LOST IN CANADA

An American and his wife were driving in Canada and got lost on the prairie. After what seemed like forever, they finally came to a city.

When they saw a gentleman on the sidewalk they pulled up to the curb and the lady wound down her window and asked: "Excuse me, sir. Where are we?"

The gentleman replied, "Saskatoon, Saskatchewan."

The woman rolled up the window, turned to her husband and said, "We really are lost. They don't even speak English here!"

IQ Test

An IQ test question given to a banker, an electrician, and a politician was, "What term would you use to describe the problem that results when outflow exceeds inflow?" The banker wrote, "Overdraft." The electrician wrote, "Overload." The politician wrote, "What problem?"

Frugal

Mary's fourth-grade homework assignment was to make sentences using the words in her spelling list, along with the definition. Coming across the word "frugal" in the list, she asked her father what it meant. He explained that being frugal meant you saved something. Her paper read: Frugal: to save Sentence: Maid Marion fell into a pit when she went walking in the woods so she yelled for someone to come get her out. She yelled "Frugal me, Frugal me!"

BJW More Camping

The famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his best friend and partner Dr. Watson decide to take a break from their latest crime-solving efforts and go camping. After setting up camp and settling down into their sleeping bags, they drift off to sleep. Sometime later, Sherlock asks: “Watson, are you awake?” “Yes,” he says. “Look up at the stars and tell me: What can you deduce from them?” Sherlock asks. Watson thinks for some time before responding: “While someone may be able to number them, the stars are, for all intents and purposes, countless. Given the sheer number of them, it is reasonable to assume that some are suns circled by planets, some of which may be very like our own. There is a chance, however small, that there is life on at least one of those, meaning that we are not alone in the universe.” Holmes sighs: “Watson, you dolt. Someone’s taken our tent!”

Hello All

Just a quick update from the home front.  I'm still working out of town and trying to sell one house so I can buy another.  Every other weekend or so I come home to see the family.  This is one of my trips home.


I'll be taking off again in about an hour, but I wanted to say hey.  At some point I'll break down and get internet service in the new town, but for now I'm not bothering.  If it wasn't for the two year contracts everyone wants you to sign I'd do it.  For now it doesn't make sense to get internet and not know if I'm going to have to pay a big cancelation fee when I change from my apartment to a house.


I took a few minutes and stocked up the BJW queue so there are some posts on tap.


I hope you all are having a great summer! Take care.
