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

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

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!”

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.”

out a wall of photos.

“Kids, this is our 10

These are the men

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.

I’m not addicted to brake fluid. I can stop anytime I want to.

“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.”

Kim Pelkey

Modern Woodmen of America

Richard Pfeffer

Gritty’s

Sean Doucette

USA Mortgage

The little girl was wideeyed,

taking this all in.

At last she said, “I sure

wish I’d gotten to know

you sooner!”

Egyptians claimed to have invented the guitar, but they are such lyres.

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?”
