When I was a teenager, my Uncle Dominic (a great dad as well as a wonderful Uncle) showed me a mathematical trick with a calculator. He loved sharing fun stories and jokes he had picked up along the way. I don’t remember the story, but the punchline to the mathematical trick/joke – as shown on a DIGITAL calculator display was:
710 77345
When you turned the calculator upside down; with the digitally displayed-squared corner numbers, it read: shell oil
Calucator numbers, when viewed upside down, can appear as letters:
1 = L or I
3 = E
4 = h
5 = S
6 or 9 = G
7 = L
8 = B
0 = O
In my motivational/inspirational speaking as well as videos, I talk about ‘Seeing With New Eyes’; looking at life from a new/different perspective and awareness. Being a visual person, I tend to look at things from different angles and views. Think about the paintings that were popular, with a painting within a painting. If you allowed your eyes to go soft and lose focus, you could see another painting pop out!
It’s the same with life! Sometimes we see a situation or result in one set way. If we go back and re-look, re-view, re-visit, we can RE-FRESH our OUTLOOK about the situation! LOOKOUT, your life could change, for the better!
I also like going to a local family/Italian restaurant, because they put a big sheet of white paper on the tables to allow customers and kids to color/draw with crayons. I take advantage of the opportunity to ‘let my little kid out’. I like using the crayons to write my name, as well as other sayings BACKWARDS and UPSIDE DOWN and BACKWARDS! I love to DOODLE!
So, if you’re ever wonder if it’s a good time to laugh, try 3:34 (am or pm) or 7:07 (am or pm)!
WHY? Come on now, haven’t you been listening? Look at these times on a digital clock, UPSIDE DOWN and BACKWARDS!
3:34 = hEE
7:07 = LOL (laugh out loud)
If you need a reminder or trigger of when to take a break during the day and let out a healthy laugh or giggle, try: 3:37 and 7:07
At 3:34 let out a: HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE
At 7:07 LAUGH OUT LOUD!
At 4:45 Do a QUIET or SILENT laugh. Why? 4:45 (Upside Down and Backwards) = SHH – shhhhhhh, quiet please!
hee hee hee – oops wait a MINUTE, it’s not TIME for the hEE laugh!
ANY TIME IS A GOOD TIME TO LAUGH! Just turn your head to the side and look at the digital clock display upside down and backwards! [DON'T DO THIS IN YOUR CAR WHILE DRIVING!] hee hee, oops! shhhhhhhhh, LOL!!!!!
This has been a HIGHLIGHTED, HA HA Helen Szollosy of LAFOLOT moment… or minute … OH! I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!

TAKE ‘TIME’ TO LAUGH throughout your day!
