Lemon Law<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

A pair of newlyweds on<br />

their honeymoon in<br />

California are riding<br />

bikes through San<br />

Diego County. As they<br />

get further into the ride,<br />

they come upon a<br />

citrus grove.<br />

Taking note of what<br />

they’ve come across<br />

the husband says:<br />

“Honey look! It’s a citrus<br />

grove. Have you<br />

had any experience<br />

picking lemons?”<br />

The wife pauses, looks<br />

at her husband and<br />

says: “Well honey, I’ve<br />

been divorced four<br />

times.”<br />

Pears<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

A squirrel is in a pine<br />

tree, when all of a sudden,<br />

it starts shaking.<br />

He looks down, and<br />

sees an elephant<br />

climbing the tree.<br />

"What are you doing?<br />

Why are you climbing<br />

my tree?" the squirrel<br />

calls down to the<br />

elephant.<br />

"I'm coming up there to<br />

eat some pears!" the<br />

elephant responds.<br />

"You fool! This is a pine<br />

tree! There aren't any<br />

pears up here!"<br />

The elephant looks<br />

perplexed for a<br />

moment, and then<br />

says, "Well I brought<br />

my own pears."<br />

Out ’n About at<br />

Whiting Farm<br />

with John F.<br />

Murphy Homes<br />

Whiting Farm has been<br />

part of its community since<br />

1937. Started by their parents,<br />

brothers Buster and<br />

Elmer had run the farm for<br />

decades, running 13 greenhouses<br />

and farming 60<br />

acres of their land. The farm<br />

closed in the Spring of 2013<br />

after Buster passed away.<br />

In December 2014 the<br />

farm was purchased by John<br />

F. Murphy Homes, a nonprofit<br />

company that offers<br />

services for people with developmental<br />

disabilities. The<br />

farm will now be a place for<br />

all to come and learn.<br />

Elmer is now a volunteer<br />

and is teaching the ropes to<br />

Kim Finnerty, Director of the<br />

Farm. They plan to raise<br />

vegetables and flowers in<br />

two greenhouses and 10<br />

acres. Kim, a teacher at Edward<br />

Little High School, will<br />

leave that position and continue<br />

to teach, but her students<br />

will be of all ages.<br />

“Eventually, the farm will<br />

have a very large educational<br />

aspect,” says Finnerty.<br />

Elmer is now 77-yearsold,<br />

is excited to see things<br />

growing again. He enjoys<br />

the new lease on life the<br />

farm has. “I do a little each<br />

day to help and teach,”<br />

Elmer shares.<br />

A huge team effort by<br />

many of the employees of<br />

JFM and even their children.<br />

They’re off and running and<br />

we look forward to the rebuilding<br />

of this community<br />

Anniversary<br />

Recall<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

If you are what you eat, then my dog is a calculator.<br />

A woman awakes in<br />

the middle of the night<br />

to find her husband not<br />

in bed. She puts on her<br />

robe and goes downstairs<br />

to look for him.<br />

She finds him sitting at<br />

the kitchen table with a<br />

cup of hot cocoa in<br />

front of him. He appears<br />

to be deep in<br />

thought, just staring at<br />

the wall. She watches<br />

as he wipes away a<br />

tear from his eye.<br />

"What's the matter,<br />

dear?" she whispers as<br />

she steps into the<br />

room. "Why are you<br />

down here at this time<br />

of night!?"<br />

The husband looks up<br />

from his drink, "It's the<br />

20th anniversary of the<br />

day we met."<br />

She can't believe he<br />

has remembered. She<br />

starts to tear up.<br />

The husband continues<br />

solemnly, "Do you remember<br />

20 years ago<br />

when we started dating?<br />

I was 18 and you<br />

were only 15."<br />

Once again, the wife is<br />

touched to tears thinking<br />

that her husband is<br />

so caring and sensitive.<br />

"Yes, I do," she replies.<br />

The husband pauses...<br />

coming easily.<br />

"Do you remember<br />

when your father<br />

caught us in the back<br />

seat of my car?"<br />

"Yes, I remember," said<br />

the wife, lowering herself<br />

into a chair beside<br />

him.<br />

The husband continued.<br />

"Do you remember<br />

when he shoved<br />

the shotgun in my face<br />

and said, 'Either you<br />

marry my daughter or I<br />

will make sure you<br />

spend the next 20<br />

years in prison?'"<br />

"I remember that too,"<br />

she replied softly...<br />

After 20 seconds he<br />

knocked again, but I<br />

just continued to ignore<br />

it. The knocks got<br />

louder and more frequent<br />

but I was determined<br />

not to move in<br />

the hope that he would<br />

just go away.<br />

Then, he decided to<br />

look through the window.<br />

He shouted, "Do<br />

you think I'm stupid? I<br />

can see you in there,<br />

sir. Open the door!"<br />

I said, "You're not coming<br />

in man!"<br />

you to step out of the<br />

exchange for a place to<br />

stay, would do chores<br />

around the property<br />

before they headed to<br />

a new city.<br />

In 1860 Abraham Lincoln<br />

actually stayed<br />

with my great great<br />

great grandma. She<br />

was a pretty bossy lady<br />

and gave Lincoln a<br />

long list of chores to do<br />

as soon as she met<br />

him.<br />

Finally when he<br />

thought he was done,<br />

my grandma said,<br />

"Last chores, Abraham.<br />

For dinner we're having<br />

stew, corn on the<br />

cob, and apple pie. I'll<br />

work on the stew, but<br />

you're going to be on<br />

the front porch shucking<br />

corn and peeling<br />

apples until there's<br />

nothing left in front of<br />

you."<br />

And with that, she led<br />

him outside where<br />

there were two huge<br />

baskets filled to the<br />

brim with apples and<br />

corn.<br />

Abraham started<br />

peeling and shucking.<br />

Marriage<br />

Secrets<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

A young couple decided<br />

to wed. As the big day<br />

approached, they grew<br />

apprehensive. Each had<br />

a problem they had<br />

never before shared<br />

with anyone, not even<br />

each other. The groomto-be,<br />

overcoming his<br />

fear, decided to ask his<br />

father for advice. "Dad,"<br />

he said, "I am deeply<br />

concerned about the<br />

success of my marriage."<br />

His father replied, "Don't<br />

you love this girl?"<br />

"Oh yes, very much," he<br />

said, "but you see, I<br />

have very smelly feet<br />

and I'm afraid that my fiancee<br />

will be put off by<br />

them."<br />

My doctor told me that jogging could add years to my life. He was right—I feel ten years<br />

older already.<br />

Name Game<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Two elderly ladies had<br />

been friends for many<br />

decades. Over the<br />

years, they had shared<br />

all kinds of activities<br />

and adventures.<br />

Lately, their activities<br />

had been limited to<br />

meeting a few times a<br />

week to play cards.<br />

I probably earn more money than all of your pets combined.<br />

In a recent double blind study, two people couldn't see anything at all.<br />

He said "shake what your mama gave ya" but I can't make all these insecurities jiggle.<br />

One day, they were<br />

playing cards when<br />

one looked at the other<br />

and said, “Now don't<br />

get mad at me. I know<br />

we've been friends for<br />

a long time, but I just<br />

can't think of your<br />

name! I've thought and<br />

thought, but I can't remember<br />

it. Please tell<br />

me what your name is.”<br />

Her friend glared at<br />

her. For at least three<br />

minutes she just stared<br />

and glared at her. Finally<br />

she said, “How<br />

soon do you need to<br />

know?”<br />

Selco wins the City of Auburn<br />

Economic Development Achievement Award<br />

Selco was initially founded in 1990 among five partners doing business as Distributors Clearing<br />

House. The business was located at 730 Main Street in Lewiston. The initial concept was to sell<br />

plumbing and heating supplies to both wholesale and retail customers. Jeff Allen started there as<br />

an employee and bought into the company in 1992 as the third partner, when a few of the<br />

original owners left. Four years later, they moved to 1525 Lisbon Street, and changed their name<br />

to Selco Plumbing and Heating Supplies to more clearly define the business and attract additional<br />

customers.<br />

Selco initially occupied only one quarter of the Lisbon Street building, but as their product lines<br />

and customer base grew, so did their footprint. Local plumbers, property owners,<br />

and handymen became regulars. As the years passed, and Jeff’s two<br />

partners retired, he became sole proprietor. Jeff longed for the security and<br />

value of owning a building for his business. “I was always on the lookout for<br />

a commercial property that would fit all our needs: sufficient space, high traffic,<br />

and an accessible loading dock,” explains Jeff. “Nothing ever seemed to<br />

cover it all, unit I looked at the Pontbriand’s facility. The City of Auburn has<br />

been excellent to deal with and very welcoming to me. Being in New Auburn<br />

now expands my capabilities so that they are limited only by my imagination.”<br />

An expanded showroom highlights bathroom fixtures, including new<br />

vanity lines and Delta’s Peerless Faucets. Selco stocks the area’s largest<br />

selection of Pex fittings and other repair parts you can’t find elsewhere –<br />

even at the big box stores. Selco also carries pellet stoves and parts, Rinnai<br />

room heaters, heat pump water heaters, and mini-split heat pumps.<br />

Selco is renowned statewide for having the largest selection of classic<br />

claw-foot tub parts and accessories – popular throughout the Twin Cities and among antiques collectors.<br />

Now in its 25th year of business, Jeff is increasing his product line once again, adding hardware<br />

such as common tools, cleaning supplies, and key-making services, to give the neighborhood back<br />

what Pontbriand’s once offered.<br />

Congratulations to Jeff for this great achievement! Winning the Economic Development<br />

Achievement Award for the city of Auburn is a great honor. Congratulate Jeff yourself, find him at<br />

his new home, at 61 Mill Street in New Auburn. Find him online at www.myselco.com or call<br />

783-6927. See his ad on page 47.<br />

I'm just going to see how long it takes this sketch artist to realize<br />

A man's wife asks him,<br />

“Would you pick up a<br />

loaf of bread at the<br />

store, and if they have<br />

eggs get a dozen?”<br />

He gets home, throws<br />

12 loaves of bread on<br />

the counter, and says,<br />

“They had eggs.”<br />

Testimonial for Uncle Andy’s Digest<br />

I started advertising in Uncle Andy’s Digest a few months ago<br />

and I am very pleased with the results the ads have created.<br />

The staff in their office has been great to work with.<br />

Specifically working closely with Tim Rucker as my account rep, he has<br />

been very helpful in creating an ad that best suits my business.<br />

I would highly recommend any business owner to include<br />

Uncle Andy’s Digest in their marketing budget. They bring BIG impact<br />

with a small budget!<br />

The things<br />

I have to do for<br />

my Dad...<br />
