Moose
Hunting
Submitted by Tyla Davis
When the clock factory caught fire, second hand smoke was everywhere.
Two Irishmen flew to
Canada on a hunting
trip. They chartered
a small plane to take
them into the Rockies
for a week of moose
hunting.
The two Irishmen managed
to bag six moose.
As they were loading
the plane to return, the
pilot informed them that
the plane could only
hold four moose.
The two lads objected
strongly. “Last year, we
shot six. The pilot let
us take them all and
he had the same sort
of plane as yours.”
Just good cookin’ and plenty of it!

CLOSED MONDAY,
Tues – Sat 6 am – 2 pm,
Sunday 7 am – noon
Very reluctantly, the
pilot gave in and all six
moose were loaded into
the aircraft. The plane
took off. However, while
attempting to climb over
some mountains, even
on full power, the little
plane couldn’t possibly
handle the load and
went down.
I’m so jealous of the Irish. I’m green with envy.
Out ‘n About with Murray-Heutz Oil & Propane
for the Fuel the Love event
The two Irishmen were
so fortunate to have
survived the crash. As
they sat in the snow,
surrounded by the
hunted moose, Mick
looked over at Paddy
and asked, “Do you
have any idea where
we are?”
Paddy looked around
for a minute and then
replied, “I think we’re
pretty close to where
we crashed last year.”

Robins
Submitted by Tyla Davis
Two robins were sitting
in a tree on a sunny
spring day.
“I’m really hungry,” said
the first one. “Let’s fly
down and find some
lunch.”
They flew down to
the ground and found
a nice plot of newly
plowed ground that
was full of worms.
They ate and ate and
ate until they could eat
no more!
“I’m so full, I don’t think
I can fly back up to the
nest we found in the
tree,” said the first one.
“Let’s just lie back here
and bask in the warm
sun,” said the second.
“OK,” agreed the first.

Painted
Church
Submitted by Steve Simard
There once was a little
old church out in the
countryside that was
painted white and with
a high steeple.
One Sunday, the
pastor of that church
noticed that his building
needed painting.
He checked out the
Sunday ads and found
a sale on paint from a
local store.
The next day, he went
into town and bought
a gallon of white paint.
He went back out to
the church and began
the job. He got done
with the first side. It
was looking great.
But he noticed he had
already used a half
gallon.

He didn’t want to run
back in town, and being

that he was, he found
a gallon of thinner in
the shed out back, and
began to thin his paint.

It worked out great. He
finished the remaining
three sides with
that last half gallon of
paint. But that night,
a big rain storm rolled
through town, drenching
everything in sight.
In the morning, when
the pastor stepped outside
of the parsonage
to admire his work, he
saw that the first side
looked great,

but the paint on the
other three sides had
washed away.
The pastor looked up
in sky in anguish, and
cried out, “What shall
I do?”
A voice came back
from the heavens saying,
“Repaint, and thin
no more!”

A motorcycle cop was
rushed to the hospital
with an inflamed
appendix.
The doctors operated
and advised him that
all was well. However,
the patrolman kept
feeling something pulling
at the hairs on his
chest. Worried that it
might be a second surgery
the doctors hadn’t
told him about, he
finally got enough energy
to pull his hospital
gown down enough so
he could look at what
was making him so
uncomfortable.

Marriage
Retreat
Submitted by Tyla Davis
While away on vacation,
Jimbo and his wife,
Sue, decided to take a
few days and attend a
marriage retreat.
During one particular
portion of the retreat,
the lecturer was talking
about being in-tune with
your partner’s favorite
things.
“You sir,” the lecturer
called out to Jimbo,
“how well do you know
your wife and what she
is fond of?”
“Well, I think I know her
pretty well. We’ve been
married for 27 years.”
Milk is the fastest liquid on earth. It’s pasteurized before you even see it.
We’ve got you covered!
Think Spring!
“Then this next question
should be an easy one
for you,” the lecturer
responded.
“Give it your best shot,”
Jimbo confidently
replied.
“What is your wife’s
favorite flower?” the
lecturer asked.
“Oh that’s easy. It’s
Gold Medal All
Purpose.”

Lost Boots
Submitted by Tyla Davis
Why is Miss Universe always from Earth?
At the end of one cold
winter day, when all
the other children were
leaving, the teacher
found one little kid crying,
so she asked him
what was wrong.
He sobbed, “I can’t find
my boots.”
The teacher looked
around the classroom
and saw a pair
of boots. “Are these
yours?”
“No, they’re not mine,”
said the little boy,
shaking his head.

The teacher and the
boy searched all over
the classroom for his
boots.
Finally, the teacher
gave up, “Are you sure
those boots are not
yours?”
“I’m sure,” the boy
sobbed, “mine had
snow on them.”

police officer showing

out a wall of photos.
“Kids, this is our 10
most wanted fugitives.
These are the men
and woman who have
done some really bad
things and are now on
the run from the law.”
Ronnie raised his hand
and when he was acknowledged,
he asked,
“So all of these photos
are people you are
looking to arrest, but
you haven’t managed
to catch them yet?”
“You are right, young
man,” the officer said.
“We want very badly to
bring these folks into
custody.”
“Then why didn’t
you just arrest them
when you took their
pictures?”

Tea Party
Submitted by Tyla Davis
A skeleton walked into a restaurant and ordered a glass of milk and a mop.
Little Emily was given
a tea set for her fourth
birthday. She was so
excited to have elaborate
tea parties with her
dolls and her parents.
Shortly thereafter,
Emily’s mother had
to leave the house
for a couple of weeks
to care for her sick
grandmother. She told
Emily to be good for
her father and to keep
the tea parties going
until she returned.
Emily took her job as
a tea party hostess
very seriously in her
mother’s absence. She
made sure to bring her
father several cups
of “tea” each day. Of
course, the tea was
just a saucer of water,
but her father made a
big deal about drinking
each and every cup.
When Emily’s mother
returned home, she
asked Emily if she was
a good girl.

“Yes Mommy,” replied
Emily. “I made tea for

Her Dad made sure to
sing her praises about
her tea-making skills.
Emily happily skipped
away, proud of herself
for a job well done.
After she was out of
earshot, Emily’s mother
sighed, “Of course, you
do realize that the only
water Emily can reach
is in the toilet, right?”

Marriage
Advice
Submitted by Tyla Davis
On their 50th wedding
anniversary and during
the dinner celebrating
it, Byron was asked to
give his friends a brief
account of the benefits
of a marriage of such
long duration.
“Tell us Byron, just
what is it you have
learned from all those
wonderful years with
your wife?”
Byron responded,
“Well, I’ve learned that
marriage is the best
teacher of all. It teaches
you loyalty, forbearance,
meekness,
self-restraint, forgiveness
and a great many
other qualities you
wouldn’t have needed
if you’d stayed single.”
Generation
Gaps
Submitted by Jimbo
A mother was telling
her little girl what her
own childhood was
like.
“We used to skate outside
on a pond. I had
a swing made from
a tire; it hung from a
tree in our front yard.
We rode our pony. We
picked wild raspberries
in the woods.”

The little girl was wideeyed,
taking this all in.
At last she said, “I sure
wish I’d gotten to know
you sooner!”

Watermelon
Stand
Submitted by Steve Simard
Trevor is selling watermelons
at a small
farm stand on the side
of the road. He got all
of the ripe watermelons
set up and then
displayed his sign.
Trevor’s price list indicated
that you could
buy one watermelon
for $3, or three watermelons
for $10.
A man drove up to the
farm stand and saw
the price list. Amused,
he told Trevor, “I’d
like one watermelon,
please.”
Trevor sold the man
the watermelon and
took his $3.
Then, the man said,
“You know what, I
think I’ll buy a second
watermelon.” The man
handed Trevor three
more $1 bills.
The man loaded up
his car and then came
back and said, “Awww,
what the heck? I’ll buy
a third one.” He paid
another $3 and took
the watermelon.
“You know,” the man
said to Trevor, “you’re
not too bright. I just
bought three watermelons
and only paid $9
for them.”
“Well, you originally
were only going to buy
one and I ended up
selling you three, didn’t
I?”
