The bedding sold mainly steady with more interest in the better quality than the average and lower quality. There remains about 1-2 weeks left of cutting silage before most will be complete.

Right after takeoff, a pilot comes on the microphone to welcome his passengers. “Thank you for flying with us. The weather is....” Then he suddenly starts screaming while still on the mic, “OH MY GOD! IT IS BURNING!!, IT IS BURNING!” Then silence. A few seconds later, he comes back on and says, “I’m terribly sorry about what happened. I spilled some scorching hot coffee on my lap...you should see my pants!!” A voice from the back of the plane yelled, “Why don’t you come here and see ours!”

The biggest challenge a preschool teacher had with her new students getting used to going to school was insisting on NO baby talk in the classroom. “You need to use big people words. Now, John, what did you do over the weekend?” I went to visit Nana.” “No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER! Use big people words!” Then she asked Mitchell. “I took the choo choo!” “No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. Use big people words!” Then she asked little Johnny. “I read a book.” “That’s WONDERFUL! What book did you read?” Johnny thought, puffed out his chest, and proudly said, “Winnie the sh*t”
