Slipped on a pumpkin today. It caught me off gourd. 

Frog 

Submitted by Steve Simard 

A frog goes to a fortune 

teller to find out 

if he will ever find his 

one true love. 

The fortune teller 

reads his palm and 

tells the frog, “I have 

good news and I have 

bad news. Which one 

would you like to hear 

first?” 

The frog says, “Let me 

hear the good news 

first.” 

The fortune teller says, 

“You are going to meet 

the most beautiful girl, 

who is going to be very 

interested in you and 

will want to know all 

about you. 

She will want you to 

open up for her and 

you will give her your 

heart.” 

“That's great!” says the 

frog. “So what’s the 

bad news?” 

“Well, you’re going to 

meet her in Biology 

class.” 

Michael Gourdan- a pumpkin that can slam-dunk. 



Halo 


When asked how he was feeling, what did the pumpkin say? "I’m vine, thanks for asking." 

Mother Theresa was 

wandering peacefully 

through Heaven one 

day when she spotted 

Princess Diana on a 

neighboring cloud and 

she was wearing an 

enormous halo upon 

her head. 

But the holy woman 

had no halo of her 

own. She tried not to 

let the sight bother her 

but she finally made 

up her mind to confront 

God for an explanation.

“Heavenly Father I 

hate to complain but 

I saw Princess Diana 

today and she is wearing 

an enormous halo. 

I know that she was 

a good and generous 

woman during her 

lifetime but I was as 

well and I have no halo 

at all.” 

“I can understand your 

agitation, my daughter,” 

said God, “but you 

need not be concerned. 

That’s not a 

halo that the princess 

wears, it’s a steering 

wheel.”

Zipper 


In a crowded city at a 

crowded bus stop a 

beautiful young woman 

was waiting for the bus. 

She was decked out in 

a tight leather mini skirt 

with matching tight leather 

boots and jacket. 

As the bus rolled up and 

it became her turn to get 

on the bus she became 

aware that her skirt was 

too tight to allow her leg 

to come up to the height 

of the bus’ first step. So 

slightly embarrassed 

and with a quick smile 

to the bus driver she 

reached behind her and 

unzipped her skirt a little 

thinking that this would 

give her enough slack to 

raise her leg. 

Again she tried to make 

the step onto the bus 

only to discover she still 

could not make the step. 

So, a little more embarrassed 

she once again 

reached behind her and 

unzipped her skirt a little 

more. And for a second 

time she attempted the 

step and once again, 

much to her chagrin she 

could not raise her leg 

because of the tight skirt. 

So with a coy little smile 

to the driver she again 

unzipped the offending 

skirt to give a little more 

slack and again was 

unable to make the step. 

About this time the big 

Texan that was behind 

her in the line picked her 

up easily from the

Assignment 


The teacher gave her 

fifth grade class an 

assignment: Get their 

parents to tell them a 

story with a moral at 

the end of it. 

The next day, the kids 

came back and, one by 

one, began to tell their 

stories. 

There were all the 

regular types of stuff: 

Spilled milk and pennies 

saved. But then 

the teacher realized, 

that only Janie was left. 

“Janie, do you have a 

story to share?” 

“Yes ma’am. My daddy 

told me a story about 

my Mommy. She was 

a Marine pilot in Desert 

Storm, and her plane 

got hit. She had to bail 

out over enemy territory, 

and all she had 

was a flask of whiskey, 

a pistol, and a survival 

knife.

She drank the whiskey 

on the way down so the 

bottle wouldn’t break, 

and then she parachuted 

right into the middle 

of 20 Iraqi troops. She 

shot 15 of them with 

the pistol, until she ran 

out of bullets, killed four 

more with the knife, 

till the blade broke, 

and then she killed the 

last Iraqi with her bare 

hands.” 

‘’Good Heaven’s, said

“Don’t mess with Mommy

Fisherman 


There was this fisherman 

Tim, always had 

a good day fishing. 

His friend, the Game 

Warden, John, couldn’t 

figure out how he did 

it. So one day, John 

decided to go fishing 

with Tim. 

Tim took John out to 

his favorite spot. Once 

there, Tim took a stick 

of dynamite out of his 

backpack, lit it and 

threw it into the water. 

The dynamite exploded 

and a dozen fish 

floated to the top. 

John, the Game 

Warden, say’s to Tim, 

“That’s illegal, you 

can’t do that.” 

Tim replies, “Really?” 

He then lights another 

stick of dynamite and 

throws it into the water. 

The dynamite exploded, 

and a dozen more 

fish floated to the top. 

John tells Tim, “Stop 

that now and take this 

boat back to shore, I’m 

going to have to give 

you a citation and confiscate 

all your gear.” 

Tim replies, “Oh, really?” 

He then lights another 

stick of dynamite, 

throws it into John’s 

lap and says, “Are you 

going to sit there and 

keep flapping your 

trap, or are you gonna 

fish?”

COOK UP A STORM. 

DURING A STORM. 

When a bad storm or utility outage 

knocks out power, a reliable KOHLER® 

generator keeps your lights on, your 

fridge cold, and your house protected. 

And it can power your entire home.* So 

turn up the heat. No matter the weather, 

we’re with you. 

From engines to generators, 

we give the world power. 

*based on generator and load size.

Red 

7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12 

Doors and cash bar open an hour before show. 

There are many Fleetwood Mac cover bands across the country and around the 

world, but Crystal Vision’s particular claim to fame is the resemblance of the three 

primary vocals to the originals. Wheeler as Stevie, Clukey as Christine, and Bracy as 

Lindsey all sound very much like their counterparts, and the blend of all the voices, 

with Mark and Wanda adding back-ups and harmonies, can be stunning! 

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door day of show. 

Show sponsor: DaVinci’s Eatery 

Murder Mystery 

Dinner 

6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9 

The audience will be engaged as witnesses 

and get to participate in fun skits and check 

out physical evidence. $70 per person includes 

a 1940s-style dinner. Not to be missed!

Job 

Submitted by 

Stephanie St. Pierre 

This is a story about four 

people named: Everybody, 

Somebody, Anybody 

and Nobody. There 

was an important job to 

be done and Everybody 

was sure that Somebody 

would do it. Anybody 

could have done it, but 

Nobody did it. Somebody 

got angry about that because 

it was Everybody’s 

job. Everybody thought 

Anybody could do it, but 

Nobody realized that Everybody 

wouldn’t do it. It 

ended up that Everybody 

blamed Somebody when 

Nobody did what Anybody 

could have done. 

Have you been left hanging before? We promise we won’t ghost you.

A woman walked into

husband walking 

around with a fly 

swatter. 

“What are you doing?” 

she asked. 

“Hunting flies,” he 

responded. 

“Oh! Killing any?” she 

asked. 

“Yep, 3 males, 2 females,” 

he replied. 

Intrigued, she asked, 

“How can you tell them 

apart?” 

He responded, “3 were 

on a beer can, 2 were 

on the phone.”

Cats 

Submitted by 


The teacher asks Little 

George a Question 

Teacher: “If I gave you 

2 cats, and another 

2 cats and another 2 

cats, how many cats 

would you have?” 

Little George: Seven! 

Teacher: No, listen 

carefully. If I gave you 

2 cats, and another 

2 cats and another 2 

cats, how many cats 

would you have? 


Teacher: Let me put it 

to you differently. 

If I gave you two apples, 

and another two 

apples and another 

two, how many would 

you have? 

Little George: Six. 

Teacher: Good. Now 

if I gave you two cats, 

and another two cats 

and another two, how 

many would you have? 


Teacher: George, 

where do you get seven 

from? 

Little George: Because 

I’ve already got a cat!
