**A woman went to the Doctor’s office where she was seen by one of the new doctors. After about 4 minutes in the exam room, she burst out screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and told her to go relax in another room. The older doctor marched down the hallway to the back where the first doctor was and demanded, “What’s the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she had two grown children and several grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?!” The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said, “Does she still have the hiccups?”

**Well it’s cold today. How cold you ask? Colder than a brass toilet seat on the shady side of an iceberg. It’s so cold the dogs are sticking to the fire hydrants. It is so cold that the snowmen are migrating south. Its so cold that I’m using an ice tray as a heating pad. It’s so cold that my heartburn is cured. It is so cold that my kids are telling the most outrageous lies just hoping that their pants will catch on fire.

**A trucker pulled into a highway café. “I want 3 flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.” The blonde waitress (first day on the job) didn’t want to look stupid in front of the customer, so she went to the kitchen and asked the cook, “This guy just ordered 3 flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?” “No,” the cook replied. “Three flat tires means three pancakes. A pair of headlights means two eggs sunny side up. And a pair of running boards means 2 slices of crisp bacon!” “Oh. Ok!” said the blonde relieved to finally understand the code words. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer. The trucker asked, “What are the beans for, Blondie?” She replied, “I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights, and running boards, you might as well gas up!”

**An Iowa Winter Poem
It’s winter in Iowa and the gentle breeze blows, 

Seventy miles an hour at thirty below.
Oh how I love Iowa, when the snow is up your butt
You take a breath of winter air and your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the winter here is wonderful. So I guess I will hang around.
I could never leave Iowa, cause I’m frozen to the ground!

**A man left from work one Friday afternoon. Instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend hunting and fishing with the boys and spending all his wages. When he finally got home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his very angry wife. After two hours, she stopped nagging and said, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?” He replied, “That would be fine with me.” Monday went by and he didn’t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday provided the same results. Thursday the swelling went down just enough for him to see her just a little out of the corner of his left eye.
