Rock Valley Hay Auction

87 Loads

We had a rather large sale today. The market was generally lower with a limited demand on average and poor grade alfalfa and grass and a big demand for the better grade of alfalfa and grass.

**Several men were in the locker room of the gym when a cell phone on a bench rang and a man put it on speaker and begins to talk.  Everyone else in the room stopped to listen.  Man: “ Hello!”  Woman: “Hi Honey, it’s me.  Are you at the club?”  Man: “Yes.”  Woman:  “I’m at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat.  It’s only $2,000; is it ok if I buy it?”  Man: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.”  Woman: “I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked.”  Man:  “How much?”  Woman:  “$90,000.”  Man: “Ok, but for that price I want it with all the options.”  Woman: “Great! Oh, and one more thing.  I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market.  They’re asking $980,000 for it.”  Man: “Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000.  They’ll probably take it.  If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it’s what you really want.”  Woman: “Ok. I’ll see you later! I love you so much!”  Man: “I love you too.”  The man hung up. The other men in the locker room were staring at him in astonishment, mouths open wide.  He turned and asked, “ Anyone know whose phone this is?”

26 Loads

The market was lower for today’s sale, with not a lot of buyer interest, and the quality of hay was average at best.

** A Valentine’s Story:  A high school English teacher was noted for being a fair but hard grader.  One day Mike received a B- on a theme paper.  In hopes of bettering the grade and in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Mike sent her a heart shaped box of chocolates with the inscription, “Be Mine.” The  following day Mike received a Valentine from the teacher.  It read, “Thank you, but it’s still Be Mine-Us.”
