NEW USES FOR OLD CALCULATORS
(This was written before computers were commonplace)

Many people have bought calculators which were considerably more expensive when they were bought, than the new ones available today. The new calculators are now less than half the price and they do so much more than the simple mathematical equations the former ones did. Calculators now are so small they can fit on the faces of watches, so the question people are asking themselves is: "What do I do with this old thing?"

As a public service, I have put together a short list of uses for the older type of calculator which are now obsolete as far as using them for calculating goes.

My invaluable list is as follows:

  • Wall ornament
  • Writing bad words upside down
  • Target practice
  • Stylish decorative holder for batteries
  • Something to throw during arguments
  • Electric bathtub shock maker
  • Pothole filler
  • Breakfast for a bionic friend

Perhaps the best use, is as something to waste an entire page in a book like I just did. It works great for making your book look thicker even though its full of junky articles like this one.
