Good morning crew,
Easter weekend is almost here! Unless you're not Christian
in which case it's the fourth weekend in April.
Easter is, of course, a celebration of the Resurrection, but
let's not be hypocrites. The real reason we look forward to
Easter is ham!
Honey baked ham and hard boiled eggs. And let's not forget
the scalloped potatoes with cheddar cheese, quiche, green
bean casserole, home made hot cross buns and cobbler.
I'm not going to have time to color any eggs this weekend,
which is fine, since I'm not Persian or Macedonian.
The Persians were the first to use colored eggs to celebrate
spring in 3,000 B.C. 13th century Macedonians were the first
Christians on record to use colored eggs in Easter cele-
brations.
Crusaders returning from the Middle East spread the custom
of coloring eggs, and Europeans began to use them to
celebrate Easter.
Now you have a bit of trivia to intimidate friends and family
with this weekend.
Laugh it up,
Joe

"Yo, Mrs. Miller," said the bearded guy behind the counter
at the bagel shop.
My husband and I looked at him but drew complete blanks.
"I'm sorry, do we know each other?" I asked.
"Yeah, you was my English teacher."
Leaning over, my husband whispered, "Good job, Honey, good
job."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes ---------------*
Within two weeks of moving into a new house, the homeowner
had to call an electrician, a roofer and a carpenter. One
afternoon he returned early from work and saw a plumber's
truck in the driveway.
"Lord," he pleaded, looking skyward, "please let her be
having an affair."
