So....i just have to share part of my presentation today. The audience was 8 or so new people that have been here since Monday, all from out of state. It's a training class....so i am part of the training. I present at 2pm and have one hour. Think about it, that's at least an hour after lunch and i am between them and their next break. Sooo.... I decide to make my presentation a mix of fun and work. I call it the Numbers/Triva Game. The mortgage industry has many "numbers" as you can imagine. Many of our standard forms are known by a number, so i throw this and a few accronyms in to keep them guessing. I also mix in a few other things such as.
If you plug your nose (use your fingers Paul) and close your mouth, it is impossible to hum
What's the number 332? The number of dimples in a golf ball
118? The number of ridges in a dime.
119? The number of ridges in a quarter
7? The maximum number of times you can fold a regular size sheet of paper in half
Your forearm is exaxtly the same length as your foot. One guy was 6' 8" and he said NO WAY....he pops off his shoe and sure enough...same length.
80%? The percentage of water contained in your brain.
4? The number of knees that an elephant has.....they are the only animal with this number and also the only animal that can't jump!
467? The number of questions an average 4 year old asks in a day.
Hopefully you can have a little fun with my Trivia Game. The group of trainees did! And mixed in with mortgage stuff, they learned a lot too. And it was FUN!

Paul and I both held out nose and closed our mouth sitting in our 2-butter chair!
