How was your blood pressure Kimi? I found out that I had high blood pressure years ago because I had a weird head ache and went to the Dr. That was the first thing he checked. I never thought of it either.

114/76

I take medicine for blood pressure.  The headache went away with three Advil.  Thanks for asking.

Jose and Carlos are beggars. They beg in different areas of town.
Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects
about eight or nine dollars a day.

Jose bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day, he
drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage - free house, and has a lot of
money to spend.

"Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as
you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten-dollar bills
every day?

Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"

Carlos' sign reads; "I have no work, a wife and six kids to support."

"What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks him.

"No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!"

Carlos says "all right what does your sign say?"

It reads, "I only need another ten dollars to get back to Mexico ."
