A blonde and a lawyer
A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game?
The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa.
" Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00."""
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question.
What's the distance from the earth to the moon?
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer.
Okay says the lawyer, "your turn."
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"
The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer.
He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00.
The blonde says, "Thank you," and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
And you thought blondes were dumb.
The semicolon is an imperative bit of symbol and is a real image for the individuals who are battling. As Amy says, “A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you, and the sentence is your life.”
many individuals have drawn their body with the semicolon as an inspiration that their sentence and story is not over yet. They are still here, and they have another opportunity to improve things. The thought is that notwithstanding the past battles and hardships, you don’t need to stop where you are. By proceeding on, the sentence gets a fresh start and another spot to end.

Numerous individuals wear the image for all time as a suggestion to themselves that they are not the only one and where they are right now is not the end.
