WELC0ME to FRIDAY January 19. 2024
Here’s The Story…..
While Bubba and Billy Bob were in the local Wal-Mart, they
decided to get in on the weekly charity raffle.
They bought five tickets each at a dollar a pop. The follow-
ing week, when the raffle was drawn, each had won a prize.
Billy Bob won 1st place- a year’s supply of gourmet spaghetti
sauce and extra long spaghetti.
Bubba won 6th prize- a toilet brush.
About a week or so had passed when the men met back at Wal-
Mart. Bubba asked Billy Bob how he liked his prize, to which
Billy Bob replied, “Great!, I love spaghetti!”
Billy Bob asked Bubba, “How ’bout you, how’s the toilet brush?
“Not so good,” replied Bubba, “I reckon I’m gonna switch back
to paper.” 😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT WEEKEND, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

judgment that something else is more important
than fear.” – Ambrose Redmoon

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
My partner and I pulled our police cruiser up behind a car
stopped on the shoulder of the highway. We got out and asked
the driver if we could help.
“No,” he replied, “there’s no trouble, I just stopped to look at a map.”
When we turned back, we noticed that his German shepherd had jumped in the
open passenger-side front window of our car.
“You may think there’s no trouble,” I smiled, “but your dog
obviously thinks he’s done something wrong. He’s in our patrol
car.” He laughed. “He probably thinks you’ve come to take him to
work,” he replied. “He’s a retired police dog.” 😳😳

Friday’s Quizzler is….
Below is a sonnet called “Washington Crossing the Delaware”, written by David Shulman in 1936. Besides being an epic retelling of an epic historical happening, what is so amazing about this poem?
Washington Crossing the Delaware
A hard, howling, tossing water scene.
Strong tide was washing hero clean.
“How cold!” Weather stings as in anger.
O Silent night shows war ace danger!
The cold waters swashing on in rage.
Redcoats warn slow his hint engage.
When star general’s action wish’d “Go!”
He saw his ragged continentals row.
Ah, he stands – sailor crew went going.
And so this general watches rowing.
He hastens – winter again grows cold.
A wet crew gain Hessian stronghold.
George can’t lose war with’s hands in;
He’s astern – so go alight, crew, and win!
— David Shulman
