One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. "I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you, " says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
Congratulations.

Press Release Source: The Harvard Learning Centers, Inc.
The Harvard Learning Centers, Inc. Announces Share Dividend as of December 31, 2006
Wednesday November 22, 9:49 am ET
BOCA RATON, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 22, 2006 -- The Harvard Learning Centers, Inc. (Other OTC:HVLN.PK - News), a Florida corporation (the "Company"), announces today a one for one share dividend to all shareholders of record as of December 31, 2006. The Company is currently in discussions with its transfer agent to determine the mechanism for the transfer. The Company will provide further information within the next two weeks either via a subsequent press release or on the Company's website.
ADVERTISEMENT
In addition, we are pleased to announce that, following the merger between the American Way Business Development Corporation ("AWYB") and the Harvard Learning Centers, Inc., the Company is now focused on expanding the Company's market share in the area of standardized test preparation. As an initial first step, the Company has hired a new marketing director with over 35 years' experience to build a sales force to promote the Company's services. Don Platten, President, states: "We believe there is a tremendous upside potential for the Company's business especially in light of the custom tailored services it brings to the market." He adds: "The combination of the former AWYB's marketing prowess and the unique approach in that area will create tremendous synergies and make the Company the standard in this business segment."
We anticipate a positive response in the marketplace and, ultimately, a significant increase in shareholder value. It is in that light that we have decided to reward our loyal shareholders for sticking with us through the turmoil of trying to deal with the shorts once and for all. Again, thank you for your loyalty and patience and, as we noted in our recent shareholder communication, "the shorts will not be able to delay the day of reckoning forever."

AWYB update...
Dear Shareholders,
Here's an update: We just got notified today by the State of Florida that the merger is approved. We have been in contact with our market makers and NASDAQ trying to get a new symbol as quickly as possible. Our market makers are discussing the matter with NASDAQ as we speak. Hopefully, they will be able to get a new symbol today. Under the worst case scenario, if NASDAQ remains obstinate, it may insist that we first file a 15C 2 11 under the newly merged company, THE HARVARD LEARNING CENTERS, INC. Of course, if we have to do that, it will take time but it's the only effective way to deal with the shorts.
After going through this process and dealing with the time, the expense and the aggravation, I can understand why the shorts almost always win. But this time it will be different; let's see who has the last laugh.
-Don

I just got off the phone with the TA Jeff Halton. He said that on 11/1 AWYB changed it's name to Harvard Learning though as of today, they have not recieved any certificates.
I told him that TDAmeritrade said Harvard Learning was a private company and asked him what happens to the shares when a public company changes it's name and the new company is a private company.
He didn't know. Suggested I call the company (Don Platten @
(561)305-6771)
Anyone who has spoken to Don before care to give him a call?
td
Thank you. I will do that.
td
I'm on the phone with TDAmeritrade right now. They told me that Harvard Learning Center is a private company. Can anyone comment on this?
They are trying to locate the TA name. I am wondering if requesting my cert is an option at this point. This is confusing.
thx

Ok, so tell us how you really feel...lol

I agree.

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car an was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.
The cop asked to see the blonde driver's license. She dug
through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated.
"What does it look like?" she finally asked.
The policewoman replied, "It's square and it has your picture on it."
The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman.
"Here it is," she said.
The policewoman looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying,
"Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop."

The following 15 Police Comments were taken off of
actual police car videos around the country:
#15 "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're
new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."
#14 "Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your
birth certificate a worthless document."
#13 "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."
#12 "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second?
In case you didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from
my gun."
#11 "So you don't know how fast you were going. I
guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"
#10 "Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor,
but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I am the shift
supervisor?"
#9 "Warning! You want a warning? O. K., I'm warning
you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket.
#8 "The answer to this last question will determine
whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"
#7 "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a
place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey
shit."
#6 "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my
wife gets a toaster oven."
#5 "In God we trust, all others we run through
NCIC."
#4 "Just how big were those two beers?"
#3 "No sir we don't have quotas anymore. We used to
have quotas but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."
#2 "I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good
personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."
And.................... THE BEST ONE!!!!!!!
#1 "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets?
... You're right, we don't. .... Sign here
Sorry,
Hair appointment went badly. Now where is my hat?
Now who would be afraid of us women folk?
