Finding

Danny

Submitted by Jimbo

“Oh, No!” he gasped as

he surveyed the disaster

before him. Never in

his 40 years of life had

he seen anything like

it. How anyone could

have survived he did

not know.

He could only hope

that somewhere amidst

the overwhelming destruction

he would find

his 16-year-old son.

Only the slim hope of

finding Danny kept

him from turning and

fleeing the scene. He

took a deep breath and

proceeded.

Walking was virtually

impossible with so

many things strewn

across his path. He

moved ahead slowly.

“Danny! Danny!” he

whispered to himself.

He tripped and almost

fell several times. He

heard someone, or

something, move. At

least he thought he

did. Perhaps, he was

just hoping he did. He

shook his head and felt

his gut tighten.

He couldn’t understand

how this could have

happened. There was

some light but not

enough to see very

much. Something

cold and wet brushed

against his hand. He

jerked it away.

In desperation, he took

another step then cried

out, “Danny!”

From a nearby pile of

unidentified material,

he heard his son. “Yes,

Dad,” he said, in a

voice so weak it could

hardly be heard.

“It’s time to get up and

get ready for school,”

the man sighed, “and,

for goodness sake,

clean up this room!”

Rare Find!

Submitted by Tyla Davis

If anyone wants to come talk to me about my shoddy hinge work,

my door is always open.

While out hiking, a guy

finds a rare centipede.

The guy is amazed by

what he’s found and

naturally he wants to

show this rare creature

to his buddies. So he

captures the centipede

and places it carefully

in a ventilated box.

Once he gets it home,

the guy decides he

wants to take the

centipede to his local

hangout immediately.

He taps on the box

and says, “Would you

like to go to Mac’s Grill

with me? You’d get to

meet all my friends.”

There’s no answer

from the centipede.

The guy waits a few

moments and then

says, “What do you

think? Would you like

to go to Mac’s Grill and

meet my buddies?”

Again, there’s no

answer.

Bacon

Submitted by Jimbo

Two children ordered

their mother to stay in

bed one Mother’s Day

morning. As she lay

there looking forward

to being brought

breakfast in bed, the

smell of bacon floated

up from the kitchen.

Finally, the children

called her to come

downstairs. She found

them both sitting at the

table eating bacon and

eggs.

“As a surprise for

Mother’s Day,” one

explained, “we decided

to cook our own

breakfast.”

The Talk

Submitted by Tyla Davis

A father decided it was

time to have “the talk”

with his young son.

He beckoned his son

to come into the living

room and sit down.

“The time has come

for you and I to have a

conversation, my son,”

the father started.

“Soon, you will have

new urges and feelings

that you have not had

before and that will be

hard for you to understand.

It might leave

you feeling perplexed.”

He added, “But you do

not have to worry, it’s

perfectly normal ... it’s

called golf.”

Waiting Your

Turn

Submitted by Jimbo

The Digest’s very own

Steve Simard decided

to take advantage

of the local grocery

store’s senior hours.

He showed up to wait

in line at 7:45. The

store opened at 8:00.

Steve watched as a

young man came from

the parking lot and

tried to cut in at the

front of the line, but an

old lady beat him back

into the parking lot with

her cane.

A few minutes later,

Steve watched as

the same young man

returned and tried to

cut in again but an old

man punched him in

the gut, then kicked

him to the ground and

rolled him away.

As he approached the

line for the third time

he said, “If you don’t

let me unlock the door,

you’ll never get in

there.”

If a woman speaks and no one is listening her name is probably Mom.

Unanswered

Prayer?

Submitted by Jimbo

Dear God,

First, my car broke

down

I was very late for work

But I missed that awful

accident

Was that your handiwork?

I found a house I loved

But others got there

first

I was angry, then

relieved

When I heard the

pipes had burst!

Yesterday, I found the

perfect dress

But the color was too

pale

Today, I found the

dress in red

Would you believe, it

was on sale!

I know you’re watching

over me

And I’m feeling truly

blessed

For no matter what I

pray for

You always know

what’s best!

First Aid

Submitted by Tyla Davis

It was a stifling hot

day and a young man

crossing the street

fainted in the middle of

the busy intersection.

Traffic quickly piled up

in all directions, and a

well dressed woman

rushed to help him.

When she knelt down

to loosen his collar, a

man emerged from the

crowd, and pushed her

aside.

“It’s all right honey, I’ve

had a course in first

aid. I’ll take care of this

gentleman.”

The woman stood

up and watched as

he took the ill man’s

pulse and prepared

to administer artificial

respiration.

At this point she tapped

him on the shoulder

and said, “When you

get to the part about

calling a doctor, I’m

already here.”

Brian’s stress level

Breathing heavily,

Brian grabbed the

doctor. “Doctor, I think

it’s time. Should we

come in?”

The doctor tried to

calm the poor fellow

down. “Just try to

relax. Now tell me

how much time

elapses between the

contractions?”

Brian relayed the

question to his wife.

“My wife says they

are ten minutes apart.

Please doc, I’m panicking.

Juan comes up to the

large bags over his

stops him and says,

“What’s in the bags?”

“Sand,” answered

The guard takes the

apart, He empties

them out and finds

nothing in them but

sand. He detains Juan

overnight and has the

sand analyzed, only

to discover that there

is nothing but pure

sand in the bags. The

guard releases Juan,

puts the sand into new

bags, hefts them onto

the man’s shoulders,

and lets him cross the

border.

A week later, the same

thing happens. The

guard asks, “What

have you got?”

“Sand,” says Juan.

every day for three

years. Finally, Juan

doesn’t show up one

day and the guard

runs into him at a

Cantina in Mexico.

“Hey, Buddy,” says

the guard, “I know you

are smuggling something.

It’s driving me

crazy. It’s all I think

about... I can’t sleep.

Just between you

and me, what are you

smuggling?”

Whoever said “nothing is impossible” clearly never tried slamming a revolving door.

Butterfly Release

Celebration

Thank You!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, this year’s

Butterfly Release Celebration raised nearly $15,000 to

support patient care at the Hospice House!

Please visit our website or Facebook page if you would like to

re-watch this year’s event.

Juan sips his drink

and says, “Bicycles.”

Special thanks to this year’s event sponsors:

Of course I can keep secrets. But the people I tell them to obviously can’t.

Honeymoon

Toast

Submitted by Jimbo

One of my daughter’s

wedding presents was

a toaster oven. Soon

after the honeymoon,

she and her husband

tried it out. Almost

immediately, smoke

billowed out of the

toaster.

“Get the owner’s manual!”

my daughter’s

husband shouted.

“I can’t find it anywhere!”

cried my

daughter a short time

later.

“Oops!” came a voice

from the kitchen. “Well,

the toast is fine, but

the owner’s manual’s

burned to a crisp.”
