Co worker called:
“Hey, I’m on my new iphone, I sound pretty good don’t I?”
me – You can only sound so good, not even an Apple product can help you.
Later on in the conversation:
” I got a case with a holder for on your belt”
me – I have one, don’t use it, I have enough around my waist right now
“Yeah, I was hoping it would make my butt look smaller”
me – then you might want to go back and get the case for your ipad!
Announcement over the supermarket’s PA system: “Somebody’s husband is down in aisle 5.” Here’s the rest of the story:
A husband and wife are shopping in their local supermarket. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
“What do you think you’re doing?” asks the wife.
“They’re on sale, only $10 for 24 cans” he replies.
“Put them back, we can’t afford them” demands the wife. They carry on with their shopping.
A few aisles farther on, the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.“What do you think you’re doing?” asks the husband.
“It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,” replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: “So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it’s half the price.”That’s him lying face down and unconscious in on Aisle 5.

Little Johnny and his family were having Thanksgiving dinner at his Grandmother’s house.
Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.
When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
“Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer.” said his mother.
“I don’t need to,” the boy replied. “Of course, you do “his mother insisted. “We always say a prayer before
eating at our house.”
“That’s at our house.” Johnny explained. “But this is Grandma’s house and she knows how to cook. 😆Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women – she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target:
Dear Mrs. B,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people’s carts when they weren’t looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute intervals.3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women’s restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, ‘Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away’. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money. We don’t have a Code 3.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a ‘CAUTION – WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he’d invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, ‘Why can’t you people just leave me alone?’ EMTs were called.
9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ‘Mission Impossible’ theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his ‘Madonna look’ using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled ‘PICK ME! PICK ME!’
14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed ‘OH NO! IT’S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!’
15. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where is the fitting room?
And last, but not least:
16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, ‘Hey! There’s no toilet paper in here.’ One of the clerks passed out.

With the holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with you about drinking and driving after a “social session” with friends. Well, this past weekend I had a few cocktails followed by a handful of glasses of vintage red wine. Despite the jolliness, I still had the sense to know that I was over the limit. That’s when I decided to do what I have never done before…I took a cab home. Sure enough, there was a police road block on the freeway but, since it was a cab, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident.This was both a great relief and surprise because I had never driven a cab before. I don’t even know where I got it from and, now that it is in my garage, I don’t know what to do with it 8)

A Wisconsin Poem
It’s winter in Wisconsin
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.Oh, how I love Wisconsin
When the snow’s up to your butt.
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose gets frozen shut.Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I’ll hang around.
I could never leave Wisconsin
Cuz I’m frozen to the ground!Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)

At the UW, there were four sophomores taking chemistry and all of them had an ‘A’ so far. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party. They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Madison until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they would explain to their professor why they missed it. They said that they visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tire. As a result, they missed the final. The professor agreed they could make up the final the next day. The guys were excited and relieved. They studied that night for the exam. The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet. They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they thought! Each one in separate rooms, thought this was going to be easy … then they turned the page. On the second page was written…
For 95 points: Which tire? _________

Government surveyors came to Ole’s farm in the fall and asked if they
could do some surveying.
Ole agreed, and Lena even served them a nice meal at noon time.The next spring, the two surveyors stopped by and told Ole, “Because you
were so kind to us, we wanted to give you this bad news in person instead
of by letter.”Ole replied, “What’s the bad news?”
The surveyors stated, “Well, after our work here, we discovered your
farm is not in Minnesota but is actually in Wisconsin!”Ole looked at Lena and said, “That’s the best news I have heard in a
long time. I just told Lena this morning that I don’t think I can take
another winter in Minnesota.” 😀Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)
