~~ My father's method of accounting for the hundreds of
cattle on his ranch was very unique.
Every spring, he would move the herd down a long ramp,
through a wooden gate and into a holding pen for inspection.
As each animal entered the pen, he marked the count on
the gate.
One summer, he went to the bank to apply for a loan,
using his cattle for collateral.
The bank officer asked to see his records.
"No problem," replied Dad.
He went back to the ranch, took the gate off its hinges and
brought it to the bank.
Dad got the loan.

He had a horrible, horrible death.
His job was to stir the vats as they got kinda stuck together,
you know coagulated.
Well, one day he was doing his job stirring the vats as a bit
of urethene got stuck together.
They have a stir-rer in the vats but he had to get the excess
that they missed.
So here he was stirring the vat when one of the stirrers
catches the pole he's using to stir.
Sucker pulls him right into the vat.
Sure enough he drowns in this vat of Urethene.
It was a horrible, horrible death.
But man, what a beautiful finish.

"Yes, I can't ride my bicycle anymore," she said.
"And why is that?"
"Because it has a flat tire."


 
~~ The plan: to build a garden walkway made up of dozens

of wooden squares.
I decided I'd slice railroad ties into two-inch-thick pieces for
the sections.
That's what I told the clerk at the lumberyard.
"You got a power saw?" he asked.
"No," I said.... "Can't I just use my hand saw?"
He nodded slowly. "You could.
But I just have one question.
How old do you want to be when you finish?"



~~ When my septic system was clogged,
a friend volunteered to help me.
Pete climbed down into the pit with a snake and yards of cable.
After 15 minutes I heard him muttering:
"My mother needs a ride into the city,
my brother is coming to town,
my car has to go to the garage..."
"Pete," I asked, "what are you doing?"
"Practicing," he replied.
"For what?"
"For the next time you have a problem."

the stake.

~~ One Sunday morning a priest wakes up and decides to go golfing.
He calls his boss and says that he feels very sick, and won't be able to go to work.
Way up in heaven, Saint Peter sees all this and asks God, "Are you really going to let him get away with this?" "No, I guess not," says God.    The priest drives about five to six hours away, so he doesn't bump into anyone he knows.   The golf course is empty when he gets there. So he takes his first swing, drives the ball 495 yards away and gets a hole in one.   Saint Peter watches in disbelief and asks,
"Why did you let him do that?"   To this God says, "Who's he going to tell?"

~~ As a volunteer in my son's second grade class,
I was listening to one young fellow read.
The book he had chosen had several sentences with colons,

to do the line twice."

~~ In the summer of 2002, a six-man team led by
Cornell University ornithologist John Fitzpatrick went
on a month-long trek through marshland in Louisiana
to make a recording of what was thought to be one of
the world's rarest woodpeckers tapping in a distant
tree trunk.
(A pair of the birds had apparently been spotted by a
university student while he was turkey hunting in a
Louisiana swamp.)
When the team did not see any first-hand evidence of
the bird, they passed their tapes on to another team of
sound experts.
The verdict?.....
"Sadly," they reported, "analysis proved the sounds
were distant gunshots, with reverberations that sounded
to human ears like drumming on a hollow snag."


~~ Helping me sort clothes into "save" and
"give away" piles, my six- year-old daughter came
across a garter belt. "What’s this?" she asked.
"It’s a garter belt," I said.

"It’s for holding up stockings."
"Ah," she said, carefully placing it in the "save" pile,
"we’ll use it Christmas Eve."



~~ Frustrated at my attempts to find something
suitable for my diminutive daughter to wear that didn't
look like something for a child,
I approached a rather harried-looking saleswoman.
"What do you have for a petite woman about five feet tall,
around 95 to 100 pounds?" I asked.
The short, pleasantly plump clerk looked at me with
a rueful smile... "Nothing but contempt," she said.




~~ A girl looked calmly at a caller one evening and

remarked:
"George, as it is leap year—"
The caller turned pale.
"As it is leap year," she continued, "and you've been
calling regularly now four nights a week for a long,
Long time, George, I propose—"
"I'm not in a position to marry on my salary Grace"
George interrupted hurriedly.
"I know that, George," the girl pursued, "and so, as it is
leap year, I thought I'd propose that you lay off and give
some of the more eligible fellows a chance."

As she forced down the last sip, his grandmother noticed three of those little green army guys were in the bottom of the cup.
She asked, "Honey, why would three of your little army men
be in the bottom of my cup?"
Her grandson replied, "You know grandma, it's like on TV.
'The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup'."

replied, “I really don't know, but that's the way my mom
always did it.”

~~ The sages of the general store were discussing the veracity of old Petewete when Old Man Gus ambled in."What do you think about it, Gus?" they asked him.
"Would you call Petewete a liar?"
"Well," answered Old Gus slowly, as he thoughtfully
studied the ceiling, "I don't know as I'd go so far as to
call him a liar exactly, but I do know this much: when
feedin' time comes, in order to get any response from
his hogs, he has to get somebody else to call 'em for him.

Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!"....
Buddy didn't respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco, pull!"
Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!"
And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.

name three times.

was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try."

We spent most of the night fruitlessly searching and calling
for him, then in the morning a rescue team was flown in.
They soon found him, tired and mosquito-bitten, but safe.
Asked how he had spent the night, he said he tried to sleep,
but had been bothered by the moose calls.
"Moose?" I asked, surprised.

~~ My Dad told us that at work they had been given
shirts with their names on them.
A man came in and addressed Dad by his first name,
and kept on talking to him as if he knew him.

he didn't know him at all, the man was just reading
the name on Dad's shirt.
