The following have been adapted from the May 2018 issue of Reader's Digest.  For more, purchase a copy and read to your heart's content.

1)  An exercise program for people who need to begin gradually:

Begin with a 5 pound potato bag held in each hand. Extend your arms out from their side and hold for one minute and relax.

After several weeks, repeat with  a 10 pound potato bag.

Again, after several weeks repeat with a 50 pound potato bag and then a 100 pound potato bag.

Once you have achieved this, start over by putting a potato in each bag a start the series again.

2)  Two paintings in a art gallery:

Each seems to be exactly the same.  Each has a table covered by a checkered tablecloth.  Each has a bottle of wine, a loaf of brad and a  wheel of cheese.  One is priced at $1,000 and the  other at $1,500.  Why the difference?

The more expensive painting had a wheel of imported cheese.
