Happy Halloween!



Do you know why ghosts don't have babies?

They have hallow weinies.

==============================================


A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night, when behind him he hears:

BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him..

BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him.

FASTER...
FASTER...

BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP.....



He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him.. However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping.

clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP....


clappity-BUMP...


on his heels, as the terrified man runs.



Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.



With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.


Bumping and clapping toward him.



The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup! Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...


and,


The coffin stops.

Birthday thoughts.





Yup, I had a birthday yesterday. HOW OLD? Dave & I were both born in 1953. I guess due to birthday reflections I woke up emotional. All I will say about the morning is what I have written on our Workamper resume.
"Dave & I take pride in our work camper assignments. As work campers we are committed to taking great care of the park grounds and of the park residents. It is our goal to make the RV Park profitable to the Park owner and a pleasant home for the park residents to enjoy." It a good quote, don't ya think? Anyway, that's who Dave & I are.
The day was rescued by the great friends I have here. We made Halloween spiders. We had a few drinks and we played cards. It was a good day after all!
Thanks for the calls and cards!
Oh by the way, the hanging spiders name is "Curlie." If you clap your hands, sneeze or pound the table because of a good joke being read he will fall down the string and crawl back up. His eyes blick red too! What a guy!

Sunday Joke.



We've been to this restaurant in Minnesota.

Ole, Lena, and Sven‏

Lena was in bed with her lover, Sven, when she heard Ole's key in the door.

"Stay vare yu-ou are," she said to Sven. "He's so drunk he von't even notice you're
in da bed wit me."

Sure enough, Ole lurched into bed none the wiser. A few minutes later,
through a drunken haze, he saw six feet sticking out at the end of the bed.

He turned to Lena and said, "Hey, der are six feet in dis bed. Der shud only be four. Vot's go'n' on?"

"Nonsense," said Lena, "Yer so drunk you miscounted. Get outta da bed and try again. Yu-ou can see bedder from over dare."

Ole climbed out of bed and counted. "Vun, too, tree, foor. Damn, yu-our right, Lena honey"

Mice.



Well the mice had fun while we were also having fun in Myrtle Beach. One thing about mice it makes you clean. I guess that's not a bad thing. We are laying over in Longmont to get the Honda checked for 100,000 miles. Dave finally went to the doctor. His ears have been hurting for hum....a long time. So they dug some wax out of his right ear and said he has sinus infection. The first prescrip. was $174.00. We said "try again, doc." The next one was $95.00. Insurance did nothing. How cool is that?
I decided he must be sicker than I thought. The pills are 875mg twice a day.

Sounds of the Wild

A mother was reading a book about animals to her 3 year old daughter.

Mother: "What does the cow say?"

Child: "Moo!"

Mother: "Great! What does the cat say?"

Child: "Meow."

Mother: "Oh, you're so smart! What does the frog say?"

And this wide-eyed little 3 year-old looked up at her mother and in her deepest voice replied, "Bud."

We are done with Myrtle Beach, SC. The week is gone. We all leave tomorrow. The lazy river was a favorite of mine. The beach was nice but without good shells. It is always great to spend time with family.

The turtle and the bird

Deep within a forest, a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort, he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground. The turtle tried again and again, while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate. "Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!





Yup, Mary, Dave's sister has decided she would like to have some chickens. She has made a beautiful chicken coop. Her chickens are very pretty if I could only remember all their names....Lucy, Sophia, Maude.....of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most. Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Letter From Grandmother

A man moves into a Nudist Colony. He receives a letter from his Grandmother, asking him to send her a current photo of himself in his new location.

Too embarrassed to let her know that he lives in a Nudist Colony, he cuts a photo in half, but accidentally sends the bottom half of the photo. He's really worried when he realizes that he sent the wrong half, but then remembers how bad his Grandmother's eyesight is, and hopes she won't notice.

A few weeks later, he receives a letter from his Grandmother. It says:
"Thank you for the picture. Change your hairstyle... it makes your nose look short.
