Puppy Love<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

“I feel there is nothing more artistic than loving people.” — Vincent Van Gogh<br />

When Joe met Betty<br />

he immediately fell in<br />

love with her. She also<br />

seemed to be enjoying<br />

his company greatly.<br />

After dating for some<br />

time Joe decides to<br />

pop the big question to<br />

Betty. Mustering all his<br />

courage one day he<br />

walks up to Betty.<br />

“Ummm…Betty?” Joe<br />

says.<br />

“Yes, Joe.” Betty<br />

replied.<br />

“You know it is really<br />

great to be a bachelor,<br />

but after a period<br />

of time every man<br />

needs someone in<br />

his life-who will make<br />

him feel like a hero,<br />

whom he can claim as<br />

his own, who will love<br />

him unconditionally,<br />

who will be caring and<br />

remain true to him all<br />

the time.” Joe finally<br />

finishes.<br />

Joe was happy to look<br />

up to see understanding<br />

eyes from Betty. He<br />

started to feel elated.<br />

Then Betty nodding<br />

her head in agreement<br />

said “I understand<br />

what you mean and I<br />

totally agree with you,<br />

Joe.<br />

Let’s go and see<br />

where we can find a<br />

puppy for you.”<br />

Gifted Hands<br />

Barbershop<br />

Not everyone has to like you. Not everyone has taste.<br />

<strong>Uncle</strong> Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong><br />

6<br />

Barber/Owner, Cody Childs<br />

Cody Childs recently<br />

opened Gifted Hands<br />

Barbershop in Auburn.<br />

Cody has been cutting hair<br />

for a year and a half now.<br />

He was inspired to become<br />

a professional barber by<br />

his <strong>Uncle</strong> Don Borodin.<br />

Don has been a Master<br />

Barber for over 30 years,<br />

and owns a very successful<br />

barbershop in the Lewiston<br />

area, Blais Barbershop.<br />

In June 2015 Childs enrolled<br />

at Aveda Institute of Maine<br />

for the Limited Barbering<br />

program, which specialized<br />

in men and boys hair cuts<br />

and straight razor shaving.<br />

Childs started classes in<br />

October of 2015, and completed<br />

the 800 hour program<br />

in June 2016.<br />

Upon graduation he considered<br />

many job opportunities.<br />

However, he had a<br />

different goal in mind. He<br />

wanted a shop of his own,<br />

a shop that could do both<br />

the classic and trending<br />

styles. Childs wanted a<br />

place you could stop in<br />

and get a good old fashion<br />

straight razor shave with<br />

the hot lather and hot towel<br />

finish. If you’ve had it done<br />

before you know its one of<br />

the finer things in life!<br />

Childs began searching<br />

for a location to indulge<br />

into his own business. On<br />

October 19th, 2016 Childs<br />

opened his shop here in<br />

the L/A community. Cody<br />

Childs is now the proud<br />

owner of Gifted Hands<br />

Barbershop, located 120<br />

Center St., Ste 205 Auburn<br />

Actor’s<br />

Marriage<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

An aspiring young<br />

actor asked a young<br />

lady’s father if he could<br />

have his daughter’s<br />

hand in marriage. The<br />

father said, “I would<br />

never let my daughter<br />

marry an actor.”<br />

The actor said, “Sir, I<br />

think you may change<br />

your mind if you see<br />

me perform. Won’t you<br />

at least come and see<br />

the play?”<br />

So, the father went<br />

to see the play, and<br />

the next day he called<br />

the actor and says,<br />

“You were right, I did<br />

change my mind. Go<br />

ahead and marry my<br />

daughter. You’re no<br />

actor.”<br />

I like you a lottle. It’s like a little, except a lot.<br />

Fell Asleep<br />

Mr. Millett, a 2nd grade<br />

teacher, fell asleep in<br />

class and a Little Johnny<br />

walked up to him,<br />

“Mr. Millett, are you<br />

sleeping in class?”<br />

“Then what were you<br />

Mr. Millett replies, “I<br />

says “Johnny, you are<br />

“Then, what were you<br />

Blind Love?<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

Don’t confuse an open mind with one that’s vacant.<br />

In California lived a<br />

blind girl. She had been<br />

blind since childhood<br />

and was sad about her<br />

shortcoming. No one<br />

wanted her except her<br />

boyfriend who loved<br />

her very much.<br />

One day they got news<br />

from the health department<br />

that someone has<br />

agreed to donate eyes<br />

to the blind girl. The girl<br />

was excited knowing<br />

that now, after so many<br />

years she would be<br />

able to see from her<br />

own eyes. She expressed<br />

her excitement<br />

with her boyfriend.<br />

Listening to this, her<br />

boyfriend just smiled<br />

and hugged her, letting<br />

her know he loved her<br />

no matter what. The<br />

day arrived and the operation<br />

was a success.<br />

When she opened her<br />

eyes she called for<br />

her boyfriend, but she<br />

learned to know that<br />

he would not be able<br />

to come. One day, her<br />

boyfriend returned to<br />

her. He had gone blind.<br />

My short-term memory is not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my short-term memory is<br />

not as sharp as it used to be.<br />

He proposed marriage<br />

to her but seeing him<br />

blind she declined the<br />

offer. She said that now<br />

that she could see why<br />

would she marry a blind<br />

person and take the<br />

burden for life. He went<br />

away brokenhearted<br />

and said “Take care of<br />

yourself and my eyes”<br />

before leaving. She did<br />

not know that the eyes<br />

through, which she<br />

could see now where<br />

Do You Have<br />

The Time?<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Paula had been driving<br />

all night and was still<br />

at least six hours away<br />

from her destination. It<br />

was almost ten o’clock<br />

in the morning and<br />

she was extremely<br />

fatigued. After dozing<br />

off and nearly crashing<br />

into a telephone pole,<br />

she decided to pull<br />

into a rest area. Paula<br />

switched off the engine<br />

and closed her eyes<br />

and drifted off, gratefully,<br />

to sleep.<br />

I don’t go crazy. I am crazy. I go normal from time to time.<br />

As she did an old man<br />

in a bright yellow jogging<br />

tracksuit knocked<br />

on her window, scaring<br />

her half to death.<br />

“Sorry to wake you,<br />

ma’am,” he huffed, jogging<br />

on the spot, “But<br />

can you tell me what<br />

time it is?”<br />

Paula glanced at her<br />

watch. “10:00,” she<br />

answered through the<br />

window.<br />

“Just my luck,” she<br />

muttered. “I’m parked<br />

on someone’s jogging<br />

route.” With a sigh, she<br />

settled back into her<br />

Now, they were just<br />

annoying.<br />

“Hi,” said the first.<br />

“Do you have the<br />

time?” his fair-haired<br />

friend asked.<br />

Paula let out a big sigh<br />

and said, looking at<br />

her watch. “10:08.”<br />

“Thanks,” they smiled<br />

as they jogged off.<br />

Paula looked down the<br />

road and saw more<br />

joggers coming her<br />

way. Now irritated,<br />

she found a pen from<br />

the glove box and<br />

scrawled: “I DO NOT<br />

KNOW THE TIME” on<br />

the back of a magazine.<br />

She put the hastily<br />

constructed sign in<br />

the window and settled<br />

back to sleep.<br />

Soon a thin, pale<br />

jogger knocked on the<br />

window just as she<br />

had started dozing off.<br />

Paula pointed at the<br />

sign and shouted, “For<br />

goodness sake, can’t<br />

you read?”<br />

To which he replied,<br />

“Sure I can, ma’am. I<br />

just wanted to let you<br />

know: It’s 10:10.”<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

Man: 15 years<br />

Lady: So 1 pack cost<br />

$10.00 and you have<br />

3 packs a day which<br />

puts your spending<br />

each month at $900. In<br />

one year, it would be<br />

spend $10,800 not<br />

accounting for inflation,<br />

the past 15 years<br />

puts your spending at<br />

$162,000 correct?<br />

Man: Correct<br />

Lady: Do you know that<br />

if you hadn’t smoked,<br />

that money could have<br />

been put in a step-up<br />

Steve Grenier<br />

Celebrating 30 Years<br />

Teaching Music<br />

Steve’s love for music began<br />

when he was nine years<br />

old. St. Louis School in New<br />

Auburn offered a free string<br />

program to all interested<br />

students. Steve enrolled and<br />

soon excelled. After a very<br />

short time, he was being<br />

shuttled to a different school<br />

to play with more advance<br />

students.<br />

In 1985 he began guitar<br />

lessons at Carroll’s Music<br />

Center with local guitarist<br />

Denny Breau. After a year of<br />

lessons, Denny told Steve to<br />

“take six months to play what<br />

we have worked on and call<br />

me to restart lessons.” Anxious<br />

as Steve was to learn,<br />

he called to set up lessons<br />

three months later. After two<br />

lessons Denny approached<br />

co-owner Colleen Poulin and<br />

said to her, “Steve doesn’t<br />

need lessons, he needs students.<br />

Sign him up to teach.”<br />

And so began the journey.<br />

Steve’s life-long music teaching<br />

career started in 1987,<br />

at age 16, teaching guitar at<br />

Carroll’s Music Center.<br />

In 2009, Carroll and Collen<br />

announced the closure<br />

of Carroll’s Music Center.<br />

Unwilling to let go of the<br />

years of work and training<br />

Steve put into his career, he<br />

partnered with co-worker and<br />

friend Arthur Melendy and<br />

the two of them opened Main<br />

Street Music Lessons five<br />

weeks later. “Our students<br />

never missed a lesson in<br />

the transition,” says Steve...<br />

Almost eight years later they<br />

have grown into an amazing<br />

small business with ties deep<br />

into the community.<br />

Currently Steve can be found<br />

at Main Street Music Lessons<br />

teaching and repairing<br />

instruments or on stage with<br />

the L.A. Harley Band and<br />

latest adventure, his new<br />

band Fire in the Hole.<br />

I may not be Wonder Woman but I can do things that make you wonder.<br />

Janet went to an electronic<br />

shop in anger<br />

and threw her new laptop<br />

on the desk at the<br />

she bought it from.<br />

Janet yelled at the<br />

salesman saying she<br />

is unable to transfer<br />

her files from her<br />

this one.<br />

Salesman says,<br />

“Janet, can you please<br />

show me how you<br />

have tried to transfer<br />

your files?”<br />

So Janet showed him<br />

how it didn’t work:<br />

1) Right clicked the<br />

mouse on the file<br />

which she wanted to<br />

transfer and selected<br />

COPY option.<br />

2) Disconnected the<br />

mouse from that<br />

computer.<br />

3) Took that mouse<br />

carefully and connected<br />

it to the other<br />

computer where she<br />

wanted to copy that<br />

file.<br />

4) Right clicked the<br />

mouse and selected<br />

the PASTE option.<br />

The Salesman<br />

Pawnshop Industry Facts<br />

• Pawnshops are required to report EVERY pawn or<br />

purchase transaction to their local police department<br />

• These police reports have shown that pawnshops<br />

received less than one tenth of 1% of items reported<br />

stolen or lost<br />

• Pawn businesses are heavily regulated and<br />

• Pawn loans are usually small, short-term loans<br />

as evidenced by the low national average loan<br />

amount of $80 and have no negative credit effect.<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

A man walks past a<br />

beggar every day and<br />

gives him $10 and<br />

continues that for a<br />

year. Suddenly the<br />

daily donation changes<br />

to $7.<br />

“Well,” the beggar<br />

thinks, “it’s still better<br />

than nothing.”<br />

A year passes in this<br />

way until the man’s<br />

daily donation suddenly<br />

becomes $3.<br />

“What’s going on<br />

now?” the beggar asks<br />

his donor.<br />

“First you give me $10<br />

every day, then $7 and<br />

now only $3. What’s<br />

the problem?”<br />

“Well,” the man says,<br />

“last year my eldest<br />

son went to university.<br />

It’s very expensive, so<br />

I had to cut costs. This<br />

year my daughter also<br />

went to university, so I<br />

had to cut my expenses<br />

even further.”<br />

“And how many children<br />

do you have?” the<br />

beggar asks.<br />

“Four,” the man<br />

replies.<br />

“Well,” says the beggar,<br />

“I hope you don’t<br />

plan to educate them<br />

all at my expense.”<br />

When Timmy went in<br />

for an interview at ABC<br />

company, he was hired<br />

after a very brief interview.<br />

A little skeptical<br />

at first, Timmy asked<br />

the company representative<br />

a few questions.<br />

It went like this.<br />

ABC: Trust me, this<br />

company could really<br />

use someone new.<br />

Timmy: If there is too<br />

much work, I’m going<br />

to quit.<br />

ABC: We’d NEVER<br />

let something like that<br />

happen.<br />

Timmy: Do employees<br />

get every Saturday<br />

and Sunday off?<br />

ABC: That’s a given.<br />

Timmy: Are employees<br />

required to work overtime<br />

without pay?<br />

ABC: No way. Where<br />

did you even come up<br />

with such a ridiculous<br />

idea?<br />

Timmy: Are meals<br />

subsidized?<br />

ABC: You BET!<br />

Timmy: Do the new<br />

employees usually<br />

end up doing ALL the<br />

work?<br />

ABC: That’s impossible.<br />

There are so many<br />

other experienced people<br />

in our company.<br />

his younger cousin<br />

Tommy asked him,<br />

“How many women can<br />

a man marry?”<br />

“Sixteen,” Little Timmy<br />

so quickly. Then<br />

asked, “How do you<br />

know that?”<br />

“Easy,” Little Johnny<br />

Auburn Police Chief Phillip<br />

L. Crowell, Jr. is proud to<br />

announce that the Auburn<br />

Police Department has been<br />

awarded national<br />

re-accreditation.<br />

On November 5, 2016, in<br />

Charleston, South Carolina,<br />

the Auburn PD was awarded<br />

international recognition for<br />

the 4th time by the Commission<br />

on Accreditation for<br />

Law Enforcement Agencies<br />

(CALEA).<br />

During an Auburn City Council<br />

Meeting held on Monday,<br />

January 23, Karen Shepard,<br />

Assessment Manager for<br />

CALEA, presented Chief<br />

Crowell and his staff with<br />

their official certificate of<br />

“Gold Standard Accreditation,<br />

With Excellence.”<br />

“The APD stands out as a<br />

model of excellence in law<br />

enforcement,” said Chief Phil<br />

Crowell. “I am so proud of my<br />

team - each of them worked<br />

tirelessly to earn the highest<br />

recognition of law enforcement<br />

professional excellence.<br />

That is really something to be<br />

proud of.”<br />

According to Accreditation<br />

Manager Liz Allen, “Only 5%<br />

of municipal law enforcement<br />

agencies in the United States<br />

are fully accredited and far<br />

fewer have received the<br />

‘With Excellence’ designation<br />

under the Gold Standard<br />

process of review.” Auburn<br />

is one of only a handful of<br />

law enforcement agencies<br />

in Maine to receive national<br />

accreditation. “We received<br />

our first full accreditation in<br />

2007,” said Allen. “And it has<br />

been part of our In 2013, APD<br />

became the first agency in<br />

Maine to achieve the Gold<br />

Standard level of Accreditation.<br />

Assessors will reevaluate<br />

Happiness is not setting the alarm for the next day.<br />

Mr. Schwartz was the<br />

oldest of 7 children, so<br />

he had to quit school<br />

and work to help support<br />

his younger brothers<br />

and sisters. He<br />

never learned to read,<br />

so when he married<br />

and started a checking<br />

account, he signed his<br />

checks simply “XX”.<br />

Eventually he started<br />

his own business,<br />

which immediately<br />

prospered.<br />

He soon was a very<br />

rich man. One day,<br />

he got a call from his<br />

bank. “Mr. Schwartz,”<br />

said the banker, “I<br />

need to ask you about<br />

this check. We weren’t<br />

sure you had really<br />

signed it. All these<br />

years you’ve been<br />

signing your checks<br />

‘XX’, but we just got<br />

one that was signed<br />

with three XXX’s...”<br />

Mr. Schwartz answered,<br />

“No problem,<br />

my friend. It’s just that<br />

since I’ve become<br />

so wealthy, my wife<br />

thought I ought to have<br />

a middle name.”<br />

Babies make<br />

everything better<br />

Sometimes people are beautiful, not in looks, not in what they say, just in what they are.<br />

<strong>2017</strong> marks Make-A-Wish Maine’s twenty-fifth year granting wishes<br />

to kids in our state. A flurry of anticipated energy and outreach is timed<br />

succinctly with the addition of several key board members as well as a<br />

new executive director who will focus on development efforts to ensure<br />

the next twenty-five years of wishes can be granted,” says Marketing<br />

Director Sonya Purington.<br />

The Make-A-Wish Maine Board of Directors’ nominee from the<br />

Lewiston-Auburn area is Jimbo Marston, Owner and President of <strong>Uncle</strong><br />

Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong>. Marston’s involvement with Make-A-Wish began in 2015<br />

when proceeds from <strong>Uncle</strong> Andy’s twentieth anniversary event benefited<br />

Make-A-Wish. Two wishes were granted in Androscoggin County<br />

thanks to the inaugural event. In 2016, <strong>Uncle</strong> Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong> partnered<br />

with Mac’s Grill and the LA Metro Chamber to host the Summer Block<br />

Party. The event raised funds to grant wishes to five more Maine kids.<br />

“Jim brings a passion for our mission, first-hand-knowledge of the<br />

power of a wish, marketing savvy and great connections in Androscoggin<br />

County,” says Marketing Director Sonya Purington.<br />

In addition to <strong>Uncle</strong> Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong>, Marston<br />

owns LA Metro Magazine, serves as President of<br />

the Auburn Wealth Builders BNI group, is a graduate<br />

of the Androscoggin Leadership Development<br />

Institute and Dale Carnegie Institute, and is affiliated<br />

with Toastmasters, LA Metropolitan Chamber of<br />

Commerce and the Auburn Exchange Club.<br />

When asked what brought him to Make-A-Wish,<br />

Marston explains, “MAW stands out in the crowd of<br />

non-profits because you know exactly where<br />

that money is going once it’s raised. It’s<br />

tangible, it’s measurable and it stays local.<br />

MAW is a first-class organization<br />

making a difference every day!”<br />

When Marston’s not busy with<br />

his professional obligations and<br />

philanthropic commitments, he<br />

enjoys spending time at his home<br />

in Mechanic Falls with his wife<br />

Sue of 23 years, his children<br />

and two young grandchildren.<br />

He enjoys enjoy playing<br />

racquetball and golf and they<br />

breed Golden Retrievers.<br />

Tickle Your Punny Bone<br />

with Ron Hood<br />

Ron Hood is the Director of Owner Services<br />

for Owner Media Group. He has a joke/pun<br />

of the day on his Facebook page (facebook.com/pezcollector)<br />

and a daily video<br />

pun on Snap Chat (Username: ron.hood).<br />

Feel free to add Ron as your friend. You<br />

can reach out to Ron with a punny note at<br />

OTDweather@gmail.com<br />

“I<br />

S<br />

<strong>February</strong> is the month of love. Although I<br />

find Valentine’s Day to be pure cupidity,<br />

I do know that many people love this holiday because they can party<br />

hearty! Personally, I love the very small Valentine notes (I call them<br />

Valen-tiny notes) because of the pun-ishment they deliver. I am sure that<br />

once in your life you have received a card that has a picture of 2 Deer<br />

with 2 hearts on it with the words, “Deer Valentine, Let’s have a ‘heart to<br />

heart.” That is funny stuff and these Valen-tiny’s are sold in group packs,<br />

which make their individual cost under a buck! It just goes to prove that<br />

you do not have to spend a lot of doe to have a ton of fawn.<br />

People celebrate Valentine’s Day in many different ways. My friend,<br />

Farmer Tim, gives his wife, Karen, hogs and kisses, but the pigs insist<br />

it is really Valen-swine’s Day! He also gives her a jar of her favorite<br />

pickles because she means a great dill to him. Karen says that love on<br />

the farm can be interesting. The skunks are known to be scent-imental<br />

while the cats are always playful and PURR-fect. With love in the<br />

air, the bats are fun to hang around, and the birds quickly become<br />

tweethearts. The squirrels are just nuts about each other, and the<br />

near-sighted porcupine fell in love with their pin-cushion. OUCH! Karen<br />

doesn’t have the heart to point that out, but Farmer Tim keeps needling<br />

her about it. Sew, hopefully, that porcupine won’t feel spoolish or come<br />

unraveled when he finds out the truth. The newest addition to the farm<br />

is a tropical fish tank. This proves it is ‘o’fish’ally Valentine’s Day with a<br />

serious case of guppy love.<br />

My daughter, who is an artist, will probably go to a famous museum<br />

with her Valentine to celebrate this special holiday. I am sure it will be<br />

Louvre at first sight because she has an incredible amount of art-official<br />

intelligence. This visit will certainly put them in a good frame of<br />

mind, and I know she will love him with all her art. There’s a chance<br />

my daughter will decide to become an art dealer. It will certainly bring<br />

her more Monet, which would be nice. This will certainly show that<br />

romance isn’t a science, it’s a heart.<br />

For people who do not like Valentine’s Day, it is a SAD day...Single<br />

Awareness Day, or as I see it, committed bachelors and bachelorettes<br />

that are heartful dodgers! It is these people that wear their hearts on<br />

their sleeve, but oddly enough, all they own are tank-tops! They are like<br />

romance novelists, who never die, but simply run out of steam.<br />

I know many single people who use Valentine’s Day to book the “perfect”<br />

psychic to find out their future love. I am not sure how you find the<br />

perfect psychic, but if you can’t choose between an angry psychic and<br />

a sad psychic, you’ll have to find a happy medium.<br />

Well, Jimbo says I have to end spreading the love of Valentine’s Day.<br />

My final thought in these times of pop culture love is to remember that<br />

even Brad Pitt can’t make Angelina jolly!<br />

Maybe I will discuss soldiers in my next article since the date soldiers<br />

wait for is March forth! See you next month!<br />

BLAST FROM THE PAST<br />

Ron Hood, our very punny pun master and PEZ man.<br />

Some of you may recall this from our April 2005 issue<br />

where Ron was featured in the <strong>Digest</strong> about his expansive<br />

PEZ dispenser collection. He might arguably have<br />

the largest PEZ collection in the world, with over 3,000<br />

pieces in his collection.<br />

So, who knew? Jimbo didn’t. Almost 12 years later our<br />

good friend is now a monthly columnist who continually<br />

comes up with a new twist on puns. Keep up the good<br />

work, Ron!<br />

Ode to My Braces<br />

Dr. Thomas J. Bauer<br />

Androscoggin Orthodontics<br />

“Just a few more months”, so I am told,<br />

As the days pass by and the weather grows cold,<br />

Holiday cheer and kids’ smiling faces<br />

Remind me constantly that I am still stuck with my braces.<br />

Winter has arrived here in Maine,<br />

And heavy is the metal that conducts the cold to my brain,<br />

Making it difficult to hear my mom’s shrill refrain:<br />

“Wear your elastics and brush your teeth better,<br />

Yes, it is cold, but teeth don’t need to wear sweaters!”<br />

In my defense, I’m not fully to blame!<br />

Mouthguards break braces during practice and games;<br />

So what if I want to keep my lovely overbite?<br />

And I’m pretty sure I brushed just the other night!<br />

<br />

I am no poet, please don’t judge me at all;<br />

I’m just passing time in today’s study hall<br />

And dear reader, think on this:<br />

There is no word to rhyme with “orthodontist”.<br />

What news will I receive at my visit today?<br />

I hope to have braces off before next May!<br />

Or perhaps my overbite is here to stay…<br />

So I sit in the chair and allow my hopes to be raised,<br />

But I hear again that terrible phrase:<br />

“Just a few more months.”<br />
