Good morning crew,

If April showers really do bring May flowers we are going to be up to our posteriors in petunias next month. Fortunately the wife and I were able to dodge the raindrops over the weekend and get out to look at a few houses.

We found a few places we like, but apparently while house prices are going up condo prices continue to stagnate (or even go down as is the case in my neighborhood). So we are stymied.

The year is still young so I am trying to stay optimistic. Really, how bad could the economy get?

Laugh it up,

Joe

A man sees a job ad posted on a construction site, "Handy man wanted; apply within."

So he does and speaks to the foreman.

"Can you drive a Bobcat?" the foreman asks.

"No."

"Can you plaster?"

"No."

"Have you ever done any carpentry?"

"No."

"If you don't mind me asking," says the foreman, "what's so handy about you?"

"Well, I only live about five minutes down the road..."
