter
Karl ...
batter is close enough ... actually "a good batter".
Cam,
I need to check before r1 and r2 are computed.
If Cf=1 then
.......h1 = -c / b
else
.......r1 =...
.......r2 =...etc.
If CF = 1 then A will be zero.
Thanks again.
we have a 1. ... and we have a 2. ... but we don't have an r1 or an r2 ... :)
2. Moses broke all ten commandments at the same time.

This is probably not right but for #3, corn is not formed on toes, corn come from ears.
#9, A church bell is tolled over and over, and it does not even old, a joke is only good once.
