Mother’s Day<br />

Breakfast<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

Libby and Maggie<br />

ordered their mother to<br />

stay in bed one Mother’s<br />

Day morning. As she lay<br />

there looking forward<br />

to breakfast in bed, the<br />

smell of bacon floated<br />

up from the kitchen.<br />

After a good long wait<br />

she finally went downstairs<br />

to investigate. She<br />

found them both sitting<br />

at the table eating bacon<br />

and eggs.<br />

“As a surprise for Mother’s<br />

Day,” Libby explained,<br />

“we decided to<br />

cook our own breakfast.”<br />

Jokes<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

Craig was asked by his<br />

cousin Danny to come<br />

with him to his hunting<br />

lodge with his hunting<br />

buddies. As it was<br />

raining the first day,<br />

and no one felt like<br />

spending a whole day<br />

out in the rain getting<br />

wet, they decided to<br />

stay inside.<br />

After a while Craig<br />

got bored and asked<br />

Danny if they could do<br />

anything.<br />

Danny said, “Well, we<br />

could tell each other<br />

jokes. I’ll start.”<br />

Danny thought for a<br />

moment and then said<br />

“27,” and all his buddies<br />

started to laugh.<br />

Confused, Craig<br />

asked, “Why is everyone<br />

laughing? You just<br />

said a number.”<br />

Danny explained that<br />

since they had heard<br />

all these stories a hundred<br />

times, they had<br />

given them numbers<br />

to make them easier<br />

to tell.<br />

Craig thought this was<br />

a bit weird.<br />

The “storytelling” went<br />

on for a while until<br />

finally one of guys said<br />

a number and the rest<br />

started laughing even<br />

more than before.<br />

Craig looked up and<br />

asked, “Why is this<br />

one was so funny?”<br />

Danny replied, “Oh, we<br />

haven’t heard that one<br />

before.”<br />

Lance is an uncommon name nowadays.<br />

But in medieval times people were named Lance a lot.<br />

Doctor’s Visit<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

A man walked into a<br />

Doctor’s office. “What<br />

do you have?” the<br />

receptionist asked.<br />

“Shingles,” he replied.<br />

She told him to sit<br />

down. Soon a nurse<br />

called him and asked,<br />

“What do you have?”<br />

“Shingles,” he replied.<br />

She took his blood<br />

pressure, weight, and<br />

complete medical<br />

history. Then she took<br />

him to a room and told<br />

him to remove all of<br />

his clothes. After a few<br />

minutes the Doctor<br />

came in and asked,<br />

“What do you have?”<br />

“Shingles,” the man told<br />

him.<br />

The Doctor looked him<br />

up and down and said,<br />

“Where?”<br />

“Out on the truck,<br />

where do you want me<br />

to unload them?”<br />

Wedding<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

A little boy, at a wedding<br />

looks at his mom<br />

and says, “Mommy,<br />

why does the bride<br />

wear white?”<br />

His mom replies, “The<br />

bride is in white because<br />

she’s happy and<br />

this is the happiest day<br />

of her life.”<br />

The boy, thinks about<br />

this, and then says,<br />

“Well, then why is the<br />

groom wearing black?”<br />

I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.<br />

Trip<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

Phil went on a business<br />

trip and went out<br />

for breakfast when<br />

the waitress came to<br />

his booth she asked,<br />

“What can I get you?”<br />

If ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more people happy?<br />

Phil paused and said<br />

“I’ll tell you what, I’d<br />

like the special, but I<br />

want my toast burned<br />

to a crisp, my bacon<br />

rubbery, my coffee<br />

weak, and when you<br />

bring me the food—I<br />

want you to yell at me.”<br />

Puzzled, the waitress<br />

said “Is that what you<br />

really want, are you<br />

crazy?!”<br />

“No,” said Phil, “I’m<br />

homesick.”<br />

A young businessman<br />

had just started his own<br />

firm. He’d rented a beautiful<br />

office and had it<br />

furnished with antiques.<br />

Sitting there, he saw a<br />

man come into the outer<br />

office. Wishing to appear<br />

busy, the businessman<br />

picked up the phone and<br />

started to pretend he<br />

had a big deal working.<br />

He threw huge figures<br />

around and made giant<br />

commitments.<br />

Finally, he hung up and<br />

asked the visitor, “Can I<br />

help you?”<br />

The man said, “Sure.<br />

I’ve come to install the<br />

phone.”<br />

The Difference<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

In light of the rising<br />

frequency of human/<br />

grizzly bear conflicts,<br />

the Montana<br />

Department of Fish<br />

and Game is advising<br />

hikers, hunters, and<br />

fishermen to take extra<br />

precautions and keep<br />

alert for bears while in<br />

the field.<br />

“We advise that outdoors<br />

men wear noisy<br />

little bells on their<br />

clothing so as not to<br />

startle bears that aren’t<br />

expecting them. We<br />

also advise outdoors<br />

men to carry pepper<br />

spray with them in<br />

case of an encounter<br />

with a bear. It is also<br />

a good idea to watch<br />

out for fresh signs of<br />

bear activity. Outdoors<br />

men should recognize<br />

the difference between<br />

black bear and grizzly<br />

bear poop. Black bear<br />

poop is smaller and<br />

contains lots of berries<br />

and squirrel fur. Grizzly<br />

bear poop has little<br />

bells in it and smells<br />

like pepper.”<br />

Ice Cream<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

A little old man shuffled<br />

slowly into an ice<br />

cream parlor and pulled<br />

himself slowly, painfully,<br />

up onto a stool. After<br />

catching his breath, he<br />

ordered a banana split.<br />

The waitress asked<br />

kindly, “Crushed nuts?”<br />

“No,” he replied,<br />

“Arthritis.”<br />

The human brain is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born, and<br />

never stops until you stand up to speak in public.<br />

The next day Johnny<br />

shows up two hours<br />

late.<br />

Johnny says, “I was<br />

awake two hours early<br />

today so I had time to<br />

fish in the pond on my<br />

way to school. I caught<br />

a seventeen pound<br />

trout and had to take it<br />

home. If I didn’t clean it<br />

and freeze it, my mum<br />

would’ve been angry.<br />

That’s why I’m so late.”<br />

The teacher promptly<br />

takes him to the<br />

headmaster’s office<br />

and explains the story<br />

to him.<br />

The headmaster tells<br />

Little Johnny about his<br />

own trip to school that<br />

day.<br />

“I was walking to<br />

school through the<br />

park on the trail today<br />

when I heard something<br />

behind me.<br />

was shocked to see<br />

a giant grizzly bear<br />

behind me. He was<br />

twenty-four feet tall<br />

and had six-inch fangs.<br />

He was going to eat<br />

me, Johnny! Just then<br />

a little dog ran out from<br />

the bushes, jumped up<br />

and attacked the bear.<br />

The little dog killed the<br />

bear and then ate the<br />

whole bear right there<br />

in front of me. What<br />

do you think of that,<br />

Johnny?”<br />

Little Johnny replies,<br />

“Oh yeah, that’s my<br />

dog Sparky. That’s his<br />

third bear this week.”<br />

Etiquette<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

After a very busy<br />

day, Jennifer settled<br />

down in her seat and<br />

closed her eyes as the<br />

train departed. As the<br />

train rolled out of the<br />

station, the guy sitting<br />

next to her pulled out<br />

his cell phone and<br />

started talking in a loud<br />

voice.<br />

“Hi sweetheart, I’m on<br />

the train; yes, I know<br />

it’s 6:30 and not 4:30<br />

but I had a long meeting.<br />

No, honey, not<br />

with the floozie from<br />

the accountants office,<br />

it was with the boss.<br />

No sweetheart, you’re<br />

the only one in my<br />

life—yes, I’m sure....”<br />

Fifteen minutes later,<br />

he was still talking<br />

loudly, when the young<br />

woman sitting next to<br />

him, who was obviously<br />

annoyed by his<br />

continuous diatribe,<br />

and stated quite loudly,<br />

“Hey, baby, get off your<br />

phone and come back<br />

to bed!”<br />

What If?<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

When the family was<br />

moving cross-country<br />

the Mom and Dad<br />

each needed to drive<br />

one of their two cars.<br />

Their eight-year old<br />

son worriedly asked,<br />

“What if we get<br />

separated?”<br />

“We’ll drive slowly so<br />

that one car can follow<br />

the other,” the Dad<br />

reassured him.<br />

“Yes, but what if we<br />

DO get separated?”<br />

the son persisted.<br />

“Well, then I guess<br />

we’ll never see each<br />

other again,” the Dad<br />

Scavenger<br />

Hunt<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

A woman answered her<br />

front door and saw a<br />

little boy holding a list.<br />

“Ma’am,” he explained,<br />

“I’m on a scavenger<br />

hunt, and I still need<br />

three grains of wheat,<br />

a pork-chop bone and<br />

a piece of used carbon<br />

paper so I can earn a<br />

dollar.”<br />

“Wow,” the woman<br />

replied. “Who sent you<br />

on such a challenging<br />

hunt?”<br />

“My babysitters<br />

boyfriend.”<br />

Will<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

Jeremy and his wife<br />

Alison were sitting in<br />

the living room discussing<br />

a “Living Will.”<br />

“Just so you know,”<br />

said Jeremy, “I never<br />

want to live in a vegetative<br />

state, dependent<br />

on some machine and<br />

fluids from a bottle.<br />

If that ever happens,<br />

I’m okay with you just<br />

pulling the plug.”<br />

Alison got up, unplugged<br />

the TV and<br />

threw out all the beer.<br />

A group of Americans<br />

were traveling by tour<br />

bus through Switzerland.<br />

As they stopped<br />

at a cheese farm, a<br />

young guide led them<br />

through the process<br />

of cheese making,<br />

explaining that goat’s<br />

milk was used.<br />

She showed the group<br />

a lovely hillside where<br />

many goats were<br />

grazing.<br />

“These,” she explained,<br />

“are the<br />

older goats put out to<br />

pasture when they no<br />

longer produce.”<br />

She then asked, “What<br />

do you do in America<br />

with your old goats?”<br />

A spry old gentleman<br />

answered, “They send<br />

us on bus tours!”<br />

I wrote a song about a tortilla. Well actually, it’s more of a wrap.


Refusing to go to the gym counts as resistance training, right?<br />

JOE GENDRON<br />

Roopers Redemption for 19 Years<br />

roopersbeverage.com<br />

This month Roopers would like to express<br />

our sincere gratitude to Joe Genderon for<br />

his 19 years of dedicated service to our<br />

company. His hard work, commitment, and<br />

contributions have been invaluable and<br />

have helped our company grow and thrive<br />

over the years.<br />

From the early days of his employment<br />

starting way back with Steve on Sabattus<br />

St to the present day at Main St Lewiston<br />

with Andy Frenette, Joe has consistently<br />

demonstrated a high level of strong work<br />

ethic that has earned him the respect and<br />

admiration of his colleagues and superiors.<br />

During his time at Roopers he has seen the<br />

Redemption program grow from a small<br />

redemption center in Lewiston to one of<br />

President Jesse St. Laurent writes: “When<br />

I think of Joe Gendron, loyalty comes first<br />

to mind. Joe’s tenure and longevity with<br />

Roopers goes unmatched. His loyalty to his<br />

work and Roopers cannot be blueprinted.<br />

His quick wit and wise remarks always keep<br />

us alert and smiling. We wouldn’t be where<br />

we are at without loyal people like Joe. I am<br />

proud and honored to have the opportunity<br />

to work beside him for the past 13 years.<br />

Congrats Joe well deserved.”<br />

As Joe celebrates this milestone of 19<br />

years with our company, we want him to<br />

know that his contributions have not gone<br />

unnoticed. We appreciate his hard work<br />

and dedication, and although we know he<br />

is most looking forward to retirement, we<br />

look forward to continuing to work with him<br />

for many more years to come.<br />

LOVE YOUR VEHICLE ALL OVER AGAIN!<br />

Review on January 5th <strong>2023</strong>: “I was able to make a same day appointment and Black Diamond<br />

Detailing got me right in. They were able to do a deep clean inside and out of my vehicle in 1 hour. They<br />

were professional and polite. My car smells and feels like I just drove it off the lot. Their prices are incredibly<br />

reasonable for auto detailing. Worth every penny, I will be back. Thank you Black Diamond!”<br />
