Good morning crew,

I'm getting a little vacation tonight. Instead of teaching I am going to be a spectator. The wife has a promotion test at the old school. She is a taekwondo instructor there as well as a student (that's how we met all those years ago) and tonight she will be testing for one of the intermediate levels in between second and third degree.

Last weekend I helped her practice for her board-breaking and the poor little sweetie bruised her foot trying to go through two boards with a running jump-reverse kick. But she has had four days to heal up so she should be back in shape for tonight.

Then to celebrate she wants to drag me way out to the suburbs Saturday night to go country line dancing at some purgatory called The Cadillac Ranch.

So with any luck she will bruise her foot again tonight and we will be forced to bow out of that little excursion.

I'll let you know what happens next week.

Laugh it up,

Joe

A man was sitting next to me in one of the two "husband chairs" in a ladies' clothing store.

After 30 minutes and five outfits, the fellow's wife came out of the changing room again.

He looked at her and immediately said: "That looks good on you. Get that one."

"Honey," she replied, "this is what I was wearing when we came in."


*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*
Traveling down the interstate and needing to use the bathroom, I stopped at a rest area and headed to the restrooms.

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: 'Hi, how are you?'

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom and I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed, 'Doin' just fine.'

And the other person says: 'So what are you up to?'

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: 'Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling.'

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. 'Can I come over?'

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell them 'No..I'm a little busy right now!'

Then I hear the person say nervously... 'Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions.
