**A few of us were discussing the perils of drinking and driving when my five- year old granddaughter threw in her two cents. “I can see why it would be dangerous to drink and drive,” she said. “The straw could go up your nose.”

Market was weaker today, and quality was lower. The weather was much poorer and affected our sale today. Looks like we will have a nice sale Monday, so if you need some hay, come on down!

**A woman tries getting on a bus, but she realizes that her skirt is too tight. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus. Embarrassed and with a quick smile to the driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little thinking this would give her enough slack to lift her leg. She tried to take the step, but couldn’t. She again reached behind to unzip a little more, but again was unable to take the step. After becoming quite frustrated and embarrassed, she tried once again to unzip a little more to allow more legroom to get onto the first step. About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her picked her up easily and set her on the first step. She went ballistic and turned to the-would be Good Samaritan and yelled, “how dare you touch my body, I don’t even know who you are!” The Texan smiled and said, “Well ma’am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we were friends.”

**In this life, I’m a woman. In my next life, I’d like to come back as a bear. When you’re a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for 6 months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you’re supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too. When you’re a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you’re sleeping and wake up to partially grown cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you’re a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers you or your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you’re a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. Yes, I’m definitely coming back as a bear.
