Saturday Brain Test and an Irish Blessing

How's your Brain?

This is a trick -- so don't say we didn't warn you.
READ THIS SENTENCE:

FEATURE FILMS ARE THE RESULT
OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now, count the F's in the sentence. Only once -- don't go back and count them again.













There are six F's in the sentence you read in the paragraph on the reverse side. An average intelligence recollects three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. if you get five, you can turn up your nose at most anybody. If you got all six you're a genius, and a lot too good to be wasting your time on foolishness like this.


Now on to the Blessing

Its a blessing to be Irish
And to look with Irish eyes
On the very special heritage
All sons of Erin prize...

It's a blessing to be Irish
And to celebrate in style
With other who are loyal
To the dear old Emerald Isle...

It's a blessing to be Irish
Sure it always will be, too --
As long as there's an Ireland
And Irish folks like you!


Today's post courtesy of some old papers left by my father that were given to my sister. Last night she shared them with me and I thought I would share them with you.

If you took the test, leave a comment and let us know your score.

I am average - I got three. Why do we skip the 'OF's? Do we consider them unimportant? Interesting!

How neat to have your father's papers!

Would love to say 6, but 4 is what it was. I like 3 or 4 - six means you over-analyze......
