Today is the beginning of June. This month is known for weddings, and many women want to be June brides. Perhaps June is popular because of the beautiful flowers and the warm weather. Some say that it is because farmers were too busy in the spring to get married. In any case, it is the most popular month for weddings in the U.S. In Japan, June is not that popular. Actually, the most popular month for weddings in Japan is November. The 22nd day of the 11th month sounds good because 11 can be read as “ii” (“good” in English) and 22 can be read as “fufu” (“man and wife” in English). (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

1. An exam is like a girlfriend
An exam is just like a girlfriend. Both have too many questions. Both are difficult to understand. Both need explanations. And both often get the same result: FAIL!

2. Why?
Birth and death only come once in life. Love only comes once in life. Marriage only comes once in life.But why do these bloody EXAMS come over and over again!?”
