interest being decent.

**A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 bill fell out onto the sidewalk. Noticing this, a policeman stopped her and said, “Ma’am, there are $20 bills falling out of your bag.” “Oh really? Darn it!” said the little old lady. “I’d better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me, officer.”
“Well now, not so fast,” said the cop. “Where did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?”
“Oh, no, no,” said the lady. “You see, my back yard is right next to a golf course. A lot of golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence right next to my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers you know. Then I thought ‘why not make the best of it?’ So now I stand behind my fence by the knot hole, real quiet like, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab ahold of it and say ‘OK, buddy! Give me $20 or off it comes!”
“Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop laughing. “Ok. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?” “Well, not everyone pays.”

We would like to thank you all for another awesome year in the hay business! We look forward to continuing business with you in 2020! We had a decent size sale due to taking a day off last week. We will have a sale on Thursday, but volume may be restricted by the weather. Market today was called steady to strong on both alfalfa and grass. Quality was pretty good.

** On New Year's Eve, Daniel was in no shape to drive, so he sensibly left his van in the car park and walked home. As he was wobbling along, he was stopped by a policeman. 'What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?' asked the police officer.
'I'm on my way to a lecture,' answered Roger.
and who on earth, in their right mind, is going to give a lecture at this time on New Year's Eve?' inquired the constable sarcastically.
'My wife,' slurred Daniel grimly.

Today’s sale brought good buyer attendance with alfalfa selling mostly steady. Overall the quality was decent. Grass market was a little low with a lot of average quality grass. Straw was a little weaker and cornstalks were steady.

*Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman sitting already dressed on his bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted that he didn’t need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down, I asked him if his wife was meeting him. “I don’t know,” he said. “She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.”

**Last Christmas, Grandpa was feeling his age, and found that shopping for Christmas gifts had become too difficult. So he decided to send checks to everyone instead. In each card he wrote, “Buy your own present!” and mailed them early. He enjoyed the usual flurry of family festivities, and it was only after the holiday that he noticed that he had received very few cards in return. Puzzled over this, he went into his study, intending to write a couple of his relatives and ask what had happened. It was then, as he cleared off his cluttered desk that he got his answer. Under a stack of papers, he was horrified to find the gift checks which he had forgotten to enclose with the cards.
