The Hoover Quote

        "When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a constructon job to do,we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general.

       It is only when we get into politics that we are satisified with the common man"

                                 Herbert Hoover (1874- 1964)

I had to read this a while to really get it.

 

Word to the Wise-Plethora

Plethora-many;plentyful

 

Bonus if you can make a short story starter,(beginning paragraph) using the word five times.

I have been covering these story starters in school a lot.

Super Erase and Sponge

Last Thursday, Ms. Davis was talking to us about future items dealing with technology. This is my story.  It is not true.

 

                    Super Erase and Sponge

All you teachers out there, do you have the time to erase your chalkboard? Well, here is a solution. Try the new Super Erase! With the press of one button, a windshield wiper with small erasers on the edges comes out. The unique design of the wiper rolls down the chalkboard erasing everything .

Do you not like cleaning your board every so often with water? Press another button on the control to release the Super Sponge. Wet sponges roll down the board and clean it instantly.

You can do all this while at your desk or anywhere in your room. The range is almost 20 feet. For the Super Sponge you have to change the water every two months.

To make all this happen, you attach a four-inch by twenty four-inch pipe above the chalkboard and turn the switch on. Best thing, it only needs six AA batteries. 

It comes out in 2005. The price is around twenty-four dollars at the most.
