Did you know dolphins are so intelligent
that within only a few weeks of captivity,
they can train humans to stand at the
very edge of the pool and throw them fish?
     How is that one careless man can start
a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of
matches to start a camp fire?

Susie asked her Mom, *My I take the dog
for a walk around the block?*  Mom replies,
*No, because she is in heat.*  *What*s that
mean?* asked Susie.  *Go ask your father
in the garage.*  Off goes Susie, and asks her
dad.  Dad says, *Bring Belle over here.* He
took a rag, soaked it with gas and scrubbed
the dog's backside with it to disguise the
scent, and said, *Go now, but keep Belle on
the leash and only go 1 time round the block*
Susie left, returned a few minutes later with no
dog on the leash.  Surprised Dad asked,
*Where*s Belle?*  Susie said, *She ran out of
gas about halfway down the block, so another
dog is pushing her home.*

Have a happy and blessed Easter!
The joyful news that He is risen does not
change the contemporary world.  Still before
us lie work, disciplines, sacrifice.  But the
fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power
to do the work, accept the discipline and
make the sacrifice.  (Henry Knox Sherill)
We live & die; Christ died & lived. (Stott)

See you on THURSDAYS.
Ole & Sven, drinking buddies,
worked as aircraft mechanics
in Minneapolis & one day be-
cause of fog, they were stuck
with nothing to do.  *Wish we
had somethin to drink,* says
Ole.  Sven says, *I hear you
can drink dat jet fuel & get
a buzz. Let's try it.*  So after
a couple glasses, they were
completely smashed.  Next
morning Ole wakes & can
not believe how good he feels -
no hangover;  no side effects;
NOTHING.  He calls Sven &
Sven feels great too.  Ole
thinks they ought to do this
more often, but then Sven
said there was yust von ting!
He asked Ole if he had
passed any gas yet?  Ole
had to stop & think but finally
said no he had not.  Sven
said, *Vell, DO NOT do
dat, cause I am in Iowa.*

Beautiful, bright, sunny day-
Market was steady to stronger.
Even under ideal conditions people have
trouble locating their car keys in a pocket,
finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail
on the Donkey, but I'll bet everyone can find
and push the snooze button from 3 feet away,
in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time ,
every time.
