Top O' the Mornin'

So, who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things and drink whatever comes out?”

Consummate LSU fan, Harty Van, shares the following:

The year was 1999. The place was the College World Series, Omaha, Neb.

In a grocery store, fans from all teams are buying food. There is a sign that reads: “No out of state checks accepted.”

In the line is a LSU fan. He gives the clerk a check from a Louisiana bank to pay for the groceries. The clerk accepts the check.

In the line behind this person is a fan from another state. He asks the clerk why he accepted the Louisiana check when the sign explicitly says, “No out of state checks accepted.”

He replied, “Because we know that they will return.”

Harty adds: “No doubt but that this is absolute truth. Ask a Texas fan.”

A blonde and her husband are lying in bed listening to the next-door neighbor’s dog. It has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours.

The blonde jumps up out of bed and says, “I’ve had enough of this.” She goes downstairs.

She finally comes back up to bed and her husband says, “The dog is still barking. What have you been doing?”

The blonde says, “I put the dog in our backyard. Let’s see how THEY like it!”

A retired friend says his wife asked him, “Whatcha doin’ today?’

He replied, “Nothin’.”

She said, “You did that yesterday.”

He replied, “I wasn’t finished.”

I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you have to say in 20 minutes, you ought to go away and write a book about it.
