The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened. He then asked what the animal was worth. "Oh, about $200 today," said the rancher. "But in six years, it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what I'm out." The tourist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer. "Here, is the check for $900," he said.

"It tastes like cardboard and rubber cement!" the student cried. The lunch lady thinks a moment, then replies, "That must be the apple. The cherry pie tastes like stale crackers and soap." -<>- >At the Gas Station I was pulling into a gas station one day when I saw a woman drive off with the nozzle still in her gas tank. She jerked the nozzle right off the hose. Realizing what she had done, she pulled back in, took the nozzle out of the tank, and put it back on the pump. Then she went inside to straighten things out with the management. While she was inside, a young man pulled up to the pump. He took the nozzle, with no hose attached, putting it into his tank. He couldn't seem to figure out why he wasn't getting any gas. He even took the nozzle out and repositioned it in the tank a couple times. I thought about pointing out the obvious problem to him but then decided that he'd be embarrassed enough when he figured it out on his own. ========================================================= &&& && && &&&&. &&& .&&&&& && &&& &&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&& & &` && && .&&&&& &&&; &8 .&&&: && &` & && 8&& & `& && && .&_ oO_&.-.-. && ( __ -/--' &&~ .'-__-'& &&&~`'\`& It's NUT Day!! &&&~` _& &&&&` && &&8&&&& &&&&&&& & &&&&&&& &&;&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&& ~~~ .~~~~~ `&&&&&&&&& ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~;!&&&&&&&&&&~/~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~\~~~~&/` \`~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ `~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ BP >-->Happy NUT Day! :) Josh: Which nut can be used as money?

There are no "official" words to Taps below are the words the Boy Scouts use: Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Fading light, dims the sight, And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night. Thanks and praise, for our days, 'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky; As we go, this we know, God is nigh. Sun has set, shadows come, Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds Always true to the promise that they made. While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend. --- ...Beautiful! Thanks LouiseAu!

Here's a quick salt usage cheat sheet. Kosher salt is perfect for all your cooking as it dissolves fast and disperses flavor quickly. Crystalline sea salt adds a burst of flavor to dishes that are freshly cooked. Flaked sea salt offers a touch of briny flavor to vegetables, fish and almost any dish -<>- >Season as you cook Instead, of waiting until after your dish is cooked, add seasoning as you cook. This way, you can adjust the seasoning as your dish progresses. Your food will taste more flavorful because it's seasoned properly. As a side note, an extra pat of butter or a bit of oil can lighten strong flavors, and vinegar or lemon juice will reduce the excessive saltiness. -<>- >Remove Hard-Water Buildup with a Lemon To get rid of hard-water buildup on a faucet, try this natural solution: Cut a fresh lemon in half. With one of the halves, use your thumbs to gently open up the center. Then press the lemon onto the end of the faucet. Put a small plastic bag around the lemon and secure it around the faucet with a rubber band. Be sure that the rubber band it cinched tightly and that the lemon is around the end of the faucet. Leave the lemon in place for a few hours to allow the citric acid to work its magic. After you remove the lemon, you may need to use a gentle scrubbing pad to wash off any loosened hard-water buildup. -<>- >Clean the kitchen as you cook When you're concentrating on making each dish just right, you may not think about the mess you're creating on the counters or in the sink. Consider taking a few minutes to clean as you cook. Wipe spills and crumbs off counters, rinse pans, and put away ingredients when you're finished using them. You can then enjoy your meal and won't have to spend all night cleaning the kitchen. The next time you cook a meal, consider implementing these 10 unique and universal tricks and tips. They simplify your meal prep, help you create amazing dishes and make you look like a pro in the kitchen! -<>- >Make a No-Slip Cutting Board Most cutting boards don't come with any kind of rubber surface on the bottom to prevent them from sliding on a countertop, but with a couple of rubber bands, you can stabilize your cutting board and keep it from moving around during use. Slip on two rubber bands - one at each end of the cutting board - and you're good to go. Make sure that the rubber bands lay flat and aren't twisted when you put them on so the board will sit steady on your countertop. -<>- >Clean a Cast Iron Skillet with Coarse Salt To prevent rust and extend the life of a cast iron skillet, it's best not to use soap to clean it. Instead, use a about a tablespoon of coarse salt to scrub the pan after a meal. The salt breaks up bits of stuck food and residue on the skillet. Then you can toss the dirty salt in the trash, rinse the pan with hot water and dry it with a clean towel. To further protect a cast iron skillet, rub a few drops of vegetable oil over the entire cooking surface. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Bonnie :) __________________ || ||||||||||||||||||| / \ ____|| ||||||||||||||||||| / \ \\\\ [] ||||||||||||||||||| / \ \____/ | | / | |_____| _|__ __ __ __|_ / | | | ( | (_o)-/~\-(o_) | ) / | | | (| ( ) |) /\ | | | | | / \ | | |_______| / \ |_________ \ | | | \ _____ / \ \ | | | \ (_____) / \ \ | | | \___________/ | \ __________________/ | | | ||||||||||| | | / / ||||||||| | | | / ||||||| | | | / {o | | \_____/ {o | | | {o | | | {o | | T.

An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room. The older doctor marched down the hallway back to where the young doctor was writing on his clipboard. "What is the matter with you?" the older doctor demanded.

He blatantly told me I had been poisoning my heart for over 7 years using the amount of thyroid medicine I was taking! I about had a heart attack in his office and then he went to checking my nose to see if I was snorting cocaine since my heart rate suddenly went sky high! The nerve of these young doctors! I wasn't too surprised to learn that he just had a patient transported to the hospital with heart related problems. He was so cold and heartless! Fortunately he knew his job though and prescribed me a step-down dosage of medicine that my regular doctor didn't know about and I was able to be on a lesser dosage without ill effects.

We are talking about the country that elected Bill Clinton twice. The real question is; can a DEAD pimp become a lawmaker in the United States. In a bizarre political twist the answer just might be 'Yes'. The bizarreness started a few months ago when infamous Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof announced his candidacy for a seat in the state assembly. And much like Donald Trump's political ambition, it became much less absurd when Hof actually won the primary over a three-term Republican in a rural district in Southern Nevada. Unfortunately for Hof, he died earlier this month, apparently passing away quietly in his sleep. But that hasn't stopped his political career. Despite the slightly unorthodox fact that he is dead, Hof will remain on the ballot. Officials in the Silver State say it's too late to change the printed ballots since they've already been mailed out for early voting. And now he is expected to win by a landslide in the forthcoming Nevada state legislature elections. The so-called "Trump from Pahrump," who appeared in the HBO documentary series Cathouse, owned a strip club and five legal brothels in Nevada including the Bunny Ranch. As The Guardian reports, Hof was running for a seat in a heavily Republican district and had been favored to win... "I feel very comfortable predicting that he is still going to win the election on 6 November," his campaign manager, Chuck Muth, said in an interview, adding that Republicans had a 2-to-1 advantage over Democrats in the state assembly district in terms of voter registration. So what happens if he is elected? The vacancy, that spans constituencies in multiple counties, will be filled via a joint meeting process headed by county commissioners. Muth explained, "[A lot of Republicans] will feel much more comfortable casting the ballot for [Hof] knowing there will be another Republican to replace him." That's American politics for you. -<>- It's hard to come up with a crime that there isn't already a law against, but the kids at one California junior high school managed it. And they had to come up with a pretty sick trick, too. Davis, CA Police Lt. Paul Doroshov says he's never come across a case like this. "This is a weird one," he said. "I have not heard of anyone getting sick or anybody being harmed as far as physically, physiologically by this." What the police are investigating is a disturbing report that students at DaVinci Charter Academy made cookies mixed with human remains and gave them to unknowing classmates to eat. Several students ate the cookies that police suspect may have included the ashes of one of the student's grandparents. So far, the evidence comes from student testimony. They have not tested the cookies just yet. But once police confirm that the two students were part of the morbid plan, they will have the difficult task of figuring out what crime could be charged. "This is so unconventional, it would take more research," Lt. Doroshov said. There have been plenty of cases of students bringing pot- laced cookies to school, but cremated remain cookies is a new one. *-- Jets Explode After Mechanic Accidentally Fires Cannon In what could be a scene from a Leslie Nielsen movie, the crew servicing an F-16 fighter jet at a Belgian military air base accidentally triggering the heavy aircraft cannon, firing across the flight line and hitting two other parked jets. Multiple reports indicate that a mechanic servicing the parked aircraft accidentally fired the 20mm Vulcan cannon at close range to two other parked F-16s. The air- craft being serviced had just been refuelled and had its six barrel cannon loaded as it was being prepped for an afternoon training mission. The impact of the 20mm bullets on the other aircraft, which the crew said was just out of eyesight, caused the jet that was struck to explode instantly. Photos of the aftermath show a completely destroyed F-16 and another severely damaged. "You can't help thinking of what a disaster this could have been," base commander Col. Didier Polome told a Belgian television news station. But let's be fair, a good mechanic always tests his work. *-- Waste of a Good Pig Head --* Customs officials at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Inter- national Airport said a K-9 beagle sniffed out a roasted pig head in a traveler's luggage. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Hardy, a CBP Agriculture Detector and member of the agency's "Beagle Brigade," alerted officials to the presence of the pig head in the checked baggage of a traveler arriving from Ecuador. The nearly 2-pound pig head was destroyed by authorities. "Our best defense against destructive pests and animal diseases is to prevent the entry of prohibited agriculture products from entering the United States," said Carey Davis, CBP area port director. "This seizure at ATL illustrate the tremendous expertise of our four-legged K-9 partners in protecting the United States." Customs said pork products are banned from being transported to the United States from other continents as they could carry animal diseases including Foot and Mouth Disease, Classical Swine Fever and Swine Vesicular Disease. *-- It Takes A Lot of Balls --* Multiple cars were damaged when a truck lost its load of about 22,000 metal grinding balls, which then rolled down a steep Seattle hill. Witnesses said the truck was going up the steep incline of SW Genessee Street about 4:30 p.m. when the back of the vehicle came open and the 2-pound metal grinding balls, which are used to grind down stones, fell out of the trailer and started rolling down the hill. Police said at least six cars were damaged by the balls, but no injuries were reported. The driver of the truck, which had been destined for Salt Lake City, said he made a wrong turn and ended up on the steep road. "All over the road. I know I saw them bouncing down. Nothing I can do right now 'til the police is finished with them," truck driver Robert Herman said. Herman was cited for failing to secure his load. ^-- The Sky is Falling --* A piece of space junk that crashed down on a California walnut orchard has been identified as a fuel tank from a satellite. The Kings County Sheriff's Office said the owner of the orchard found the large metal object Saturday morning and investigators reached out to Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County. The Air Force base did some research into the object and determined it was likely a fuel tank from a communications satellite owned by mobile satellite communications company Iridium. Deputies reached out to Iridium and a company representative determined the fuel tank was from Iridium Satellite #70, which was launched into space in late 1997 or early 1998. Iridium, which took custody of the fuel tank, said it was the first piece recovered from one of the company's satellites after reentering the atmosphere. ========================================================= >-->From TheGroaner: ____ .dSSSSSb.gp. .dSSS$$$SS$$$$Sb _.dSSS$$$$SSS$$$SS$Sb .dSSS$$$$$$SSS$$$SSSSSS; dSS$$$$$S$$SSSSSS$SSS$SSS :SS$$$SSS$$SSSS$$SS$SSS$S$; :S$$$SSS$$SSSS$$SSSS$$S$S$S T$$SSSS$$SSS$$SSSS$$$S$SS$ $$SSSS$$SSS$$SSS$$$$$SSS$ $$$SSSS$$SS$$SS$P'"S$$SS$; .SS$$SP^J`^$$$$S$_ :$$SS$S dSS$$SS /dB T$$db\ ;`$$SSS :SS$$S$S; TP `;TP : dS$$SS SS$$SS$$S""" + """$$SSS$$S; SS$$S$S$$b.

"Look, a scale," the man said to his friend. "Let's see how my new diet is working out." He stepped on the scale. "I can't believe it!" he said as he read the result. "I've been on this diet for two weeks but the scale says I'm heaver than I was before! How can that be?" He pondered this as he stepped off the scale, then had a thought. He took off his jacket and handed it to his friend. "Here, hold my jacket," he said. The friend took the jacket as the man stepped back on the scale. Not much change. "Here," he said as he handed his purchase from the drugstore to his friend. "Hold my Twinkies too." -<>- The elevator in our building malfunctioned one day, leaving several of us stranded. Seeing a sign that listed two emergency phone numbers, I dialed the first and explained our situation. After what seemed to be a very long silence, the voice on the other end said, "I don't know what you expect me to do for you; I'm a psychologist." "A psychologist?" I replied. "Your phone is listed here as an emergency number. Can't you help us?" "Well," he finally responded in a measured tone. "How do you feel about being stuck in an elevator?" -<>- A woman said to her friend, "I don't know what to do. My husband is such a mess maker that you can't imagine. He doesn't put anything in its place, I am always going around the house organizing things." The friend says, "Take a tip from me. The first week after we were married I told my husband firmly, 'Every glass and plate that you take, wash when you are done and put back in its place.'" The first woman asked, "Did it help?" Her friend said, "I don't know. I haven't seen him since." -<>- "My invention can detect human stupidity. It has a very simple interface. All I do is point it at people." "Then what does it do?"

As my buddy reached for his wallet, he said to her, "You're in great shape. You must work out a lot." Flattered, she gave him a big smile and gushed, "Oh, thank you so much!" The next day a different young woman was driving the cart. "Watch this," I whispered. I walked up to her and said, "Wow, you look great. You must work out a lot." "Yeah," she replied flatly. "You should try it." -<>- I was walking past an alley last night, when I heard, "Help! Help!" coming from behind a dumpster. Two thugs were trying to steal an old lady's handbag, but she was putting up a heck of a fight and wouldn't let go. I wondered if I should get involved, or keep walking and pretend I didn't see anything. I finally decided that I should help. She was one tough old lady, but the three of us finally got that handbag. ========================================================= >-->From TheMouth: .-. .-. /___\ /___\ /.....\ /.....\ /:::::::\ .-. /:::::::\ /#########\ /___\ /#########\ ########### /.....\ ########### `"""""""""`/:::::::\ `"""""""""` /#########\ jgs ########### `"""""""""` >Steven Seagal Movies We Have Yet to See Steven Seagal in...You Can't Eat Just One Steven Seagal in...Fries Down Below Steven Seagal is...On Deadly Ground Beef Steven Seagal is...Out For Lunch Steven Seagal in...Deep Fried Justice Steven Seagal is...Above the Weight Limit Steven Seagal in...Can't Stop Sweating Steven Seagal in...Tight Pants Steven Seagal is...Having Seconds Steven Seagal in...Half Past Donuts -<>- .-----. .' - - '. / .-. .-. \ | | | | | | \ \o/ \o/ / _/ ^ \_ | \ '---' / | / /`--. .--`\ \ / /'---` `---'\ \ '.__. .__.' `| |` | \ \ '--.
