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,

Domestic

Crustaceans

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.”

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.

There’s no better place

Pat’s Deck!

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!
