~~ A retiring farmer needed to rid his farm of animals in
preparation for selling his land, so he went to every house
in his town.
To the houses where the husband was the boss,
he gave a horse.
To the houses where the wife was the boss,
he gave a chicken.
When the farmer arrived at the end of the street,
he met a couple who were outside gardening.
"Who's the boss around here?" he asked.
"I am," replied the man.
"Well, then, I have a black horse and a brown horse,"
the farmer said.
"Which one would you like?"

☼

The man thought for a minute and said, "The black one..."
"No, no, no... the brown one," interrupted the man's wife.
The farmer shook his head and remarked to the man,
"Here's your chicken."

~~ My sociology professor was discussing the unreasonable expectations
people have.
"We like to believe," he said, "that the people we love will do anything for us.
Climb the highest mountain.
Swim the deepest ocean.
Risk their lives out of love for us."
He singled me out and asked, "Do you think your boyfriend would go into
a burning building to save you?"
"I'm certain he would," I replied....... "He's a fireman."

☼

~~ The wife bought a jar of chocolate body paint which
she wanted me to smother her body with last night.
I wish I'd thought to get the paint roller out the shed.

~~ Out in Kansas, tornadoes often hit with sudden devastation,
and without warning.
In one case, a house was completely whisked away, leaving only the
foundation and first floor.
A silver- haired farm lady was seen sitting dazed, in a bathtub, the only
remaining part of the house left above the floor.
The rescue squad rushed to her aid and found her unhurt.
She was just sitting there in the tub, talking to herself.
"It was the most amazing thing...it was the most amazing thing."
she kept repeating dazedly.
"What was the most amazing thing, Ma'am?" asked one of the rescuers.
"I was visiting my daughter here, taking a bath, and all I did was pull the
plug and dog-gone-it if the whole house didn't suddenly drain away."

☼

~~ I work in a doctor's office, and part of my job is to perform hearing tests.
One day I was preparing to test a six-year-old patient.
"Do you ever hear ringing in your ears?" I asked.
"Oh, yes," she replied solemnly. "Every day at recess."

☼

~~ My husband, an attorney, is frequently consulted by clients
who, after learning what the cost of legal services will be,
decide to do without his aid.
Recently the elderly minister of a small, struggling church
came in with a legal problem.
After patiently listening to an explanation of my husband's fees,
he left the office with a prudent:
"Thank you, sir, but I believe I'll just pray this one through."

☼

~~ One good thing about getting older is that multi-tasking
becomes easier....... .............You can sneeze, pee, and poop
yourself all at the same time!

☼

~~ When the husband came home from his job, he found his wife crying.
"Your mother insulted me, very much." she sobbed.
"My mother? How could she do that when she's on a vacation
on the other side of the world?"
"I know. But this morning, a letter addressed to you arrived.
I opened it, because I was curious."
"And?"
"At the end of the letter, it was written:
P.S. Dear Melissa, when you've read this letter,
don't forget to give it to my son."

☼

~~ Some people just aren't happy unless they have
something to complain about.
I stayed in a beautiful hotel right on the beach in California...
an idyllic spot, you would think.
But while I was waiting to check out,
I heard the manager ask another guest, "Did you enjoy your stay?"
"Not really," the man said grimly.
"I'm sorry to hear that," the manager apologized.
"What was the problem?"
"The surf was too loud."

Rae's Trivia....For his act with the Great Moscow Circus, contortionist Hugo Zamoratte dislocates every bone in his body except his fingers, toes and spine... But his body-bending antics went awry during a practice session when he squeezed into a bottle and - wouldn't you just know it - the opening somehow became pinned shut...

time she explained it.
I found out why when I overheard her tell one man,
"Strip down facing me."

an appointment to have her wisdom teeth removed
immediately following her semester exams.
After the procedure was over, the oral surgeon came into

Then he added, "I have to tell you,

about everything -- their love lives, embarrassing moments.
Some of them even start swearing at us.

Todays Thought; "Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world."


Rae's Trivia... Do ostriches really bury their heads in the sand?.    In popular mythology, the ostrich is famous for hiding its head in the sand at the first sign of danger..      There have been no recorded
observations of this behaviour..  The myth may have resulted from the fact that, from a distance, when ostriches feed they appear to be burying  their head in the sand because they deliberately swallow
sand/pebbles to help grind up their food... When lying down and hiding from predators, the birds are
known to lay their head and neck flat on the ground.. When threatened, ostriches run away, but they can also seriously injure with kicks from their powerful legs..
I was also amazed to find out that ostriches can live up to 70 years and their eggs are the largest of all eggs.

Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again,
"I'm the greatest hitter in the world!"
He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he swung
again and missed. "Strike Two!" he cried.
The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball
carefully.
He spit on his hands and rubbed them together.
He straightened his cap and said once more, "I'm the
greatest hitter in the world!"
Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it.
He missed. "Strike Three!"
"Wow!" he exclaimed.

When he came in the next day, she thanked him for his '
generosity' and she said she could tell the character of a
diner by the way he tipped.
"Yeah? What can you tell about me?" he asked.

Rae's Trivia.... How much counterfeiting went on during the Civil War?      By the end of the Civil War, between one-third and one-half of all U.S. paper currency in circulation was counterfeit.

In less than a decade, counterfeiting was sharply reduced.

used mercury to stabilize wool.     Most of them eventually became poisoned by the fumes,
as demonstrated by the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's  Alice in Wonderland.
