A married couple never fought, not even once in 25 years of marriage. A friend of the couple asked, “How is that even possible?” The husband replied, well we went to a ranch for our honeymoon. While horse riding, my wife fell off. She got up and patted the horse and said, “This is your first time.” After a while it happened again and she said, “This is your second time” and when it happened the third time, she pulled out a gun and shot the horse. I shouted at her “Are you CRAZY?! You killed the horse!!” She gave me a look and said, “This is your first time.”

Two flies were buzzing around a messy kitchen and landed on a knife handle. They gorged themselves on leftover particles of bologna. Then they became airborne again, felt dizzy and dropped to the floor dead. The moral of this story? Don’t fly off the handle when you’re full of bologna.

A guy is walking down the street & he sees his friend with a black eye. He asks him what happened.. his friend says, “well I was in church” The man interrupts “Church! How do you get hurt in church?” The friend continues, “well, I was sitting behind this woman, & after a while, with all the standing, sitting & kneeling, I noticed she had developed a wedgie. Now me being a nice guy, I pulled it out for her. She turned around “WHACK”!! The man says, “I can’t believe you did that”, & continued walking. A week later he sees his friend again & he has another black eye. He asked him what happened this time & his friend responds, “Well I was in church again…” The man interrupts, “CHURCH AGAIN?! How do you keep getting hurt in church?!” The friend explains, “Well I was sitting behind Kristin again and..” “DON’T TELLME YOU DID IT AGAIN” “I did not pull it out this time, but her husband was with her & he pulled it out for her.. I know she doesn’t like that, so I pushed it back in”.

A guy is walking down the street & he sees his friend with a black eye. He asks him what happened.. his friend says, “well I was in church” The man interrupts “Church! How do you get hurt in church?” The friend continues, “well, I was sitting behind this woman, & after a while, with all the standing, sitting & kneeling, I noticed she had developed a wedgie. Now me being a nice guy, I pulled it out for her. She turned around “WHACK”!! The man says, “I can’t believe you did that”, & continued walking. A week later he sees his friend again & he has another black eye. He asked him what happened this time & his friend responds, “Well I was in church again…” The man interrupts, “CHURCH AGAIN?! How do you keep getting hurt in church?!” The friend explains, “Well I was sitting behind Kristin again and..” “DON’T TELLME YOU DID IT AGAIN” “I did not pull it out this time, but her husband was with her & he pulled it out for her.. I know she doesn’t like that, so I pushed it back in”.

The market today was lower mainly because the quality was off on alfalfa and grass. Cornstalks remain very strong. Straw is steady to higher.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for a short time and come out wrinkle free and two sizes smaller…
