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.

Thinking the centipede

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
was at unsurpassed
levels. His wife Maggie
was in labor and Brian
was sure it was time to
head to the hospital.
Breathing heavily,
Brian grabbed the
phone and called 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.
What should we
do?”
“And is this her first
child?” questioned the
doctor.
“No you idiot! This is

Juan comes up to the
Mexican border on his
bicycle. He has two
large bags over his
shoulders. The guard
stops him and says,
“What’s in the bags?”
“Sand,” answered
Juan.
The guard says, “We’ll
just see about that.
Get off the bike.”

The guard takes the
bags and rips them
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.

The guard does his
thorough examination
and discovers that the
bags contain nothing
but sand. He gives the
sand back to Juan,
and Juan crosses the

Just between you

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

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.”
