that was pretty funny actually! who thinks this stuff up????
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:58 pm
This is actually really funny if you grew up in one of the many ghetto neighborhoods in LA…maybe this is why some of you think it’s not. Anyone that says “wiping my butt with it” is definitely not from one of the neighborhoods! Ha!

i live in the GHETTO and i still wouldn’t give this to a bum to wipe his as with! white people humor kills me.
i got my own poll seeing aint no white people in this test because if u dont know they live in the ghetto too.
1. A white boy attends a rap concert and yells out n*gg** the crowd is 20% white, 10%hispanic, and 70%black. Which percentage is gonna whoop his ass?
2. Wendy is white and only dates black athletes. She sleeps on average with 10 black men a day if she does this for the next five yrs how many black men will she have slept with.

November 27th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
Yall are some serious dumbasses I can’t believe you don’t know how many leap years are in 5 years. Duh there is a leap year every 4 years so of coarse there is only one leap year. I live in the ghetto too and I have enough since to know that.

Name: Boo
Gang: Bloods
[1] 2 drive bys before reloading. (rounded off to the nearest whole drive by (26 bullets fired (0.6 x 26 = 15.6 bullets hit; 15 bullets when rounded down*.) leaving 4 bullets unfired in the clip))
* Assuming worse case scenario, bullets hitting should be rounded down.
[2] 320 / 3.5 = 91.43 (to 2 decimal places)
85 + 91.43 = 176.43
176.43 / 2 = $88.215 per gram on average
1 ounce = 28.35g
28.35g - 5.5g = 22.85g
22.85 x 88.215 = $2,015.71
The street value of the remaining cocaine is $2,015.71
[3] ((800/65)/3) = 4.1, rounded up to 5 tricks per girl
[4] 16 ounces in a pound
0.5 x 16 = 8
0.2 x 8 = 1.6
Jarome requires 1.6 ounces of cut
[5] 2 x 200 = 400
3 x 100 = 300
300 + 400 = 700
800 - 700 = 100
100 / 50 = 2
Willie needs to steal 2 Chevy’s.
[6] 100 x 12 x 6 = $7,200 spent
$10,000 - $7,200 = $2,800 left
# of years in jail for her murder may vary, but odds are that Raoul , having committed a second murder immediately after being released would get the maximum sentence. Presumably 25 years without parole. (I thought this was a maths test, not a legal studies test, so I’m a bit rusty. Sorry teach.)
[7] ((22 * 3)/3) = 22 letters.
[8] 22.2% (to 1 decimal place)
