THE DAILY GROANER - Monday, October 10th 2011
Good Morning Groanies,It was my mom's birthday on Friday. The Friday before I asked her if she had any big plans for her special day. She told me that my dad was taking her for a fun weekend in Shipshewana.
"What and where the hell is that?" I asked.
She said that Shipshewana is a place in Indiana which is known as "The Heart of Northern Indiana Amish Country".
"You're making this up," I said.
"No, I'm for real. Shipshewana is an actual place," she told me.
Shipshewana sounds like something that Sammy Davis Jr. would say. "Hey cats, be sure to enjoy the Shipshewana and don't forget to tip your waitress, babe." Or maybe Jerry Lewis. "I met a nice laaadyyyyyyyyy in Shipshewana!" It sounds made up, doesn't it?
So I looked it up. It's a real place. I couldn't believe it. I thought she was messing with me.
This morning my mom sent me an email about their next getaway destination - Butte, Montana. Now I know she's making that one up. Nice try.
Hey, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
Groaningly yours,

DailyGroaner*-- Did You See That? --*Two guys are out hunting deer. The first guy says, "Did you see that?"
"No," the second guy says.
"Well, a bald eagle just flew overhead," the first guy says.
"Oh," says the second guy.
A couple of minutes later, The first guy says, "Did you see that?"
"See what?" the second guy asks.
"Are you blind? There was a big, black bear walking on that hill, over there."
"Oh."
A few minutes later the first guy says: "Did you see that?"
By now, the second guy is getting aggravated, so he says, "Yes, I did!"
And the first guy says: "Then why did you step in it?"
*-- See Cows --*There was a man in Florida who raised "see cows" or manatees. He soon had so many of them that he stopped giving them names and just assigned them letters of the alphabet. A, B, C, etc. He let them all swim free in the lagoon beside his house. Except for "U", which he kept in a special pen.
I guess he was afraid of losing his "u" manatee.
