My Sister Barb in Saskatchewan sent me this bit of humor.  As you can tell, she is  a chip off the old block. Enjoy.

‘Hello, is this the Police Office?’
‘Yes. What can I do for you?’
‘I’m calling to report ’bout my neighbour Jack Murphy…He’s hidin’ marijuana inside his firewood! Don’t quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he’s hidin’ it there..’
‘Thank you very much for the call, sir.’
The next day, twelve RCMP Officers descend on Jack’s house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept.
Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana.
They sneer at Jack and leave.
Shortly after, the phone rings at Jack’s house.
‘Hey, Jack! This here’s Floyd….Did the Police come?’
‘Yeah!’
‘Did they chop your firewood?’
‘Yep!’
‘Happy Birthday, buddy!’

Saskatchewan people know how to Git ‘er Done!

A guy is 84 years old and loves to fish.
He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say,
‘Pick me up.’
He looked around and couldn’t see anyone.
He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,
‘Pick me up.’
He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.
The man said, ‘Are you talking to me?’
The frog said, ‘Yes, I’m talking to you.’
Pick me up then, kiss me and I’ll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.
I’ll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!’
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.
The frog said, ‘What, are you nuts? Didn’t you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.’
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,
‘Nah, at my age I’d rather have a talking frog.’

With age comes wisdom.

Well how you all doing today?? For myself other than clean the driveway with the old snow blower, an going for an hour walk, my day has been quite  mild.  On saying that I often wonder how many folks today just take a day and do nothing.  Nothing other than getting some fresh air and a touch of exercise.  I bet not to many, as for most folks today when taking a day off  usually just sit around and watch some TV, play on the net or have a snooze.  Now don’t get me wrong, as there is nothing wrong with a snooze now and then, as I do enjoy them once in awhile, especially after lunch.  Even five minutes seems to give me the boost I need to make it through the rest of the day.  Well there again I shouldn’t say I don’t need any excuse to make it through a  day, as I enjoy every day that happens by.  I would have to say I enjoy the daytime hours as much as I do the night time hours, as bed to me looks as good as getting up in the mornings.  So there you go, a post about nothing, but is it nothing, could be, might be, hmm……………..maybe I will lay down and check my eyelids for leaks and give it some thought.
