Monday, February 3, 2014Good morning crew,
Guess who's back from warm, sunny FLA? Boy, there is a reason they call it the Sunshine State! When we arrived last Tuesday it was about 70 degrees and raining. That was the warmest it got all week. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday it was in the 40s and raining.
Saturday morning, the day we returned to Chicago, it crept back into the 70s and the sun peeked out for a couple hours, but by the time we were ready to leave the clouds rolled in and it started raining again.
Like I said, there is a reason they call it the Sunshine State, I just don't know what it is.
But, I guess it was better than the single digit temperatures here.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***This happened to an Englishman in France who was caught on the road drunk.
The French policeman stops his car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking. With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a French man, and that he drank champagne and a couple bottles of wine at the reception and a quite few glasses of single malt there after.
Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to breath test him and asks the Englishman if he knows under French Law why he is going to be arrested.
The Englishman answers, "No sir, I do not! But while we're asking questions, do you know that this is a British car and my wife is driving...on the other side?"
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*Recently one Congressman from a Bible Belt congressional district was asked about his attitude toward whiskey.
The politician responded, "If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I'm against it."
He continued, "But if you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I'm for it.
"This is my position and I will not compromise."
