Fresh Walls
Nick had just
moved into a new
neighborhood. While
he was unpacking,
he noticed a woman
next door painting
her walls.
Nick waited a couple
of days and saw
through the window
that the paint job
was beautifully
done.
He went over to the
neighbor’s house
and knocked.
When the woman
answered, he said,
“Hi there! I just
moved in next door
and couldn’t help
but notice the new
color on your walls.
I am interested in
painting the walls in
my home too and
our houses seem
to be the same size
and layout. Can you
tell me how many
gallons of paint you
bought?”
“Welcome to the
neighborhood,” said
the woman.
“I bought 16 gallons
of paint for my
home. Good luck
with your project!”
Nick thanked her
and went to the
store to buy the
paint. After the
job was finished,
he returned to her
home and said,

A Game Warden is
walking along a beach
one morning when he
spots a man with a
bucket of lobsters.
The Warden walks up
to the man, flashes
his badge and says,
“You’re in big trouble,
buddy. Poaching
lobsters is a serious
offense.”
The man answers,
“You’ve got it all
wrong! These lobsters
are my pets! Every
morning I take them
out for some exercise.
I let them swim
around in the ocean
for a few minutes and
then whistle them
back in.”
The Warden looks at
the man skeptically
and says, “Okay then,
prove it.”
The man proceeds to
throw the lobsters into
the ocean and both
he and the Warden
stand there waiting.
After a couple minutes
the Warden looks
at the man and says,
“That’s long enough,
now whistle your lobsters
back in.”
The man turns to the
Warden and says,
“Lobsters? What
lobsters?”
I refuse to play cards in the jungle. There are too many cheetahs.

Garden Robbers
Fred is an old man
living on his own
when one night
he spots burglars
breaking into the
shed in his garden.
Naturally he’s left
feeling a little insecure
by this turn of events,
so he calls 911.
Well the 911 operator
advises Fred that
there are no patrol
cars available in his
area to help him right
now. Frustrated, Fred
hung up. After a few
minutes he called
again.“I called you a
few minutes ago to
report burglars in my
garden shed. Well
you can cancel my
request for help now
because I’ve just shot
them all. I won’t be
needing you after all,”
says Fred.
Within minutes there
are three patrol cars
outside Fred’s house
with sirens wailing
and blue lights
flashing. The officers
saw the burglars
running off in the
distance.
One of the police
officers marches up
the drive and says to
Fred, “I thought you
said you’d shot them
all?”
To which Fred
responds, “And I
thought you said that
there were no patrol
cars available.”
What has more letters than the alphabet? The post office.

Did You
Know?
by Upfront Home
Dust, dirt, pollen,
and outdoor debris
naturally collect on
your heat pump over
time—especially on
the coils and filters.
When this buildup
blocks airflow, your
system has to work
harder and run longer
to heat or cool your
home. That extra
strain can reduce
efficiency, raise your
energy bills, and even
shorten the lifespan of
the unit.
Professional heat
pump cleaning
removes this hidden
buildup, allowing your
system to breathe
and operate at peak
performance.
A clean system
not only uses less
energy, but also helps
maintain healthier
indoor air by reducing
the circulation of dust,
allergens, and mold
particles.
Regular maintenance
keeps your home
consistently
comfortable in
every season,
prevents unexpected
breakdowns, and
protects your
investment in your
heating and cooling
system.

Getting Old
Three old ladies were
sitting at the dinner
table discussing their
problems with
getting old.
The first one said,
“Sometimes I catch
myself with a jar of
mayonnaise in my
hand, while standing
in front of the
refrigerator, and I can’t
remember whether I
need to put it away,
or start making a
sandwich.”
The second lady says,
“Yes, sometimes I find
myself on the landing
of the stairs and can’t
remember whether I
was on my way up or
on my way down.”
The third one says,
“Well, ladies, I’m glad
I don’t have any of
those problems, knock
on wood.”
As she hit her
knuckles on the table
she looked up and
said, “That must be
the door... I’ll get it!”
Matt: Is this seat empty? Tracey: Yes, and this one will be if you sit down.

Gifts
Three sons discussed
the gifts they were
able to give to their
aged mother.
The first said, “I built
a big house for our
mom”. The second
said “I sent her a Mercedes
with a driver”.
The third said “I have
beaten you both. You
remember how mom
enjoys her favorite
book? And you know
she cant see very well
any longer?
Well- I sent her a
unique parrot that
recited any book. He
is one of a kind!”
Soon, mother writes
letters,“Milton,the
house you built is
very huge. I live only
in a room. But I have
to clean the whole
house."
"Gerald. Sadly, I am
too old to travel anymore.
I stay at home
most of the time, so I
rarely use the car.”
Then,“Dearest Danny,
you have the good
sense of knowledge
what your mother
likes. The chicken
was delicious!”
My wife yelled at me for having no sense of direction. So, I packed up my stuff and right.

Ask
Lydia
Dear Lydia,
Every June, my friends want to go hiking, camping,
kayaking, and doing all these “fun outdoor adventures.”
I’m not the outdoorsy type.
Am I missing out on summer?
– More Hammock Than Hiker in Mechanic Falls
Scan to
check out
our menu
85 Center Street, Auburn | 207-784-8221 | 11a-9p daily
Dear More Hammock Than Hiker,
Absolutely not. Listen, I’m 10 years old. I’ve been through
plenty of summers, and I’ve learned something important:
not every good summer memory has to involve sweating
up a mountain or waking up before sunrise on purpose.
Humans put a lot of pressure on June. Suddenly everyone
wants to pack every weekend with road trips, camping
adventures, lake days, bonfires, and enough activities to
make an old yellow lab need a nap just thinking about it.
Personally, I think summer can be just as successful if it
includes a lawn chair, a hot dog, and someone willing to
hand over a few potato chips when nobody’s looking.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I enjoy a nice walk, a swim, or
sniffing around a campground for dropped hamburgers as
much as the next dog. But some of my favorite summer
days involve absolutely nothing at all. Just shade, a
breeze, a full belly, and a solid afternoon nap.
So no, you’re not missing out. Summer isn’t a competition.
If you’re happy, relaxed, and maybe a little sun-kissed by
the end of the day, I’d say you’re doing June exactly right.
Tail wags and wisdom,
Lydia

Deep Dive
I wish mosquitoes sucked fat instead of blood.
One day, a diver was
enjoying the aquatic
world 20 feet below
sea level.
He noticed a guy at
the same depth, but
with no scuba gear
whatsoever.
The diver went below
another 20 feet, and
the guy joined him a
few minutes later.
The diver went below
25 feet, and minutes
later, the same guy
joined him.
This confused the
diver, so he took out a
waterproof chalkboard
set, and wrote, "How
the heck are you able
to stay under this
deep without equipment?"
The guy took the
board and chalk,
erased what the
diver had written, and
wrote, "I'm drowning,
you moron!"

Teamwork Makes
the Dream Work
“One team, one dream” is a phrase
we have all heard Jesse say numerous
times. He doesn’t just say it; he proves
it every day. Jesse consistently shows
up for his staff and his coworkers,
always going above and beyond to
make sure his customers are
happy when they leave the busy Minot
Avenue store he manages. He is the
true definition of a team player, great
leader, and is never without a friendly
smile or a playful wise crack. Thank
you, Jesse, for all you do for the store,
for Wholesale and for Rooper’s in
general. Cheers!
