The Amazing Story
by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson
Our regular waitress
at a Tuesday morning Bible
study breakfast is a professional
clown on the side.
“I’m getting ready for
Easter,” she said.
Yes, she had a bunny
suit and bunny ears for various
parties where she would
be asked to clown. And candy
Easter eggs. Lots of Easter
eggs.
If you ask children
what Easter is about, they’d
probably say something
about the Easter bunny. It’s
a pervasive story. Not very
persuasive or compelling, but
cute and seemingly harmless
enough.
But, the story of the
Easter bunny tends to displace
a much more compelling
Story. A true Story. An
Amazing Story that I’d like
to tell you right now in a few
words.
The Amazing Story
concerns a man, a carpenter
who lived 2,000 years ago in
an obscure Roman province
in a town called Nazareth. At
age 30, the Man hung up his
leather carpenter’s apron and
began to speak publically up
and down the countryside.
Religious leaders were
ambivalent at best. Most felt
deeply threatened, because
this ex-carpenter taught in
huge outdoor meetings with
compelling authority -- and
he healed people. Not just
colds and fevers, but crippled
limbs and blind eyes. On two
occasions, he even brought
people back from the dead.
The religious leaders
saw their orderly world spinning
out of their control. And
so they determined to eliminate
the Man.
They infiltrated his inner
circle so they could grab
him away from public view.
And once in custody, they
engineered a trial behind
closed doors, and then put
huge political pressure on the
Roman governor to execute
him immediately.
Within 12 hours of his
arrest, the Man hung on a
cross. Six hours later he was
dead -- seemingly a martyr
to a glorious but hopeless
cause.
But there’s more. The
Man did not resist his arrest
and crucifixion -- in fact, he
had predicted it to his followers
again and again. And he
taught that his death would
have incredible meaning --
that he would give his life as
a ransom for many. That is,
his death would pay the ransom
price for a multitude of
people who were enslaved by
their own sins -- and set them
free. That’s what he said.
And on that cross he
prayed for his crucifiers --
certainly enslaved in their
sins -- “Father, forgive them,
for they don’t know what
they’re doing.” And he died.
A Roman centurion
who saw him die said, “Surely,
this man was the Son of
God.”
He died on a Friday at
just about three in the afternoon.
By dusk he had been
buried by a rich follower in
a tomb hollowed out of solid
rock, a tomb protected by a
huge stone that rolled into
place along a channel in the
rock, then clunk! The tomb
was secure. Friday night and
all day Saturday his cold
body lay there.
But, Sunday morning,
the Sunday we call Easter,
some women had come to
complete the hasty burial and
they found the stone rolled
back and the tomb empty.
An angel appeared to
them saying, “He is not here,
he has risen.” This, too, the
Man, Jesus, had foretold to
his followers.
Over the next 40 days,
he appeared to his disciples
and others, to even 500 at one
time. And then he left planet
earth promising to return.
His Spirit was poured
out on his followers a few
days later.
Within a single generation
his followers travelled
with the Amazing Story to
all of the known world. Our
world has never been the
same. Because where people
believe the Story, they find
forgiveness and freedom and
meaning. They receive the
Spirit of God themselves and
they began to love.
The Story we tell is a
life-transforming Story. If
we would tell it to our children
and grandchildren, they
would find that it is much
more compelling than any
Easter bunny tale. The only
appeal it lacks to your children
-- and to our desperately
needy world -- is a few pastel
candy Easter eggs. Tell the
Amazing Story. It changes
lives.

when a small group of
friends began meeting
in their homes to spend a
few hours a week learning
to do oil painting.
Their meetings was the
highlight of the week
and fits with adding the
finishing touches to the
highlight of a painting.

with him. His purpose now is to help produce good compost for our

From Our Readers...
Government Land Management
As many know, the
federal government’s management
of forest land
in our region is being reviewed
through the formal
process of plan revision.
Our County Commissioners
have been attentively
overseeing this process.
The public has been invited
to comment on the
Colville National Forest
Plan Revision through
July 5, 2016. Go to: http://
www.fs.usda.gov/colville
to read the draft, read others’
comments, and submit
a comment yourself. This
is an opportunity for all
concerned citizens.
The following letter
was initially submitted as
prescribed by the website
on 3/15/16. (It has yet to
be posted on the FS site,
though others written after
mine are posted.)
Dear Representative of the
The simple online tool to
help you stay connected
Forest Service:
My concern, as is the
concern of many in Stevens
County, is that our
U.S. Constitution and the
Constitution of the State
of WA does not lawfully
allow federal control and
regulation of land within
the borders of Washington
except in agreement with
Article I, Section 8, Clause
17 of the U.S. Constitution.
National forests are
not part of that constitutionally
defined area.
According to the law
of the land, the federal government
is not to have any
control over land except
for our national capital,
forts/arsenals, ports, and
necessary buildings; and
that jurisdiction is granted
only by permission from
the hosting state.
We are no longer a
territory (Article 4) wherein
our federal government
holds land in trust for the
state. Washington entered
the union a long time ago,
and on equal footing with
the original states wherein
all the land within our borders
was to become part of
our sovereign state.
We, as a state, are
also very capable of preserving
the lands, natural
resources, and antiquities
within our borders, and are
inherently, I would suggest,
motivated to do so.
Therefore, we appeal
to our federal government,
the Forest Service
in particular, to comply
with our national and state
constitutions and acknowledge
they have no lawful
authority to regulate land
within the state of Washington.
That authority is
given to the state and the
people therein.
Any Forest Plan
ought rightfully to be generated
from the state over
the land within its borders.
There is much that
needs to be restored in
this country. Restoring
the integrity of our Constitutional
laws would be a
laudable starting point.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Kelly Tacoma

New Voluntary Stewardship Program Aims to Create Solutions
for Environmental Protection, Agricultural Viability
In 2011, Stevens
County elected to participate
in the Voluntary
Stewardship Program
(VSP), becoming one of
28 counties in Washington
to “opt-in”. The VSP
represents an alternative
way for counties to
protect Critical Areas on
lands where agriculture is
practiced.

(GMA) requires the protection
of Critical Areas,
but employs a traditional,
regulatory approach that
could constrain agricultural
viability in the future.
Critical Areas include
wetlands, Fish and
Wildlife protected habitats,
frequently flooded
areas, areas of geological
instability, and aquifer recharge
areas. The primary
objective of the VSP is
twofold: to protect Critical
Areas, and to promote
the economic success of
the agricultural sector.
The balance between environmental
protection
and agricultural viability
can be a contentious issue,
and the VSP aims to
address this by advancing
voluntary, locally-driven
solutions rather than more
regulatory oversight. This
will serve as an alternative
to Critical Area regulations
under the GMA,
such as exclusionary buffer
zones.
In the coming
months, a VSP Workgroup
comprised of interested
farmers, ranchers,
environmentalists, and
tribal representatives will
be created. The Workgroup
will be tasked with
developing the VSP Work
Plan, which will outline
stewardship practices regarding
agricultural activities
within Critical
Areas in Stevens County.
The efforts of the Workgroup
will be supported
by the VSP Program
Staff, which includes representatives
from WSU
Extension, Stevens County
Conservation District,
and Stevens County Land
Services.
All interested community
members are invited
to attend an introductory
meeting about the
Voluntary Stewardship
Program hosted by the
Stevens County Commissioners
and the VSP Program
Staff. The meeting
will be held in Colville
on Tuesday, March 29th,
from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, at
the Community College
of Spokane – Colville
Center’s Rendezvous Theater,
985 S. Elm, Colville,
WA.
The meeting will
cover the history and
background of the VSP, its
implications for Stevens
County, key definitions
and procedures, and information
on the planned
VSP Workgroup. This
program has important
implications for the future
regulatory environment
surrounding Critical Areas
and agriculture in Stevens
County, and strong
public input and participation
is needed!

program you can contact

Odessa Office Equipment (OOE):
Locally Provided Internet Service
by Bonnie Stichart
Before their first child was born, Marlon and Melissa Schafer had a dream.
That dream was to raise their children in a rural environment, rather than a big
city. To that end they moved to Odessa. There, in 1995, they found a niche
selling office equipment.
Before long, the Internet became reality. Except in Odessa. It was too
small for the large communication companies to bother with. So Marlon started
providing Internet service in 1997. Within a year he was able to provide
DSL – Digital Subscriber Line – to Odessa Hospital, his first customer. Another
year and wireless service was available.
Marlon knew that people and businesses in small towns would find the
Internet as useful as did people in cities. He turned out to be right.
Because he was right, Odessa Office Equipment no longer sells office
equipment; they sell Internet service. The key word here is “service,” especially
customer service.
We may be in the digital age, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t important.
OOE values its customers; after all, many of them are neighbors and
friends. One reason the customer comes first is because Marlon and Melissa
are the only “investors” in the business. There are no outside investors whose
dividends come before the needs of the customer.
There is no government involvement, either. Utilities are often subsidized
by the government, but Odessa Office Equipment is not, nor has it ever been.
Marlon is justifiably proud of building Odessa Office Equipment himself.
Marlon refuses to hold customers hostage to speed. All OOE Internet
speeds are fast. The customer pays only for the data bits he uses. “The old
model of price control via speed is not working well any more,” Marlon explained.
Odessa Office Equipment owns its own network; the equipment is similar
to cell phone towers. They don’t use satellites, so your information is not
beamed through space. The local network is even better than satellite.
Odessa is in the name, but OOE provides Internet service for a much
larger area. Odessa Office Equipment Internet is available in Lincoln county,
as well as parts of Grant, Adams, Douglas, and Spokane counties. Being local
is a plus in many ways; customers are people, not faceless “consumers,” - when
you meet your Internet service customers while shopping at the local grocery
and attending local events, it is easy to be personal. Much of the money that
comes into OOE is returned to the community.
Marlon wants to stay focused on Internet service, so Odessa Office Equipment
doesn’t sell computers. But Marlon and his employees are more than
happy to advise their customers and help them choose the equipment that will
best serve their needs. OOE will also service and repair computers – both onsite
and remotely.
Besides Marlon and Melissa – who are a team in both their personal and
business lives – Odessa Office Equipment has three employees, both full-time
and part-time. They are all happy to aid a customer’s search for the Internet
service that will be of the most use.
When it comes to community, it’s hard to know where Marlon-the-individual
ends and Odessa Office Equipment starts. Having raised three children
in Odessa, the Schafers are naturally involved in local school and youth activities.
They are also involved in the Lions Club and the Chamber of Commerce;
one of Marlon’s pet projects is the annual Deutschesfest that takes place the last
weekend of September.
Marlon was a founding board member of WISPA – Wireless Internet Service
Providers Association – a national association of independent Internet
providers that helps them deal with government regulations and provide better
service for their customers.
To make contacting them easy, the staff at Odessa Office Equipment can
be reached by phone at 509-982-2181, by e-mail at office@odessaoffice.com, or
you can take a look at what they offer at the website – www.odessaoffice.com.
The website has interesting information on both the history and the future of
Internet service. Customers are always welcome to come into the office, which
is located at 107 S. 1st Street in Odessa. The office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00
p.m. For anyone who is off-the-grid – and doesn’t want to be – the mailing address
is P.O. Box 489, Odessa, WA 99159.
“We like to talk with people,” Marlon said. He also likes that his customers
talk with people. “Satisfied customers are our best sales people,” he added
with a smile.
The Internet is here to stay, and people like Marlon and Melissa Schafer
and Odessa Office Equipment want to keep it affordable and easy to use. Give
him a call, send him an e-mail, or visit him at the office. Local and independent
businesses – such as Odessa Office Equipment – are the type of enterprise
the Huckleberry Press is proud to support.
IT’S HERE!
Marlon of Odessa Office Equipment at 45 feet in the air, performing a site visit to determine how best to continue
bringing high speed Internet service to rural North East Washington customers. Attaining satisfying Internet
speeds in the country can present a challenge. Marlon and his team make the process of getting a very needed
service in our region much easier. Call Odessa Office Equipment at 509-982-2181 for more information.

Senate and House Members Announce Bipartisan, Bicameral Legislation to Enhance ABLE Accounts
Legislation builds on 2014’s successful ABLE Act which helps the disabled and their families save for their futures
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers
(WA-05) joined Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Bob
Casey (D-PA) and Representatives Ander Crenshaw (R-FL),
Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Pete Sessions (R-TX) to
introduce a package of bills aimed at enhancing the ABLE
Act. The ABLE to Work Act builds on the success of the
ABLE Act by making it possible for disabled people who
work to save a portion of their income in an ABLE account
without risking loss of benefits. These bills will also allow
rollovers to and from 529 college savings plans as well as
raise the age for eligibility from 26 to 46.
In 2014, the bipartisan group of lawmakers led the effort
to pass the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE)
Act, which lets families who have a child with a disability
save for their long-term care through 529-style savings accounts.
The ABLE Act was a significant step forward and
has been heralded as one of the most important pieces of
disability legislation since the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
“As the mother of a young son with Down Syndrome,
I know the challenges families face preparing for their loved
one’s future,” said Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers.
“With this initiative, we are building on the success of the
Americans with Disabilities Act and the ABLE Act to enable
those with disabilities to seek meaningful and competitive
employment opportunities without the fear of losing
their benefits. Let’s help them achieve their dreams of being
independent and contributing to society.”
“The ability to support yourself through work is an
essential element of the American dream,” said Senator
Burr. “The ABLE to Work Act gives disabled Americans
and their families better options to plan for the future. Many
individuals with disabilities are able to work, but our current
one-size-fits all system punishes those who do by making
them ineligible for benefits. Work is about more than financial
support; it’s about participating in society and building a
sense of purpose. It is wrong to exclude the most vulnerable
members of our community from the benefits of work. I am
also proud to join with my colleagues to introduce legislation
to improve the ABLE Act by allowing rollovers from
529 college savings plans as well as allowing individuals
who become disabled after turning 26 to open and save in
an ABLE account.”
“This legislation will strengthen the ABLE Act and
I’m pleased that we were able to assemble a bipartisan
coalition to introduce these measures,” Senator Casey said.
“The belief that undergirds the ABLE Act is that those with
disabilities have a lot of ability. These measures will help
families who have a child with a disability to put that child
on a more secure financial footing.”
Congressman Ander Crenshaw, Chairman of the
House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services
and General Government, said “When the ABLE Act
became law-of-the-land on December 19, 2014, a brighter
future opened to millions of Americans living with disabilities.
Today, people with disabilities can use tax-free
ABLE accounts to plan for future expenses without risking
the loss of critical federal benefits. Now is the time to build
on that historic achievement with additional, common-sense
tax code revisions that promote self-sufficiency for an even
greater number of individuals with disabilities. That’s independence
worth fighting for: No one who is willing to work,
save, and responsibly plan for their future should be held
back by the U.S. tax code. Period.”
“Passage of the ABLE Act over one year ago is leveling
the playing field for people with disabilities by ensuring
equal access to tax-free savings accounts. These resources
help individuals with disabilities reach their full potential
by providing a better way to save and plan for their future,”
said Congressman Van Hollen. “After working hard to get
the ABLE Act to President Obama’s desk, I’m proud to once
again join Senators Casey and Burr and Representatives
Crenshaw, McMorris Rodgers, and Sessions in an effort
to expand access to ABLE accounts and give beneficiaries
more flexibility– without the fear of losing needed Social
Security and Medicaid benefits.”
“The ABLE Act broke through the glass ceiling for
thousands of individuals with disabilities by giving them the
ability to plan and save for their futures,” said Congressman
Sessions. “While the ABLE Act was a critical first step, today’s
package will bolster our efforts and strengthen the law
to ensure individuals with disabilities, like my son, Alex,
have the opportunities they need and deserve to achieve a
bigger, brighter future.”
Since the passage of the ABLE Act in 2014, 34 states
have enacted ABLE programs and legislation is pending in
several more states.
The ABLE to Work Act expands on the goals of the
ABLE Act by encouraging work and self-sufficiency. The
legislation allows individuals and their families to save more
money in an ABLE account if the beneficiary works and
earns income. Specifically, an ABLE beneficiary who earns
income from a job could save up to the Federal Poverty
Level, which is currently at $11,770. The bill will also allow
ABLE beneficiaries to qualify for the existing Saver’s Credit
when they put savings in.
The ABLE Financial Planning Act would allow families
to rollover savings in a 529 college savings plan into
an ABLE account. Many families save for a child’s college
education by opening a 529 account, sometimes before their
child is even born, only to learn later that their child has a
severe disability like autism. In other cases, a child is in
a tragic accident and becomes severely disabled. In such
instances, these families have funds trapped in a 529 that
they could use to help cover their child’s lifelong expenses.
If they withdraw the funds for anything other than college
expenses, they face taxes on their withdrawals. The ABLE
Financial Planning Act would help these families by allowing
them to rollover the funds in their 529 account into an
ABLE account for their disabled child.
The ABLE Age Adjustment Act will raise the age
limit for ABLE accounts to age 46. Currently, individuals
with a severe disability prior to the age of 26 are eligible
to open an ABLE account. Many debilitating diseases and
conditions can strike later in life, including multiple sclerosis,
Lou Gehrig’s disease, or paralysis due to an accident.
Increasing the age limit for ABLE accounts will allow more
individuals to save in these accounts to help cover the costs
of short, medium and long-term care.

It’s Time for Washington
to Embrace Industrial Hemp
By Rep. Matt Shea
From the beginning of
our nation’s history until
the 1950s, industrial
hemp was grown in the
United States. George
Washington and Thomas
Jefferson grew hemp.
Benjamin Franklin
owned one of America’s
first paper mills, which
processed hemp. The
Declaration of Independence
was signed on hemp paper. Hemp was used
as canvas for ship sails and even for covered wagons.
At one time, Washington state was one of the
largest producers and exporters of industrial hemp
in the world.
In the early 1950s, however, the legal status of
industrial hemp changed when it was classified a
dangerous drug, in the same category as marijuana.
The fact is these plants are not the same. Industrial
hemp typically contains less than 0.3 percent
of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), compared to 25
percent of the THC drug in recreational and medical
marijuana. However, the two plants have long
been confused as one, shutting down an industry
for more than 60 years in the United States and allowing
other countries, including neighbor Canada,
to develop a lucrative hemp industry to meet international
fiber demands.
In recent years, there’s been a new debate in
state legislatures emerging over the economic and
environmental benefits of industrial hemp and the
possibility of a comeback of this industry. More and
more states have realized they are missing out on a
huge economic opportunity, and they have begun to
reclassify hemp separate from marijuana for legal
growth of the hemp plant.
For the past three years, I’ve sponsored legislation
seeking the legalization of growing industrial
hemp in Washington state, the latest through House
Bill 1552. It is estimated that some 25,000 products
can be made from industrialized hemp. Think of the
thousands of jobs that could be created in Washington,
not only in agriculture, but also in industries
like manufacturing and pulp and paper. This means
jobs in rural southwest and northeast Washington,
which have seen the logging industry decimated in
recent decades.
Industrial hemp can be used as a raw material
for construction projects, including hempcrete,
a mold- and fire-resistant building material with an
insulation rating three times that of normal building
materials. Hemp can also be used for textiles,
clothing and carpeting. Hemp plastic is said to be
nearly as strong as steel and could even be used for
composite parts in cars and airplanes, which could
further boost our state’s aerospace industry. In each
case, industrial hemp is generally cheaper and more
durable than existing alternatives.
Hemp also has numerous environmental benefits,
helping to reduce reliance on petroleum-based
products, creating less long-term build-up of carbon,
and being more naturally-resistant to pests,
which means less use of agricultural pesticides.
A growing market exists for Omega-3 rich
hemp seed and oil products, including snack foods,
body care and supplements, many of which are already
available in stores throughout Washington.
The problem is that raw hemp is imported from
countries like Canada for the manufacture of these
products.
Unfortunately, laws in the U.S. have deprived
our farmers and the public from the economic and
environmental benefits stemming from these new
markets. That’s why I have been working hard to
change that in Washington state.
During the 2016 regular session, the Legislature
passed Senate Bill 6206, which would have
created a limited opening of growing industrial
hemp in Washington. The proposal was to direct
the Washington State Department of Agriculture to
establish an industrial hemp research, licensing and
seed certification program, and then select growers
whose demonstration plots will advance the
research program. The measure would have also
directed Washington State University to study the
feasibility of industrial hemp production in our state
and report its findings to the Legislature in 2017.
Unfortunately, this measure was one of 27 vetoed
at the end of the regular session by Gov. Jay Inslee
because the Legislature had not yet passed a supplemental
operating budget.
While I was disappointed the bill would have
delayed actual hemp growth by nearly two years, I
felt it was at least a foot in the door for Washington
state. By contrast, my bill would have legalized and
ensured the growth of industrial hemp in Washington
state this summer, giving us a wider ability to
take advantage of existing markets while they are
still competitive. Other states, such as Colorado
and Kentucky, are already far ahead of Washington
in this regard.
We nearly cracked open the door, only to be
delayed by a veto that has nothing to do with the
merit of the bill. While this veto is a road bump, it
is not a road block. Washington has an incredible
opportunity before us -- to create a better economy
through a new industry filled with thousands of new
jobs. Many of my legislative colleagues and I are
determined to take action as soon we can so our
state can re-establish itself once again as a major
hemp producer. It’s time for Washington to embrace
this new economic opportunity and reap the benefits
of growing industrial hemp.

1. Cultivation
a. Per pound, hemp requires only 4% of the water cotton requires to grow.
b. Hemp is frost-resistant; germinated seeds can withstand temperatures of -5 degrees Celsius, or 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
c. Cannabis sativa is also relatively resistant to weeds, and so long as hemp is thickly seeded (as is always done when hemp is grown for fiber),
the rapidly developing young plants normally shade out competing weeds.
d. It takes years for trees to grow until they can be harvested for paper or wood, but hemp is ready for harvesting only 120 days after it is planted.
2. Processing
a. Per pound, hemp requires only 21% of the water cotton requires to process to fiber.
b. Per pound, hemp requires half the energy cotton requires to process to fiber.
c. Per pound, USA cotton production emits more carbon dioxide than UK-grown hemp production for fiber.
3. Commodity Market
a. Total world hemp fiber production in 2003 was approximately 77,450 tons (representing only 0.15 per cent of world fiber production) with five main producers:
China (45 per cent), Spain (19 per cent), Peoples’ Republic of Korea (16 per cent), Russia (8 per cent) and Chile (5 per cent) (FAO, 2004).
b. Based on world production of fibers in 1999, about 54.5% was synthetic (of which 60.3% was polyester), 42.9% was plant fiber (of which 78.5% was cotton), and
2.6% was wool (Karus 2000).
c. In addition to cotton, flax is the only other significant plant fiber crop grown in temperate regions of the world (kenaf has received some enthusiastic backing in the
southern US in recent years, but is most cheaply produced in India, Bangladesh, and China). Flax held 2.7% of the world plant fiber market in 1999, while hemp
had only 0.3% (Karus 2000).
d. The cultivation of hemp in the EU is heavily weighted toward fiber production over oilseed production. In 1999, the EU produced about 27,000 t of hemp fiber,
but only about 6,200 t of hemp seeds, mostly in France, and 90% of this was used as animal feed (Karus et al. 2000).
e. Both the complete protein and the oils contained in hempseeds (rich in lanolin and linolenic acids) are in ideal ratios for human and animal nutrition.

FRESH CHUCKLEBERRIES!
Warning! Not to be taken internally, literally, or seriously!
“You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing.” -- Anonymous
“Laughter
is the shortest distance
between two people.”

One-Liners!

If I had a dollar for every
girl that found me unattractive,
they’d eventually
find me attractive.
I find it ironic that the
colors red, white, and
blue stand for freedom,
until they’re flashing behind
you.
Today a man knocked
on my door and asked
for a small donation towards
the local swimming
pool, so I gave him
a glass of water.
I changed my password
to “incorrect” so whenever
I forget it the computer
will say, “Your
password is incorrect.”
Artificial intelligence is
no match for natural stupidity.
I’m great at multi-tasking--I
can waste time, be
unproductive, and procrastinate
all at once.
If you can smile when
things go wrong, you
have someone in mind to
blame.

Never tell your problems
to anyone, because 20
percent don’t care and
the other 80 percent are
glad you have them.
Doesn’t expecting the
unexpected mean that
the unexpected is actually
expected?
Take my advice — I’m
not using it.
My wife and I were happy
for twenty years; then
we met.
I hate it when people use
big words just to make
themselves sound perspicacious.
Hospitality is the art of
making guests feel like
they’re at home when
you wish they were.
Television may insult
your intelligence, but
nothing rubs it in like a
computer.
I bought a vacuum cleaner
six months ago and so
far all it’s been doing is
gathering dust.
Every time someone
comes up with a foolproof
solution, along
comes a more-talented
fool.
I’ll bet you $4,567 you
can’t guess how much I
owe my bookie.
Behind every great man
is a woman rolling her
eyes.
If you keep your feet
firmly on the ground,
you’ll have trouble putting
on your pants.
A computer once beat
me at chess, but it was
no match for me at kick
boxing.
Ever stop to think and
forget to start again?
When I married Mr.
Right, I had no idea his
first name was Always.
My wife got 8 out 10 on
her driver’s test--the other
two guys managed to
jump out of her way.
There may be no excuse
for laziness, but I’m still
looking.
Women spend more time
wondering what men are
thinking than men spend
thinking.
Give me ambiguity or
give me something else.
He who laughs last
thinks slowest.
Is it wrong that only
one company makes the
game Monopoly?
Women sometimes
make fools of men, but
most guys are the do-ityourself
type.
I was going to give him
a nasty look, but he already
had one.
Change is inevitable, ex-
cept from a vending machine.
The grass may be greener
on the other side but
at least you don’t have
mow it.
I like long walks, especially
when they’re taken
by people who annoy
me.
I was going to wear my
camouflage shirt today,
but I couldn’t find it.
If at first you don’t succeed,
skydiving is not
for you.
Sometimes I wake up
grumpy; other times I let
her sleep.
If tomatoes are technically
a fruit, is ketchup a
smoothie?
Money is the root of all
wealth.
No matter how much
you push the envelope,
it’ll still be stationery.
A local fisherman
is returning from a fishing
trip with 6 large size
salmon in his creel. Nosy
Parker comes along and
asks if the man been
fishing. “Yes!” replied
the stalwart.
Asked what bait he
had been using our hero
replied that he had used
chewing tobacco. Parker
asked how one used
chewing tobacco as bait,
and the fisherman replied,
“I put the tobacco
on the hook in the normal
way, cast in the normal
way and when the
fish strikes I haul back
on the line to hook it.

When the fish comes up
to spit, I hit it on the head
with the butt of my rod!
A young schoolboy
was having a hard time
pronouncing the letter
“R” and all the other kids
were, of course, teasing
him about it.
To help him out,
the teacher gave him
a sentence to practice
at home: “Robert gave
Richard a rap in the ribs
for roasting the rabbit so
rare.” In class a few days
later, the teacher asked
the boy to recite the sentence
out loud.
The boy nervously
eyed his classmates -
many of them already
laughing at him - then
replied, “Bob gave Dick
a poke in the side because
the bunny wasn’t
cooked enough.”
I was complaining
the other day to a friend
about the knot in my tie.
“These four-in-hands
with their tiny knots are
so un-stylish,” I complained.
He asked, “Do
you know how to do a
Windsor knot?” I replied,
“It doesn’t matter
if you Windsor knot, it’s
how you play the game!
During my brother’s
wedding, my mother
managed to keep
from crying---until she
glanced at my grandparents.
My grandmother
had reached over to my
grandfather’s wheelchair
and gently touched his
hand. That was all it
took to start my mother’s
tears flowing.
After the wedding,
Mom went over to my
grandmother and told
her how that tender
gesture triggered her
outburst.
“Well, I’m sorry
to ruin your moment,”
Grandmother replied,
“but I was just checking
his pulse.”
