The International Olympic Co. announced today it's taken back the gold medal previously awarded to American skier Lindsey Vonn and given it to U.S. President Barack Obama, saying he deserved the medal more than Vonn because no one has ever taken a country downhill faster than he has. (Come on - this is funny even if you don't agree.)

A police car pulled up in front of G'ma's house and G'pa got out. The police officer explained to G'ma that the gentleman was lost in the park & couldn't find his way home. "O, dear," said G'ma, "You've been going to that park for over 30 years. How could you get lost?" G'pa leaned close so the officer would not hear & whispered, "I wasn't lost. I was just too tired to walk home."

A Sunday School teacher asked her
class, *Does anyone know where the
Lord lives?* *He lives in our bath-
room,* piped up Jimmy. *Why would
you think that?* asked the surprised
teacher. *Because every morning Dad
goes to the bathroom door & says,
*Good Lord, are you still in there?*

Rick pulls into a crowded
parking lot & rolls down the
car windows to make sure his
dog has fresh air. Dog is
stretched out on back seat &
Rick wants to impress upon
him that he must remain there.
Walking to the curb backward
and pointing his finger at the car,
he keeps saying *Now you stay.
Do you hear me? Stay!!*
Driver of nearby car is watching
& says increduously, *I don*t
know about you, but I usually
just put my car in park.*

Clark was walking the hay
route uptown. He says to
Frank, *I*m a walking
economy.* *What do you
mean?* Frank asks. Clark
replies, *My hair line is in
recession, my stomach is a
victim of inflation and both of
these things are pulling me
into a deep depression.*

Paraprosdokians (Winston Churchill
loved them) are figures of speech in
which the latter part of a phrase
is surprising or unexpected.
1. Where there*s a will, I want to be in it.
2. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a
fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit
salad.
3. I*m supposed to respect my elders,
but it*s getting harder & harder for me
to find one now.

May you have a blessed
Resurrection Day celebration
on Sunday. Max Lucado says
Jesus* death & resurrection
made all the difference in
the world. For when He died,
so did your sins. And when
He arose, so did your hope.
For when He rose, your grave
was changed from a final
residence to temporary housing.
If you never read one of Max*s
books, pick one up to enjoy this
wordsmith master!

A newcomer to Rock Valley drove up to the stop light corner in town today. Seeing the entire police force (2?) with lights flashing, he studies the scene. On one side of the street, men are throwing straps over a semi load of hay. Further down 3 men are rolling one huge bale of hay down the street. "Wow!" says the passerby, "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the tests they're giving now."
