Good morning crew,

We are in for some fine summer weather this weekend. And good timing too since the wife and I are getting desperate to find a house we can afford and we need to get out and do some looking.

Not that we haven't already looked at about 50 houses, unfortunately everything we like we can't afford.

But I have a plan. If you went to college you almost certainly attended at least one "kegger" party. That is where somebody, usually living in a house off campus, buys a keg of beer and then invites a whole bunch of people over and sells plastic beer cups for $5 or $10. Frequently this was used as a way to raise rent money.

My idea is to do something similar, except instead of $5 or $10 a cup I would have to charge about a thousand dollars.

Okay, so It's not a perfect plan, but it's the best I have so far.

Laugh it up,

Joe

A little son of a Baptist minister was in church one morning when he saw for the first time the rite of baptism by immersion. He was greatly interested in it, and the next morning proceeded to baptize his three cats in the bathtub.

The first kitten bore it very well, and so did the young cat, but the old family cat rebelled. It struggled, clawed and tore at him, and got away.

With considerable effort he caught it again and proceeded with the ceremony. But she acted worse than ever, clawed at him, spit, and scratched his hands and face.

Finally, after barely getting her splattered with water, he dropped her on the floor in disgust and said: "Fine, be an Atheist."

Contrary to popular belief, most blondes do indeed know the value of a dollar. The other day a blonde from Atlanta had her car break down. The tow truck driver charged her $65.00 to take the car to the garage less than 10 miles away.

When she told her husband that evening, he said that the driver had taken advantage of her.

She said, "I thought so. But I made him earn it. I kept the brakes on all the way."
