It is essential to have a file of fillers to turn to in times of need, like when I suddenly decide to take a trip, this one to Honolulu to stay in a friend's apartment while she is away and need to have seven completed columns before departure (tomorrow). This is the last one. It starts with a repeat of a poem about my favorite computer program, spellcheck: I have a spelling checker, it came with my PC. It plainly marks four my revue mistakes I cannot sea. I've run this poem threw it, I'm sure your pleas too no, Its letter perfect in its weigh -- My checker tolled me sew.

1. First of all, pick the number of days a week that you would like to eat out. 2. Multiply this number by 2. 3. Add 5. 4. Multiply this number by 50. 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1749. If you haven't, add 1748. 6. Last step: Subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should now have a three digit number: The first digit of this was your original number, how many times you want to go out each week. The second two digits are your age. This, we are told, is the only year it will ever work.
