Retire
Jin Wei loved boats and had a burning desire to take his own small boat around the world, or at least to Australia, though that voyage would take some time and further preparation. He decided to wait until he could retire . . .
Focus Groups
Jin Yen Wu just couldn’t believe it; the participants in the American focus groups didn’t embrace his concept of urban transportation for the new century in spite of their recently re-elected president supposedly fighting for lowered fuel consumption and Al Gore jumping on the band wagon with him. The problem seemed to revolve around difficulty in cornering with a full load of soccer girls and one or two soccer moms. There was also a question about cup holders . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Almost Every Home
The school was having a band uniform fund raising drive, and all of the students agreed to go door to door in their neighborhoods to sell chocolates to help. The twins, Juney and Judy, had pledged to go to every home in the neighborhood, but when they came to that weird house set way back in the trees and saw the pet door seeming to be unlatched, they agreed it was OK to skip just one. . . . .

Better Than a Chevy Volt
While touring China, the President saw what he thought of as an excellent alternative to big gas guzzling campers. It was cheaper to run than a Chevy Volt–in fact, it could be run on beans and cabbage for the pedaler. It sounded like a dream come true, the best of all worlds including exercise for the operator, until someone on staff pointed out the methane issue from the “processed” cabbage and beans that could cause global warming. . . . .
