**Well it’s cold today. How cold you ask? Colder than a brass toilet seat on the shady side of an iceberg. It’s so cold the dogs are sticking to the fire hydrants. It is so cold that the snowmen are migrating south. Its so cold that I’m using an ice tray as a heating pad. It’s so cold that my heartburn is cured. It is so cold that my kids are telling the most outrageous lies just hoping that their pants will catch on fire.

**A trucker pulled into a highway café. “I want 3 flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.” The blonde waitress (first day on the job) didn’t want to look stupid in front of the customer, so she went to the kitchen and asked the cook, “This guy just ordered 3 flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?” “No,” the cook replied. “Three flat tires means three pancakes. A pair of headlights means two eggs sunny side up. And a pair of running boards means 2 slices of crisp bacon!” “Oh. Ok!” said the blonde relieved to finally understand the code words. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer. The trucker asked, “What are the beans for, Blondie?” She replied, “I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights, and running boards, you might as well gas up!”

**An Iowa Winter Poem
It’s winter in Iowa and the gentle breeze blows, 

Seventy miles an hour at thirty below.
Oh how I love Iowa, when the snow is up your butt
You take a breath of winter air and your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the winter here is wonderful. So I guess I will hang around.
I could never leave Iowa, cause I’m frozen to the ground!
