Good morning crew,
Apparently I missed Oktoberfest! I finally found myself with
a free weekend and wanted to celebrate in true Bavarian style
by finding an authentic Oktoberfest complete with a giant
party tent, an um-pah band in regulation lederhosen and pig-
tailed fraulein serving sauerkraut-smothered bratwurts and
giant steins of foamy, dark beer.
But a thorough search of local entertainment websites turned
up not a single one. It seems Oktoberfest is well over by the
beginning of October.
So I forced old Mason to celebrate my own personal Oktober-
fest with me by driving up to the north side of the city and
hitting the Uberstein for a couple of their giant mugs of
Bavarian-style microbrews.
That night ended predictably. On the plus side, the manager
of the last place we left agreed not to call the police if
Mason returned the giant, 25-pound pumpkin he stole that they
were using as a decoration.
Laugh it up,
Joe

Stationed in Okinawa, Japan, my son and his wife were
expecting their first baby. I was elated when he called
me at work all the way from Japan with the news of my
grandchild's birth. I took down all the statistics and
turned to relate it all to my co-workers.
"I'm a grandmother!" I declared. "It's a baby girl, and she
weighs five pounds."
"When was she born?" someone asked.
Recalling the date my son told me, I stopped, looked at the
calendar, and said in amazement, "Tomorrow!"

A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told
him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a
dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-
or-other had printed it.
"Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector.
"Yes, that was it!"
"You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first books ever
printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million
dollars!"
"Oh, I don't think this book would have been worth anything
close to that much," replied the man. "It was scribbled all
over in the margins by some clown named Martin Luther."
