“Sunshine Yellow” – Mr. Matheson’s Arithme-TIPS for December 20, 2024

This might be the darkest joke I've included so far, but I'm a big fan of dark humor. I like to think that shouting out our dark thoughts rob them of power over us. Unfortunately, not everybody appreciates dark humor. For me, dark humor is a sanity-saving tool.

To each his own. Come back next week for some festive Arithme-TIPS.

Latch on to learning!
