All Quiet on the Baby Front...

I pause for a minute between studying for business associations and creating a rough outline of sales and leases of personal property to update you all on the baby situation here in Omaha.

THERE IS NO NEWS TO REPORT AT THIS TIME

I feel kind of like a public service announcer, but it works. For now Brooke is doing fine and there is no activity at this point. The biggest news we have is that the baby likes to use Brooke’s bladder as a punching bag.

It has come to my attention that it will most likely be me that will let everyone know that Brooke has had the baby. Apparently Brooke has no intention of texting or talking to people while she is in the hospital. Therefore I need to establish an order of importance for making my calls. I have decided that everyone needs a good laugh right now so comment below and tell us a good joke. The person with the best joke gets to be the first contacted. If you are not feeling very funny or can’t come up with a joke you can help me study by either defining the difference between seller’s remedies in sale contracts as opposed to lease contract as found in the Uniform Commercial Code article 2 and 2A or which section of the Model Business Corporation Act has the rule for when demand is required of a shareholder before a derivative action is filed. My guess is that you’ll have more luck telling us a joke.

For those of you who plan on sitting next to the phone for the next few days let me tell you a little secret. I really don’t want this baby born next week during finals so tomorrow when I get home from the last day of school I plan on hugging Brooke so hard the baby pops out. That would give us the weekend to have a new child in the house before I head off to finals. The problem with tomorrow is that it is Earth Day. Do I really want an Earth Day baby? I think she might turn out to be an ultra-environmentalist which is a little weird. Odds are I’ll start squeezing Brooke on Friday instead. That way we can avoid Earth Day and still be on the weekend.

Hopefully everyone is having a wonderful week and I expect to see lots of jokes!

Model Business Corporation Act

§ 7.42. DEMAND

No shareholder may commence a derivative proceeding until:

(1) a written demand has been made upon the corporation to take suitable action; and

(2) 90 days have expired from the date the demand was made unless the shareholder has earlier been notified that the demand has been rejected by the corporation or unless irreparable injury to the corporation would result by waiting for the expiration ofthe 90-day period.

CROSS-REFERENCES

"Derivative proceeding" defined, see § 7.40. "Shareholder" defined, see § 7.40.

Defining the different remedies in breach of contracts would have taken me 10 pages.

Your loving Father

Okay Dave. Here's your joke. Does this mean I get to be the first to know?!

The baby was coming way too fast so the paramedics were called. To make it worse, when they arrived, there was a power outage. The paramedics asked the four year old sister to hold the flashlight for them.

Despite the difficulties, all went well and the mother delivered a baby boy. The paramedic smacked him on the behind and he began to cry.

Looking over at the wide eyed little girl, the paramedic asked her what she thought about what she had just witnessed. She said, "That naughty boy should have never crawled in there. Spank him again!"

A father asked his young daughter what she would like for Christmas. She said that what she wanted more than anything else was a baby brother. And that Christmas Eve her mother came home from hospital clutching a baby boy.

The following year, the father again asked his daughter what she would like for Christmas. "Well," she replied, "if it's not too uncomfortable for Mommy, I'd like a pony."

One day, shortly after the birth of their new baby, the mother had to go out to do some errands, so the proud father stayed home to watch his wonderful new son.

Soon after the mother left, the baby started to cry. The father did everything he could think of, but the baby just wouldn't stop crying. Finally, the dad got so worried he decided to take the infant to the doctor.

After the doctor listened to all the father had done to get the baby to stop crying, the doctor began to examine the baby's ears, chest and then down to the diaper area. When he opened the diaper, he found it was
indeed full.

"Here's the problem," the doctor explained. "He just needs to be changed."

The perplexed father remarked, "But the diaper package specifically says it's good for up to 10 pounds!"

With all the new technology regarding fertility, a 65 year-old woman gave birth to a baby. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, her relatives came to visit.


"May we see the new baby?" one asked


"Not yet… Soon," said the 65 year-old mother.


Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked ...

"May we see the new baby now?"


"Not yet," said the mother.


After another few minutes had elapsed, they asked again ...

"May we see the baby now?"

"No," replied the mother.


Growing very impatient, they asked ...

"Well, when CAN we see the baby?"


"WHEN IT CRIES," she told them.


"WHEN IT CRIES??" they demanded. "Why do we have to wait until it CRIES??"

"BECAUSE, I forgot where I put it..."
