Surprise<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

In my experience most arguments are caused by the misunderstanding that you’re right.<br />

On a special teacher’s<br />

day, a kindergarten<br />

teacher was receiving<br />

gifts from her pupils.<br />

The florist’s son<br />

handed her a gift. She<br />

shook it, held it over<br />

her head, and said, “I<br />

bet I know what it is -<br />

flowers!”<br />

“That’s right!” said the<br />

boy, “but how did you<br />

know?”<br />

“Just a wild guess,” she<br />

said.<br />

The next pupil was the<br />

candy store owner’s<br />

daughter. The teacher<br />

held her gift overhead,<br />

shook it, and said, “I<br />

bet I can guess what it<br />

is - a box of candy!”<br />

“That’s right! But how<br />

did you know?” asked<br />

the girl.<br />

“Just a lucky guess,”<br />

said the teacher.<br />

The next gift was from<br />

the liquor store owner’s<br />

son. The teacher held<br />

the bag over her head<br />

and noticed that it was<br />

leaking. She touched a<br />

drop with her finger and<br />

tasted it. “Is it wine?”<br />

she asked.<br />

“No,” the boy replied.<br />

The teacher repeated<br />

the process, touching<br />

another drop to her<br />

tongue. “Is it champagne?”<br />

she asked.<br />

“No,” the boy replied.<br />

The teacher then said,<br />

“I give up, what is it?”<br />

The boy replied, “A<br />

What Does It<br />

Mean?<br />

Jenna was taking an<br />

afternoon nap on New<br />

Year’s Eve before the<br />

festivities. After she<br />

woke up, she confided<br />

to Max, her husband,<br />

“I just dreamed that<br />

you gave me a diamond<br />

ring for a New<br />

Year’s present. What<br />

do you think it all<br />

means?”<br />

Daniel was in no<br />

sensibly left his car<br />

in the parking lot and<br />

walked home. As he<br />

was wobbling along,<br />

he was stopped by a<br />

policeman.<br />

“What are you doing<br />

out here at four o’clock<br />

in the morning?” asked<br />

Deduction<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

A little boy who wanted<br />

$100 very badly<br />

prayed and prayed for<br />

two weeks, but nothing<br />

happened. Then he<br />

decided to write a letter<br />

to God requesting<br />

the $100.<br />

When the postal authorities<br />

received the<br />

letter to “God, USA,”<br />

they decided to send<br />

it to the President.<br />

The president was so<br />

impressed, touched,<br />

and amused that he<br />

instructed his secretary<br />

to send the little boy a<br />

$5 bill. The President<br />

thought this would<br />

appear to be a lot of<br />

money to a little boy.<br />

The little boy was<br />

delighted with the $5,<br />

and immediately sat<br />

down to write a thank<br />

you note to God which<br />

read “Dear God, Thank<br />

you for sending me the<br />

money. However, I noticed<br />

that for some reason<br />

you had to send<br />

it through Washington<br />

D.C., and<br />

as usual,<br />

those<br />

crooks<br />

deducted<br />

$95.”<br />

Not Where<br />

He Belongs<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

An old country doctor<br />

went way out to the<br />

boondocks to deliver a<br />

baby. It was so far out,<br />

there was no electricity.<br />

When the doctor<br />

arrived, no one was<br />

home except for the<br />

laboring mother and<br />

her 5-year-old child.<br />

The doctor instructed<br />

the child to hold a lantern<br />

high so he could<br />

see, while he helped<br />

the woman deliver the<br />

baby. The child did so.<br />

The mother pushed<br />

and after a little while,<br />

the doctor lifted the<br />

newborn baby by the<br />

feet and spanked him<br />

on the bottom to get<br />

him to take his first<br />

breath.<br />

The doctor then asked<br />

the 5-year-old what he<br />

thought of the baby.<br />

“Spank him again,” the<br />

5-year-old said. “He<br />

shouldn’t have crawled<br />

in there in the first<br />

place.”<br />

Blind Pilot?<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

I was flying from San<br />

Francisco to San<br />

Diego. By the time we<br />

took off, there had been<br />

a 45-minute delay and<br />

everybody on board<br />

was a little agitated.<br />

Unexpectedly, we<br />

stopped in Sacramento<br />

on the way. The flight<br />

attendant explained<br />

that there would be another<br />

45-minute delay,<br />

and if we wanted to<br />

get off the aircraft, we<br />

would re-board in 30<br />

minutes.<br />

Everybody got off the<br />

plane except one gentleman<br />

who was blind. I<br />

noticed him as I walked<br />

by and could tell he had<br />

flown before because<br />

his Seeing Eye dog lay<br />

quietly underneath the<br />

seats in front of him<br />

throughout the entire<br />

flight. I could also tell<br />

he had flown this very<br />

flight before because<br />

the pilot approached<br />

him and, calling him by<br />

name, said:<br />

“Keith, we’re in<br />

Sacramento for almost<br />

an hour. Would you like<br />

to get off and stretch<br />

your legs?”<br />

Keith replied, “No<br />

thanks, but maybe my<br />

dog Butch would like to<br />

stretch his legs.”<br />

All the people in the<br />

gate area came to a<br />

completely quiet standstill<br />

when they looked<br />

up and saw the pilot<br />

walk off the plane with<br />

the Seeing Eye dog!<br />

Life Span<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

On the first day, God<br />

created the dog and<br />

said: “Sit all day by<br />

the door of your house<br />

and bark at anyone<br />

who comes in or walks<br />

past. For this, I will<br />

give you a life span of<br />

twenty years.”<br />

The dog said, “That’s a<br />

long time to be barking.<br />

How about only<br />

ten years and I’ll give<br />

you back the other<br />

ten?”<br />

So God agreed.<br />

On the second day,<br />

God created the monkey<br />

and said, “Entertain<br />

people, do tricks,<br />

and make them laugh.<br />

For this, I’ll give you a<br />

twenty-year life span.”<br />

the dog did?”<br />

Sheriff Eric Samson<br />

Mary Dempsey & Alicia Hattena<br />

Andrew Poore, Director of<br />

And God agreed.<br />

On the third day, God<br />

created the cow and<br />

said: “You must go into<br />

the field with the farmer<br />

all day long and suffer<br />

under the sun, have<br />

calves, and give milk<br />

to support the farmer’s<br />

family. For this, I will<br />

“Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute.” — Edgar Alan Poe<br />

On the fourth day, God<br />

created man and said,<br />

“Eat, sleep, play, marry<br />

and enjoy your life. For<br />

this, I’ll give you twenty<br />

years.” But man said,<br />

“Only twenty years?<br />

Could you possibly give<br />

me my twenty, the forty<br />

the cow gave back, the<br />

ten the monkey gave<br />

back, and the ten the<br />

dog gave back; that<br />

makes eighty.”<br />

“Okay,” said God, “You<br />

asked for it.”<br />

So that is why the first<br />

twenty years we eat,<br />

sleep, play and enjoy<br />

ourselves. For the next<br />

forty years we slave in<br />

family. For the next ten<br />

years, we do monkey<br />

tricks to entertain the<br />

grandchildren. And for<br />

the last ten years, we<br />

sit on the front porch<br />

and bark at everyone.<br />

comprised primarily of Veterans of all the services and takes great pride<br />

in assisting Veterans in need. VOTAF conducts a myriad of events and<br />

1175 Minot Ave, Auburn • 207-783-8548 • morrisontruck.net<br />

In my next life I’m going to have more memory installed.<br />

According to a news<br />

report, a certain private<br />

school in Virginia<br />

recently faced a unique<br />

problem. A number of<br />

12-year-old girls were<br />

beginning to use lipstick,<br />

and put it on in the<br />

bathroom.<br />

That was fine, but after<br />

they put on their lipstick,<br />

they would press their<br />

lips to the mirror leaving<br />

dozens of little lip prints.<br />

Every night, the maintenance<br />

man would<br />

remove them and the<br />

next day, the girls would<br />

put them back.<br />

Finally, the principal decided<br />

to do something.<br />

She called all the girls<br />

to the bathroom and<br />

met them there with the<br />

maintenance man.<br />

She explained that all<br />

these lip prints were<br />

causing a major problem<br />

for the custodian<br />

who had to clean the<br />

mirrors every night.<br />

To demonstrate how<br />

difficult it had been to<br />

clean the mirrors, she<br />

asked the maintenance<br />

man to show the girls<br />

how much effort was<br />

required.<br />

He took out a long-handled<br />

mop, dipped it in<br />

the toilet, and cleaned<br />

the mirror with it.<br />

Since then, there have<br />

been no lip prints on the<br />

mirror.<br />

Sometimes there are<br />

teachers, and then<br />

sometimes there are<br />

Educators.<br />

Ham and<br />

Mustard<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.<br />

As ham sandwiches<br />

go, it was perfection.<br />

A thick slab of smoked<br />

ham, a fresh hoagie<br />

bun, crisp lettuce and<br />

plenty of expensive,<br />

light brown, gourmet<br />

mustard.<br />

The corners of my jaw<br />

aching in anticipation,<br />

I carried it to the picnic<br />

table in our backyard,<br />

picked it up with both<br />

hands, and was ready<br />

for the first, mouthwatering<br />

bite.<br />

Suddenly I was<br />

stopped by my wife<br />

with a sense of<br />

urgency.<br />

“Hold Joshua while I<br />

get my sandwich,”<br />

she said.<br />

With Joshua being six<br />

months old, I carefully<br />

balanced him between<br />

my left elbow and<br />

shoulder, and began<br />

reaching for my perfect<br />

ham sandwich again,<br />

when I noticed a streak<br />

of that gourmet mustard<br />

on my fingers.<br />

I love mustard. I really<br />

love gourmet mustard!<br />

I had no napkin.<br />

I did what comes natural.<br />

I licked it off.<br />

It was not mustard.<br />

No man ever put a<br />

baby down faster. It<br />

was the first and only<br />

time I have sprinted<br />

With a washcloth<br />

did the sort of routine<br />

shoeshine boys do,<br />

only I did it on my<br />

Later (after she<br />

stopped crying from<br />

laughing so hard), my<br />

wife said, “Now you<br />

know why they call that<br />

mustard ‘Poupon’.”<br />

Naps are tricky because you either wake up refreshed and relaxed or you have a<br />

headache, dry throat and unaware of what year you’re in.<br />

A man on a bike,<br />

carrying two saddlebags,<br />

was stopped by<br />

a guard while crossing<br />

the US-Mexican<br />

border.<br />

“What’s in the bags?”<br />

demanded the guard.<br />

“Sand,” the cyclist<br />

answered.<br />

“Take them off. I need<br />

to take a look,” retorted<br />

the guard.<br />

The guard emptied the<br />

bags and found out<br />

they contained nothing<br />

but sand. The man<br />

reloaded his bags and<br />

continued across the<br />

border. A week later,<br />

the same man was<br />

crossing again with<br />

two more bags. The<br />

guard demanded to<br />

see them, and again<br />

they contained nothing<br />

but sand. This continued<br />

every week for<br />

six months, until one<br />

day the cyclist failed<br />

to appear. A few days<br />

later, that same guard<br />

ran into the cyclist in<br />

Tijuana.<br />

“Hey, where have<br />

you been?” the guard<br />

inquired. “You sure<br />

had us wondering. We<br />

knew you were smuggling<br />

something across<br />

the border. So tell me<br />

and I won’t say a word.<br />

What was it?”<br />

May not be combined with daily specials. Exp 1.31.17<br />

The man smiled broadly<br />

and told him the<br />

truth, “Bicycles!”<br />

Trevor complained<br />

to his mother about<br />

how hard things were<br />

for him. ”As soon as<br />

I solve one problem,”<br />

he said, “another one<br />

comes up. I’m tired of<br />

struggling.”<br />

His mother, a professional<br />

chef, took him to<br />

the kitchen where she<br />

filled three pots with<br />

water and placed each<br />

on a high fire. Soon<br />

the pots came to a<br />

boil. In one she placed<br />

carrots, in the second,<br />

eggs, and in the last,<br />

ground coffee beans.<br />

She let them sit and<br />

boil, without saying a<br />

word.<br />

Trevor impatiently<br />

waited, wondering<br />

what she was doing.<br />

After a while, she went<br />

over and turned off the<br />

burners. She fished<br />

out the carrots and<br />

placed them in a bowl.<br />

She pulled the eggs<br />

out and placed them<br />

in a bowl. He poured<br />

the coffee into a bowl.<br />

Turning to him she<br />

asked, “Trevor, what<br />

do you see?”<br />

“Carrots, eggs, and<br />

coffee,” he replied.<br />

,<br />

She brought him closer<br />

and asked him to feel<br />

the carrots. He did and<br />

noted that they were<br />

soft. She then asked<br />

him to take an egg and<br />

break it. After pulling<br />

off the shell, he observed<br />

the hard-boiled<br />

egg. Finally, she asked<br />

him to sip the coffee.<br />

tasted its rich flavor.<br />

My life is just a series of awkward and humiliating moments separated by snacks.<br />

He asked, “What is<br />

She explained that<br />

each of them had<br />

faced the same adversity,<br />

boiling water, but<br />

each reacted differently.<br />

The carrot went in<br />

strong, hard, and unrelenting,<br />

but after being<br />

subjected to the boiling<br />

water, it softened and<br />

became weak.<br />

The egg was fragile.<br />

Its thin outer shell had<br />

protected its liquid<br />

interior, but after sitting<br />

through the boiling<br />

water, its inside<br />

hardened.<br />

The ground coffee<br />

beans were unique,<br />

however. By being in<br />

the boiling water, they<br />

changed the water.<br />

A Special<br />

Day<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

Over breakfast one<br />

morning, a woman<br />

said to her husband,<br />

“I bet you don’t know<br />

what day this is?”<br />

“Of course I do,” he<br />

indignantly answered,<br />

going out of the door to<br />

the office.<br />

At 10:00 am, the doorbell<br />

rang and when the<br />

women opened the<br />

door, she was handed<br />

a box containing a<br />

dozen long stemmed<br />

red roses.<br />

At 1:00 pm, a foil<br />

wrapped, two pound<br />

box of her favorite<br />

chocolates arrived.<br />

Later, a boutique delivered<br />

a designer dress.<br />

The woman couldn’t<br />

wait for her husband to<br />

come home!<br />

“First the flowers, then<br />

the chocolates, the<br />

then the dress! she<br />

exclaimed. “I’ve never<br />

had a more wonderful<br />

Ground Hog Day in all<br />

my life!<br />

S<br />

A New Year has begun! This is when people make New Year’s<br />

Resolutions, usually to improve their lives. Many people buy memberships<br />

to local gyms, where the signs read “Stop! … Look! …<br />

Lessen!” Many folks have good intentions, in order to lift their spirits,<br />

but end up at the gym only to weight a while and never get anything<br />

done. Lots of couples go to the gym together, but that is a bad idea<br />

because some relationships just don’t work out. Others trying to lose<br />

weight continue to frequent the coffee shops for rich beverages and<br />

delicacies. You could say they are making a mocca-ry of their diet.<br />

These people might be better off going to the paint store as I know<br />

they sell thinner there!<br />

Focus-driven people are very determined with their New Year’s<br />

Resolution, and they make a slow start with weightlifting, but they<br />

pick it up eventually. I think the hardest thing is finding a spotter at<br />

the gym, but when you do, it’s like a huge weight has been lifted off<br />

your shoulders.<br />

Being fit can also be your job or part of nature. There’s the astronaut<br />

who fails on a weightlessness experiment, and is immediately<br />

aware of the gravity of the situation. Then there is the termite who<br />

wants to lose some weight, so he started eating more lattice. And<br />

finally, we all know how fit a gymnast has to be, especially since they<br />

are always bending over backwards for people.<br />

The thought of becoming a gymnast springs into my mind however<br />

much I suppress it. When I learned that I couldn’t be a gymnast, I<br />

was all bent out of shape. I had to realize that the best floor exercise<br />

gymnasts come from Palm Springs, and I would eventually end up<br />

quitting gymnastics<br />

because I am not<br />

one to hang around<br />

the bars. Besides,<br />

when you have such<br />

unbalanced thinking,<br />

it will get you floored<br />

by an unparalleled<br />

accident...and I don’t<br />

want that!<br />

Jimbo is telling me it’s time to drop this set, unless I have some<br />

words of wisdom on a weight loss mantra. Fat chants, Jimbo, fat<br />

chants!<br />

I hope you will pull-up my article in next months issue!<br />

Quote<br />

“The object of a New<br />

Year is not that we<br />

should have a new year.<br />

It is that we should<br />

have a new soul and<br />

a new nose; new feet,<br />

a new backbone, new<br />

ears, and new eyes.<br />

Unless a particular man<br />

made New Year resolutions,<br />

he would make<br />

no resolutions. Unless<br />

a man starts afresh<br />

about things, he will<br />

certainly do nothing<br />

effective.”<br />

The beauty, grandeur and challenge of Pikes Peak<br />

has lured people to its summit for hundreds of years.<br />

In the late 1800’s, hardy workers built trails, a<br />

carriage road and a cog railway up the peak. The<br />

opening of the Pikes Peak Highway in 1915 allowed<br />

more people to see the spectacular view from the lofty<br />

summit. The next year, race car drivers challenged the<br />

mountain in the first Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb.<br />

Today over 500,000 people per year hike, drive or<br />

ride railway cars up the famous peak.<br />
