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 />

Daniel was in no<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 />
You only live once? False: You live every day. You only die once.<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 />
give you a life span of<br />
sixty years.”<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 />
the sun to support our<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 />

In August 2016, <strong>Uncle</strong> Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong> published an article about<br />
Veterans of the Armed Forces (VOTAF). The VOTAF is a motorcycle club,<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 />
presentations for our less fortunate brothers, sisters and families.<br />
The article provided an excellent review of the VOTAF members and<br />
the cause we represent. The recognition received is beyond imaginable and<br />
the VOTAF wants to pass along our gratitude to the entire staff of <strong>Uncle</strong><br />
Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong>. Because of your efforts in publicizing our club and mission,<br />
the VOTAF was able to present several KIA (Killed in Action) flags to families<br />
in Maine. We have also heard from many individuals who mentioned and<br />
made note of our activities, all due to reading your article.<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 />
in each hand, I<br />
did the sort of routine<br />
shoeshine boys do,<br />
only I did it on my<br />
tongue.<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 />

Trevor smiled, as he<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 />
your point, Mother?”<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 />
