Faster Dad<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Three boys are in the<br />

schoolyard bragging of<br />

how great their fathers<br />

are.<br />

The first one says:<br />

“Well, my father runs<br />

the fastest. He can<br />

fire an arrow, and start<br />

to run, I tell you, he<br />

gets there before the<br />

arrow.”<br />

The second one says:<br />

“Ha! You think that’s<br />

fast! My father is a<br />

hunter. He can shoot<br />

his gun and be there<br />

before the bullet.”<br />

The third one listens<br />

to the other two and<br />

shakes his head. He<br />

then says: “You two<br />

know nothing about<br />

fast. My father is in<br />

sales. He stops working<br />

at 4:30 and he is<br />

home by 3:45!”<br />

Blind Date<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

Once there was a<br />

girl who wanted a<br />

boyfriend. Her mom<br />

wanted to help her, so<br />

she set up a blind date<br />

for her daughter.<br />

When the girl got back<br />

from the date she said<br />

“That was the worst<br />

night of my life!”<br />

“Why is that?” her<br />

mom asked.<br />

“He owns a 1922 Rolls<br />

Royce!”<br />

“Isn’t that a good<br />

thing?”<br />

“He’s the original owner<br />

mom!”<br />

Out of This<br />

World<br />

Submitted by Mark Vaillancourt<br />

Steve, Jimbo and Tim<br />

were trying out for a<br />

new NASA experiment<br />

on sending civilians to<br />

different planets.<br />

First, they called Steve<br />

in and asked him a few<br />

questions.<br />

“If you could go to any<br />

planet, which planet<br />

would you want to<br />

go to and why?” the<br />

interviewer asked him<br />

as the interview drew<br />

to a close.<br />

After pondering the<br />

question, Steve answered,<br />

“I would like to<br />

go to Mars, because<br />

it seems so interesting<br />

with all the recent<br />

news about possible<br />

extraterrestrial life on<br />

the planet.”<br />

“Very good, thank<br />

you,” the man said,<br />

and told him that they<br />

would get back to him.<br />

Next, Jimbo entered<br />

the room and the interviewer<br />

asked him the<br />

same question.<br />

In reply, Jimbo said,<br />

“I would like to go to<br />

Saturn to see all of its<br />

rings.”<br />

He thanked Jimbo and<br />

told him they would get<br />

back to him.<br />

“I’m looking forward to seeing pie this Thanksgiving more than members of my<br />

own family.” – Damien Fahey<br />

Genie<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

“I used to be a heavy gambler. But now I just make mental bets. That’s how I lost<br />

my mind.” – Steve Allen<br />

Once Lori was walking<br />

along the beach thinking<br />

of the worst state<br />

of her life cycle. Her<br />

husband, Steve, asked<br />

her for divorce. As<br />

she was walking, she<br />

tripped over something<br />

in the sand. The woman<br />

picked the object up<br />

revealing a lamp.<br />

Lori rubbed the lamp<br />

and a genie appeared<br />

before her. “I will grant<br />

you three wishes,”<br />

the genie said “but<br />

whatever you wish for<br />

your husband will get<br />

double.”<br />

Lori thought and<br />

thought, then made her<br />

first wish, “I wish for 10<br />

million dollars.” POOF!<br />

The wish for ten million<br />

appears at the woman<br />

feet, some distance<br />

away 20 million dollars<br />

appears at Steve’s feet.<br />

Lori thinks again and<br />

makes her second<br />

wish, “I wish for a pile<br />

of diamonds three feet<br />

high!” POOF! A pile of<br />

diamonds appear at her<br />

feet, a pile of diamonds<br />

six feet high appears at<br />

her husband’s feet.<br />

Now, Lori thinks and<br />

thinks, ponders and<br />

ponders; finally she<br />

says to the genie “Now,<br />

whatever I wish for, my<br />

husband gets double?”<br />

The genie replies, “That<br />

is correct.”<br />

She makes her third<br />

wish, “I wish for you to<br />

scare me half to death.<br />

Thanksgiving<br />

Submitted by Tom Hill<br />

“Here I am 5 o’clock in the morning stuffing bread crumbs up a dead bird’s butt.”<br />

– Roseanne Barr<br />

‘Twas the night of<br />

Thanksgiving,<br />

but I just couldn’t sleep,<br />

I tried counting<br />

backwards,<br />

I tried counting sheep.<br />

The leftovers beckoned...the<br />

dark meat<br />

and white,<br />

but I fought the temptation<br />

with all of my<br />

might.<br />

Tossing and turning<br />

with anticipation,<br />

the thought of a snack<br />

became infatuation.<br />

So, I raced to the kitchen,<br />

flung open the door<br />

and gazed at the fridge,<br />

full of goodies galore.<br />

I felt myself swelling so<br />

Out ‘n About with the City of Auburn<br />

Facebook page (facebook.com/<br />

I’ve heard it said that parties are all fun and games until<br />

someone calls the police. Then it is a new game; hide and<br />

seek. It made me wonder about all the different parties<br />

and how we celebrate. Whenever construction workers<br />

party, they always raise the roof. Did you ever notice how<br />

people always shuffle into a card party? If you invite an<br />

insomniac to your pajama party, you know they will be up<br />

for it. It is interesting that artillery men do not go to parties<br />

at all, they go to cannon-balls. Bottom line, we all know<br />

the feeling of partying Saturday and Sunday and feeling<br />

weakened.<br />

With Halloween having just passed a few days ago, I<br />

have heard some great stories about all the costumes<br />

people wore. This single guy dressed up as a skeleton,<br />

but was upset that he had no body to dance with. There<br />

was a man and woman who dressed up as barcodes and<br />

we later learned they were an item. Then there was the<br />

guy who dressed up as a knife and boy, did he look sharp.<br />

The funniest story of all was when a policeman accidentally<br />

arrested a judge who had dressed as a convict for a<br />

costume party. That cop learned never to book a judge by<br />

his cover.<br />

Farmer Tim and his lovely wife, Karen, of Mollyockett<br />

Farm love to party on the farm. “This year’s Halloween<br />

bash was wild and full of games,” Farmer Tim said.<br />

“Yeah, wild and full of game,” Karen added laughing,<br />

“because I stir-fried your game because you liked to wok<br />

on the wild side!” “We had one cow that dressed up as a<br />

knight,” Farmer Tim joked, “So we referred to him as ‘Sir<br />

Loin.’” Karen shared that another cow dressed up in pajamas,<br />

faked sleep, and then jumped up, uddering loudly,<br />

“I am a Bull-Dozer!” A few pigs dressed up as chefs and<br />

squealed that they were good at bacon, while another<br />

dressed up as a dinosaur and was Jurassic Pork. One of<br />

the chickens dressed up as a teacher and eggsplained<br />

that she was a Eggonomics Professor. It’s one yolk after<br />

the other with Farmer Tim and Karen!<br />

Gravestone Corrected and Rededicated<br />

Company F of the 19th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Cpl.<br />

Moses C. Hanscom from Danville (Auburn), captured the colors<br />

of the 26th North Carolina regiment of the Union lines during the<br />

Battle of Bristoe Station in Virginia on October 14, 1863 during<br />

the Civil War.<br />

His dedication and efforts earned him the Medal of Honor and<br />

was presented to him by Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1864.<br />

Hanscom’s Gravestone located at Oak Hill Cemetery in Auburn,<br />

read he was a Medal of Honor recipient but his name was misspelled<br />

as Hansom.<br />

The City of Auburn, rededicated a new Gravestone with the correct<br />

spelling on the 154th Anniversary of his Heroic act. Dozens<br />

of people attended the Ceremony with Hanscom’s descendants.<br />

Descendants: Sharon Gray of<br />

Turner, her Cousin Jean Millett<br />

of Norway & Carol May of CA<br />

American Legion Post 153: Carol St.Pierre,<br />

Dan St.Pierre, Claire Poirier, Hugh Brown<br />

Jr., Steve Peterson, Donald Peck, David<br />

Jacobs-Pratt, Paul L’Heureux, & Jason Hall<br />

(Gray Post)<br />

Well, I guess I need to shut down<br />

all this party talk. Besides, I am<br />

on my way to the grand opening<br />

of the local bee farm. They are<br />

having a house swarming party,<br />

and I am hoping to get some free<br />

bees, so I gotta buzz off now.<br />

See you next month!<br />

Once a woman invited<br />

some people to dinner.<br />

At the table, she turned<br />

to their six-year-old<br />

daughter and said,<br />

“Would you like to say<br />

the blessing?”<br />

“I wouldn’t know what<br />

to say,” the girl replied.<br />

“Just say what you<br />

First Time<br />

Turkey<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

It was the first time<br />

Pam was eating<br />

Thanksgiving dinner<br />

without her family.<br />

Trying to re-enact the<br />

tradition, she prepared<br />

a dinner for herself<br />

alone. The next day,<br />

her mother called to<br />

see how everything<br />

went.<br />

“Oh, mother, I made<br />

myself a lovely dinner,<br />

but I had so much<br />

trouble trying to eat<br />

the turkey!” said the<br />

daughter.<br />

“Did it not taste good?”<br />

her mother asked.<br />

“I don’t know,” Pam<br />

said. “It wouldn’t sit<br />

still!”<br />

Black<br />

<strong>November</strong><br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Some days, the best thing about my job is that the chair spins.<br />

When I was a young<br />

turkey, new to the<br />

coop, my big brother<br />

Mike took me out on<br />

the stoop.<br />

He sat me down, and<br />

spoke real slow, as<br />

he told me there was<br />

something that I had to<br />

know;<br />

His look and his tone I<br />

will always remember,<br />

when he told me of<br />

the horrors of Black<br />

<strong>November</strong>;<br />

“Come about August,<br />

now listen to me, each<br />

day you’ll be thick,<br />

where once you were<br />

thin, and you’ll grow a<br />

big rubbery thing under<br />

your chin.<br />

S<br />

And then one morning,<br />

when you’re warm in<br />

your bed, in’ll burst the<br />

farmer’s wife, and hack<br />

off your head;<br />

Then she’ll pluck out<br />

all your feathers so<br />

you’re bald’n pink,<br />

and scoop out all your<br />

insides and leave ya<br />

lyin’ in the sink,<br />

And then comes the<br />

worst part” he said not<br />

bluffing, “She’ll spread<br />

your cheeks and pack<br />

your rear with stuffing.”<br />

Well, the rest of his<br />

words were too grim<br />

to repeat, I sat on the<br />

stoop like a winged<br />

piece of meat.<br />

I decided on the spot<br />

laughing, under<br />

my breath, As they<br />

chomped and they<br />

chewed, ever closer to<br />

Pumpkin Pie<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Jolene was only eight<br />

years old and lived<br />

way out in the country<br />

with her parents who<br />

rarely entertained<br />

any visitors. One day<br />

Jolene’s mother said<br />

that her father was<br />

bringing two guests<br />

home for Thanksgiving<br />

supper.<br />

After they had enjoyed<br />

the turkey, Jolene went<br />

to the kitchen to help<br />

her mother. She proudly<br />

brought out the first<br />

piece of pumpkin pie<br />

and gave it to her father,<br />

who then passed<br />

the plate to a guest.<br />

When Jolene came<br />

out with the second<br />

piece and gave it to<br />

her father, he again<br />

gave it to a guest. This<br />

was too much for the<br />

little girl. “It’s no use,<br />

Daddy,” she cried.<br />

“The pieces are all the<br />

same size.”<br />

In the US, about 280 million turkeys are sold for the Thanksgiving celebrations.<br />

Most folks believe that<br />

Ben Franklin discovered<br />

electricity with<br />

his famous kite<br />

experiment.<br />

Actually, a women<br />

made that discovery<br />

possible. The real<br />

story was that Ben<br />

Franklin was laying in<br />

bed with his wife one<br />

night, leaned over and<br />

whispered something<br />

in her ear.<br />

She told him to go fly a<br />

kite. The rest is history.<br />

Presidential Pardon of a Turkey<br />

The official “pardoning” of White House turkeys is an interesting White House<br />

tradition that has captured the imagination of the public in recent<br />

years. It is often stated that President Lincoln’s 1863 clemency to<br />

a turkey recorded in an 1865 dispatch by White House reporter<br />

Noah Brooks was the origin for the pardoning ceremony.<br />

Last Rites<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

A Catholic man is<br />

struck by a bus in a<br />

busy street. He was<br />

lying near death on the<br />

sidewalk as a crowd<br />

gathered.<br />

“A priest…... Somebody<br />

please get me<br />

a priest!” the man<br />

gasped. Long seconds<br />

dragged on but no<br />

one stepped out of the<br />

crowd.<br />

A policeman checked<br />

the crowd and finally<br />

yelled, “A PRIEST,<br />

PLEASE! Isn’t<br />

there a priest in this<br />

crowd to give this man<br />

his last rites?” Finally<br />

out of the crowd<br />

stepped a little old man<br />

in his mid 80’s.<br />

“Mr. Policeman,” said<br />

the man, “I’m not a<br />

priest, I’m not even a<br />

Christian. But for 50<br />

years now, I’ve lived<br />

behind the Catholic<br />

Church on Dunn Avenue,<br />

and every night<br />

I hear their services.<br />

I can recall a lot of it,<br />

and maybe I can be of<br />

some comfort to this<br />

poor man.”<br />

The policeman agreed,<br />

and cleared the crowd<br />

so the man could get<br />

through to where the<br />

injured man lay. The<br />

old man knelt down,<br />

leaned over the man<br />

and said in a solemn<br />

voice:<br />

Applicants<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Murphy applied for an<br />

engineering position at<br />

a firm based in Ohio.<br />

John applied for the<br />

same job and both<br />

applicants having the<br />

same qualifications<br />

were asked to take a<br />

test by the Department<br />

manager.<br />

Upon completion of<br />

the test both men only<br />

missed one of the<br />

questions.<br />

The manager went<br />

to Murphy and said,<br />

“Thank you for your<br />

interest, but we’ve<br />

decided to give John<br />

the job”<br />

Murphy: “Why would<br />

you be doing that? We<br />

both got 9 questions<br />

correct.”<br />

Manager: “We have<br />

made our decision<br />

not on the correct<br />

answers, but on the<br />

question you both<br />

missed.”<br />

Murphy: “And just how<br />

would one incorrect<br />

answer be better than<br />

the other?”<br />

Manager: “Simple,<br />

John put down on<br />

question # 5, “I don’t<br />

know”. You put down<br />

“Neither do I”.<br />

himself in the women’s<br />

locker room.<br />

When he was spotted,<br />

the room burst into<br />

shrieks, with ladies<br />

grabbing towels and<br />

running for cover.<br />

The little boy watched<br />

in amazement and<br />

then asked, “What’s<br />

the matter, haven’t you<br />

ever seen a little boy<br />

before?”<br />

Helium was up, feathers<br />

were down. Paper<br />

was stationary. Ticonderoga<br />

Pencils lost<br />

a few points. Though<br />

Elevators rose, escalators<br />

continued their<br />

slow decline.<br />

He who laughs last, thinks slowest.<br />

Fall Loan<br />

Promotions<br />

Weights were up in<br />

heavy trading. Light<br />

switches were off.<br />

Mining equipment<br />

hit rock bottom. The<br />

market for raisins dried<br />

up. Pampers remained<br />

unchanged.<br />

Caterpillar stock<br />

inched up a bit. Sun<br />

peaked at midday.<br />

consisted of evaluating<br />

each nominated company’s<br />

This part of the process<br />

was worth approximately<br />

25% of the total evaluation.<br />

The second part consisted<br />

of an employee survey to<br />

measure the employee<br />

experience. This part of the<br />

process was worth approximately<br />

75% of the total<br />

evaluation. The combined<br />

scores determined the top<br />

companies and the final<br />

rankings. Best Companies<br />

registration and survey process<br />

you’ll win enough<br />

to get your life back on<br />

“I don’t gamble either,<br />

sir. But I would still<br />

very much like a bite<br />

to eat.”<br />

“You want to eat?,”<br />

asked the wealthy<br />

man. “Alright, come<br />

home with me and<br />

have dinner with my<br />

family.”<br />

“That’s very kind of<br />

you, sir. Thank you!”<br />
