Story Time: "The Thanksgiving Visit"
A man in Acworth, Georgia calls his son in San Diego the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough. "Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Denver and tell her." Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this," She calls immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up. The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

Veteran's Day ... Never Forget!
You put it on the line for us
We won’t forget, you are A-Plus
This country stands because of you
Your service seals red white, and blue
No better troops embrace this earth
Thank God for you, our greatest worth
We pray for you both night and day
God be with you along your way
You wear your uniform with pride
And use your skills, so well applied
The rank you hold does mean one thing
You’re a GI and you are first-string
Be well assured we back you strong
How proud we say ‘that you belong’
Without your will - to walk the walk
We’d have no right - to talk the talk

We're darn proud of our nephew Robb who is a Coast Guard pilot and was on the Coast Guard helicopter in this video during the rescue of the fishermen last week in Alaska. You can hear Robb in the background talking to the C-130's and the Communications Station back in Kodiak.

Story Time: "The New HDTV"
A farmer finally decided to buy a new HDTV. The store assured him that they would install the antenna and HDTV the next day.
The next evening the farmer turned on his new HDTV and found only political ads on every channel. The next morning he turned the TV on and found only political ads again.
When he came in to eat lunch he tried the TV again but still only found political ads.
The next day when he still found only political ads he called the store to complain. The owner said that it was impossible for every channel to only have political ads, but agreed to send their repairman to check the HD TV.
When the TV repairman turned on the TV he found that the farmer was right. After looking at the TV for a while he went outside to check the antenna. In a few minutes he returned and told the farmer he had found the problem.
The antenna had been installed on top of the windmill and grounded to the manure spreader.

Do Not Try This At Home
I am passing this on to you because it definitely works and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following the simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil
show, you too can find inner peace. Dr Phil proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.' So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my
old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how good I feel right now!

Story Time: "The Police Chase"
Once upon a time a senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 90 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. 'Amazing,' he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Georgia State Trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, 'What am I doing? I'm too old for this,' and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, 'Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go.' The old gentleman paused. Then said, 'Years ago, my wife ran off with a Georgia State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.' ''Have a good day, sir,' replied the trooper.

How to Install a Home Security System in the South
1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns and Ammo Magazine.
3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads:
Hey Bubba - Me, Big Jim, Duke and Slim went for more ammunition. Back in an hour.
Don't mess with the pit bulls - they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it, but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside.

Story Time: "The Moral To The Story Is ... "
Once upon a time, a teacher in Cobb County gave her fifth grade class an assignment to have their parents tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. “Tony, do you have a story to share?” the teacher asked.
“Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Aunt Karen when she was a pilot in the Air Force and her plane got shot down.
She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down to calm her nerves.
However, her parachute ended up landing right in the middle of the enemy troops. So she shot fifteen of them with her gun until she ran out of bullets then killed four more with her knife and then she killed the last Taliban fighter with her bare hands.”
“Good Heavens” said the horrified teacher. “What kind of moral did your daddy try and tell you from this horrible story?”
“He told me to stay the heck away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking.”

Try This With Your Boss & Let Me Know How It Works For You.
Dear Boss
I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well and given me benefits beyond belief.
I have 3-4 months off per year, a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and a health plan that most people can only dream about.
Despite this, I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new position.
During this time, I will show up for work when it is convenient. In addition, I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the other perks associated with my current job.
Oh yeah, if my search for this new job proves fruitless, I will be back with no loss in pay or status. Before you say anything, remember that you have no choice in the matter. I can and will do this.
Sincerely,
Every Senator or Congressman running for President.

Story Time: Unemployment Compensation
Once upon a time Sven and Olaf worked together in a Minnesota factory....and both were laid off. So...dey went to the Unemployment Office together.
Asked his occupation, Olaf said, 'Panty stitcher. I sew da elastic onto da ladies cotton panties.'
The clerk looked up panty stitcher. Finding it classified as unskilled labor, she gave Olaf $300 a week in unemployment compensation.
Sven, when asked his occupation replied, 'Diesel fitter.'
The clerk looked up diesel fitter...and it was classified as a skilled job. So, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week in unemployment compensation.
When Olaf found this out, he was furious! He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his benefits.
The clerk explained, 'Panty stitchers are unskilled labor and diesel fitters are skilled labor.'
'Vat skill?' yelled Olaf. 'I sew da elastic on da panties. Olaf puts dem over his head and says,
'Yah...... DIESEL FITTER.'
