Good morning crew,

The wife took her mother downtown to Navy Pier today. As a Mother's Day present she got a couple tickets on one of those three masted schooners that go on afternoon lake tours.

She just sent me a picture of the boat still inside the breakwater with the masts bare. She said the captain just announced that that wind was a little too brisk and he might not raise the sails.

I wrote back, "You paid for a sailing cruise. You tell him to grow a pair and get that canvas up!"

She responded, "Is there something I should know? Did you take out some new insurance on me or something?"

"No, why?" I asked.

She just wrote back, "Because it sounds like you want me dead."

Laugh it up,

Joe

Hunter was 5-years-old and was staying with his grandfather for a few days. He was playing outside with the other kids when he came into the house and asked, "Grandpa, what's it called when two people sleep in the same bedroom and one is on top of the other?"

His Grandpa was a little uncomfortable with the question, but he decided honesty was the best policy. "Well, Hunter, that's called sexual intercourse."

"Oh," Little Hunter said, "OK," and went back outside to play with the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said, "Grandpa, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called bunk beds. And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you."
