Sunday Funnies

Some time ago, a blogger posted something fun they'd found in the local, small-town newspaper's police report.  

I was just reminded of that when I read the following, posted on the local ISP's electronic bulletin board.  I have a feeling that this is a service that NOT all of you would ever need.  Besides, it sounds like a very wink-wink, nudge-nudge horrible pick-up line, "Hey, gorgeous, do you need your culvert steamed?"  Hahahahahahaha!  Ohhh, I kill myself.

Here's the ad:

CULVERT STEAMING - Dave Berntside*

Do you need your culvert steamed?

Call Dave

(218) 555-0000

* A fictitious name, of course.

Exercise

Thanks to a friend (who, I know, I haven't seen in YEARS even tho we only live 3 hours apart!) for this classic bit of exercising advice:

Here is a little secret for building arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this regimen! Three days a week works well.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-LB. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks and then 50-LB. potato sacks and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-LB. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it.

Hee hee. ;)

Joke For The Day

Tom borrowed one of Mom & Dad's Suburbans (the back of our pickup is full of rock to supply weight for plowing this winter . . . plus, it's not enclosed) yesterday to run up to Ely to pick up the new Hearthstone woodstove. It's ADORABLE and fits PERFECTLY where it's going to go in the sunroom! Now I can REALLY start getting the furniture properly arranged in there! That room has been the catch-all since we moved in, and we've never really been able to use it. But, watch out, now!

Today's Ha Ha
