LIFE

Howdy Folks ~~ I’m back again !! It has been a nice day

here today about 17 degrees AND tomorrow we expect

19. How good is that ? And instead of being out in it I

will be watching Carlton try to win against Hawthorn.

Hopefully, we will get other nice days to enjoy.

<><><><>A small Poem called LIFE. <><><><>

At five I believed in the fairies’ spell,

At ten I believed in heaven and –- well,

At fifteen ‘twas sport and call of adventure’

At twenty, romance was my favourite venture.

Twenty-five brought marriage, with the mate of my choice.

At thirty, with children, I near lost my voice,

Thirty-five brought dawning of wisdom and wrinkle,

What’s to come later, I haven’t an inkle.

But believe in yourself and not all you hear

And from what Granny tells me,

You’ll have nothing to fear.

Some unusual very Punny Stories.

1. Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two

dead raccoons. The flight attendant looks at them

and says, “I’m sorry gentlemen, only one carrion

allowed per passenger.”

2. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went

to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other

stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted

to much. The second one, naturally , became known as

the lesser of two weevils.

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when

they lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once again

that you can’t have your kayak and heat it too.

4. A three legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West.

He sidles up to the bar and announces: “I;m looking

for the man who shot my paw.”

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist monk who refused

Novocain during root canal. He wanted to transcend

dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and

were standing in the lobby discussing their recent

tournament victories. After an hour, the manager came

out of the office and asked them to disperse. “But why?”

they asked as they moved off. “Because,” he said, “I

can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”

7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One

of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named Amal.

The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him Juan.

Years later Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth

mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband

that she wishes she had a picture of Amal. He responds,

“They’re twins ! If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Amal.”

8. There was a woman who sent ten different puns to friends,

in the hope that at least one of the puns would make them

laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
