The plane was only half-full. When an attractive young woman asked if
the seat next to mine was free, my male ego soared. Soon we were chatting
pleasantly, and she told me it was her first flight. "Mom said to sit
next to someone I thought I could trust," she confessed nervously. "And
you look just like my dad."
NOW that feeling I remember, David 1
US Olympic skier Picabo Street has made a substantial donation to a hospital
in her home town. Apparently, her father received life saving intensive care
there after a severe heart attack last year. A hospital spokesperson said:
"We are ve ry pleased that Ms. Street has chosen to remember our hospital in
this manner. Based on the size of Picabo's donation, we will completely
refurbish the intensive care unit of the hospital where her father was
treated. In honor of Ms. Street's donation, the hospital will now call the
unit...Picabo I.C.U.
Ship Chips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first mate on a ship
decided to celebrate an occasion with a "little" stowed away rum.
Unfortnately he got drunk and was still drunk the next morning. The captain
saw him drunk and when the first mate was sober, showed him the following
entry in the ship's log: "The first mate was drunk today." "Captain please
don't let that stay in the log", the mate said. "This could add months or
years to my becoming a captain myself." "Is it true?" asked the captain,
already knowing the answer. "Yes, its true" the mate said. "Then if it is
true it has to go in the log. That's the rule. If its true it goes into the
log, end of discussion" said the captain sternly. Weeks later, it was the
first mate's turn to make the log entries. The first mate wrote: "The ship
seems in good shape. The captain was sober today."
It was Palm Sunday and Sue's five year old son had to stay home from church,
with a neighbor, because of strep throat.
When the family returned home
carrying palm branches, he asked what they were for.
His mother
explained, "People held them over Jesus' head as he
walked by."
"Wouldn't you know it," the boy said, "The one Sunday I
don't go, Jesus shows up!"
The only cow in a small town in Arkansas stopped giving milk. The people did
some research and found they could buy a cow up in Texas for
$200.00.
They bought the cow from Texas and the cow was wonderful. It
produced lots of milk all of the time, and the people were pleased and
very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow
and produce more cows like it. They would never have to worry about
their milk supply again.
They bought a bull and put it in the
pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to
the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull
tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in
his quest. The people were very upset and decided to ask the Vet, who was
very wise, what to do. They told the Vet what was happening.
"Whenever
the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back,
she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs
off. An approach from the side and she walks away to the other
side."
The Vet thinks about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy
this cow in Texas?"
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never
mentioned where they bought the cow.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they
said. "How did you know we got the cow in Texas?"
The Vet replied with
a distant look in his eye, "My wife is from Texas"

When I attended a convention once of oil men, the first speaker was
from Texas. He rambled on about crap for a good half hour and then
introduced the next gent, who happened to be from Oklahoma.
The Texas
man said, "Oklahoma, an outlying province of Texas."
The second
speaker said, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, but, just to set the record straight,
there ain't NO state that can out-lie Texas."
Decker Truck Lines
hiring drivers from defunct Umthun
When Umthun Trucking closed its doors
March 1, Decker Truck Lines began serving the defunct trucking company's former
customers at Umthun's request. Decker took its agreement one step further by
hiring most of Umthun's drivers.
In a press release, Decker President
Donald L. Decker said he expects a very large percentage of Umthun's estimated
300 drivers to join Decker. He added that the two companies have been providing
similar services for "many decades and it is a natural fit to expand Decker's
workforce with Umthun's employees, drivers and owner-operators."
