Yes folks, Youcan still buy GREAT COUNTRY MUSIC at
The Ernest Tubb Record Shops
Thought For Today: Enthusiasm can be like a
fire that needs an occasional poke with a stick.
My husband and I won a trip to Nashville. The only problem was getting someone to stay with our seven lively children. I called my mother to feel her out. "Guess what, Mom! We won a five-day trip to Nashville!" A long pause. Then Mother said, "Good. I hope you've already taken it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just after we moved into our first home, I decided to build a garden shed. I bought a prefab package from a building-supplies store and read the instructions carefully. With much rereading and rechecking of measurements, I finally completed the shed. Proud that it had turned out perfectly, I called my brother to come over to show him my handiwork. He listened silently, all the while looking at the floor as I pointed the features out. Then I followed his gaze to the floor and read the large black lettering: THIS SIDE DOWN.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My partner and I were chasing a suspect fleeing on foot when, in the heat of the moment, my colleague yelled, "Stop, or I'll shoot myself!" The chase ended right then and there...the suspect was laughing so hard he couldn't run anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bob asked to speak to the principal, Father Robert White. The priest asked him to come in and sit down. Bob took a seat and said, "I often commit the sin of pride. I imagine myself being Googled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my job as a real estate agent, I often encounter buyers who have a hard time making up their minds. After I'd shown 34 houses to a young couple, the husband was sure we'd found the perfect starter home. But his wife still wanted to look at six or seven more.
"Sally," I asked, "how many men did you date before you decided to marry Scott?"
"Only two," she sheepishly replied, and they bought a house that day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man was shorted by a penny on a settlement check. He complained and eventually received a second check for one penny. When he cashed it at the bank, the teller kidded. "How would you like it, heads or tails?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two little girls from the neighborhood came by with a wagon load of rocks and asked if I'd like to buy one. They were so excited about earning their own money that I purchased a few. As they were leaving, I heard one say, "See, I told you. People will buy anything."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a show- off...I have been called all of these," Howard Cosell once confessed. "Of course, I am."
Muhammad Ali would have agreed. "Sometimes Howard makes me wish I was a dog," he once declared, "and he was a fireplug."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the end of her first year at Temple University, my daughter, Annie, decided to stay in the city for the summer to work. She moved in with a roommate, but she hadn't been there a week when she called home. “Mom, I just wanted to apologize,” she said. “Apologize for what?” I asked. “For all those times I said to you, 'I'll do it later.'”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day my squad car was dispatched to a local bank that had just been robbed. As I interviewed a teller, it soon became obvious she had lunch on her mind.
"The suspect was dressed in black," she described, "and was wearing a banana."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day a man spotted a lamp by the roadside. He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously, and a genie appeared.
"I'll grant you your fondest wish," the genie said.
The man thought for a moment, then said, "I want a spectacular job...a job that no man has ever succeeded at or has ever attempted to do."
"Poof!" said the genie. "You're a housewife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"While hiking in the countryside, my friend Eve and I
spotted a huge bed of mushrooms that we knew to be
edible. We gathered a large basketful and sauteed
them that night. My husband efused to eat them,
thinking they might be poisonous.
Two weeks later, Eve and I gathered some more
mushrooms. This time, my husband joined us eating them.
I asked him, "How is it that you're eating these
mushrooms tonight when you wouldn't touch the ones we
brought home two weeks ago? What changed your mind?
"I thought about it and I figured it would be better
to be found dead with you two than to try to explain
two dead women in my home."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card, "Rest in Peace,". The owner was angry and so called the florist to complain.
After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should imagine this.
Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, 'Congratulations on your new location!'"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My wife still uses curlers in her hair after she washes it.
She came into the family room as I was watching TV.
I guess I stared at her funny because she said, "I just set my
hair."
The last thing I remember saying was, "Oh, really?
And what time does it go off?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At a naval barracks the enlisted men were being given their
shots prior to going overseas. One lad, having received his
series of injections, asked for a glass of water.
"What's the matter, Mate?" asked the sick bay attendant.
"Do you feel pain?"
"No, just checking to see if I'm still watertight."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our salesman at the electronics store was pitching a high- definition
television. A fellow shopper, overhearing the spiel, mentioned that
he'd upgraded his regular TV to high-def.
"How did you do that?" my husband asked.
"I dusted the screen."

When I phoned my employee to find out why she hadn't come to the
office, I expected to hear a sob story about how sick she was, blah, blah,
blah. Instead, her excuse was pretty plausible. "When I was driving to
work, I took a wrong turn," she explained. "And then I just decided to
keep going."

****A Parting Thought ****
We never talked, my family. We communicated by putting articles
on the refrigerator.
Last Call Y'ALL
A Priest, a Baptist Preacher, and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experience.
Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. "Well," he said, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip. In his best fire- and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."
The priest and the reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape.
The Rabbi looked up and said, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

For Today:</STRONG></EM></FONT><STRONG> </STRONG><FONT
color=#000000>Enthusiasm can be like a <BR>fire that needs an occasional poke
with a stick.</FONT><BR><BR><FONT color=#000000>My husband and I won a trip to
Nashville. The only problem was getting someone to stay with our seven lively
children. I called my mother to feel her out. "Guess what, Mom! We won a
five-day trip to Nashville!" A long pause. Then Mother said, "Good. I hope
you've already taken it." <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Just after we moved into our
first home, I decided to build a garden shed. I bought a prefab package from a
building-supplies store and read the instructions carefully. With much rereading
and rechecking of measurements, I finally completed the shed. Proud that it had
turned out perfectly, I called my brother to come over to show him my handiwork.
He listened silently, all the while looking at the floor as I pointed the
features out. Then I followed his gaze to the floor and read the large black
lettering: THIS SIDE DOWN.<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>My partner and I were chasing
a suspect fleeing on foot when, in the heat of the moment, my colleague yelled,
"Stop, or I'll shoot myself!" The chase ended right then and there...the suspect
was laughing so hard he couldn't run anymore.<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Bob asked
to speak to the principal, Father Robert White. The priest asked him to come in
and sit down. Bob took a seat and said, "I often commit the sin of pride. I
imagine myself being Googled. <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>In my job as a real
estate agent, I often encounter buyers who have a hard time making up their
minds. After I'd shown 34 houses to a young couple, the husband was sure we'd
found the perfect starter home. But his wife still wanted to look at six or
seven more.<BR><BR>"Sally," I asked, "how many men did you date before you
decided to marry Scott?"<BR><BR>"Only two," she sheepishly replied, and they
bought a house that day.<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>A man was shorted by a penny on
a settlement check. He complained and eventually received a second check for one
penny. When he cashed it at the bank, the teller kidded. "How would you like it,
heads or tails?" <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Two little girls from the
neighborhood came by with a wagon load of rocks and asked if I'd like to buy
one. They were so excited about earning their own money that I purchased a few.
As they were leaving, I heard one say, "See, I told you. People will buy
anything." <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>"Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel,
verbose, a show- off...I have been called all of these," Howard Cosell once
confessed. "Of course, I am."<BR><BR>Muhammad Ali would have agreed. "Sometimes
Howard makes me wish I was a dog," he once declared, "and he was a
fireplug."<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>At the end of her first year at Temple
University, my daughter, Annie, decided to stay in the city for the summer to
work. She moved in with a roommate, but she hadn't been there a week when she
called home. “Mom, I just wanted to apologize,” she said. “Apologize for what?”
I asked. “For all those times I said to you, 'I'll do it later.'”
<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>One day my squad car was dispatched to a local bank that
had just been robbed. As I interviewed a teller, it soon became obvious she had
lunch on her mind.<BR><BR>"The suspect was dressed in black," she described,
"and was wearing a banana."<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>One day a man spotted a
lamp by the roadside. He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously, and a genie
appeared.<BR><BR>"I'll grant you your fondest wish," the genie said.<BR><BR>The
man thought for a moment, then said, "I want a spectacular job...a job that no
man has ever succeeded at or has ever attempted to do."<BR><BR>"Poof!" said the
genie. "You're a housewife.<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px 0px">"While hiking in the countryside, my friend Eve and
I<BR>spotted a huge bed of mushrooms that we knew to be<BR>edible. We gathered a
large basketful and sauteed<BR>them that night. My husband efused to eat
them,<BR>thinking they might be poisonous.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px 0px">Two weeks later, Eve and I gathered some
more<BR>mushrooms. This time, my husband joined us eating them.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px 0px">I asked him, "How is it that you're eating
these<BR>mushrooms tonight when you wouldn't touch the ones we<BR>brought home
two weeks ago? What changed your mind?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px 0px">"I thought about it and I figured it would be
better<BR>to be found dead with you two than to try to explain<BR>two dead women
in my home."<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>A new business was opening and one of the
owner's friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived
at the new business site and the owner read the card, "Rest in Peace,". The
owner was angry and so called the florist to complain.</P>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was,
the florist said, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than
getting angry you should imagine this. <BR>Somewhere there is a funeral taking
place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, 'Congratulations on your
new location!'"<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>My wife still uses curlers in her hair
after she washes it.<BR>She came into the family room as I was watching TV.
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I guess I stared at her funny because she said, "I just
set my<BR>hair." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The last thing I remember saying was, "Oh, really?<BR>And
what time does it go off?"<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR> At a naval barracks the
enlisted men were being given their <BR>shots prior to going overseas. One lad,
having received his <BR>series of injections, asked for a glass of
water.<BR>"What's the matter, Mate?" asked the sick bay attendant. <BR>"Do you
feel pain?"<BR>"No, just checking to see if I'm still watertight."
<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Our salesman at the electronics store was pitching a high-
definition <BR>television. A fellow shopper, overhearing the spiel, mentioned
that<BR>he'd upgraded his regular TV to high-def.<BR>"How did you do that?" my
husband asked.<BR>"I dusted the
screen."</FONT></FONT><BR></DIV></DIV></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT

and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan
University in Marquette. They would get together two or three times a week for
coffee and to talk shop.<BR><BR>One day, someone made the comment that preaching
to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a
bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would
all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert
it.<BR><BR>Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their
experience.<BR><BR>Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches,
and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. "Well," he said, "I
went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to
him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began
to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy
Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next
week to give him first communion and confirmation."<BR><BR>Reverend Billy Bob
spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had
an IV drip. In his best fire- and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, "WELL,
brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And
then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted
nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We
wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So
I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he
became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising
Jesus."<BR><BR>The priest and the reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who
was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and
monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape.<BR><BR>The Rabbi
looked up and said, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best
way to start."</FONT> <BR></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT
