Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well when I woke up that
morning.


I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,
'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone ' Happy Birthday.'

I thought.....

Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids.... They will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word.


So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.


As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, ' Good Morning Boss, and
by the way Happy Birthday ! '


It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.


I worked until one o'clock , when Jane knocked on my door and said, 'You
know, It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday,
what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.'


I said, 'Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.
Let's go !'


We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go.
She chose instead at a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two
martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office, Jane said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful
day... We don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?'

I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind ?'
She said, 'Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner...'

After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said,
' Boss, if you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a
moment. I'll be right back.'


'Ok.' I nervously replied.


She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out
carrying a huge birthday cake ....


Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all
singing 'Happy Birthday '.

And I just sat there...

On the couch...

Naked.

One time I was staying with my grandparents down at Tripp. Grandparents were in their late 80's at that time.

Grandpa got his coat, hat and turned to Grandma and said, "I have to run down to the jail and when I'm done, I can stop by the grocery store if you need anything. Grandma smiled and said, "We can always use the staples."

About an hour later Grandpa come home and set a small bag on the counter and then went back to the porch to take off his hat and coat. Grandma started laughing. She had opened up the bag and there was a box of staples in it.

DON'T SKIP CHURCH

Rev. Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally

beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf.

So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and asked him

to do the morning service for him that day. As soon as he hung up the phone,

he headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away so he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew.


Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning

and everyone else was in church!


At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from

the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?

The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not." Just then Rev. Norton hit the ball

and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and

fell into the hole.

IT WAS A 420 YARD HOLE IN ONE!

St. Peter was astonished.

He looked at the Lord and asked,

"Why did you let him do that?"

The Lord smiled, and replied, "Who's he going to tell?"

A distraught senior citizen
phoned her doctor's office.
'Is it true,' she wanted to know,
'that the medication you
Prescribed has to be taken
For the rest of my life? '
'Yes, I'm afraid so,' the doctor told her .

There was a moment of silence
Before the senior lady replied,
'I'm wondering, then,
Just how serious is my condition
Because this prescription is marked
'NO REFILLS'.'

I have an electrician friend who says he has two prices: standard and diy - standard is $75 an hour. If you are a diy (do it yourselfer) he charges double. Professionals have the right tools, the efficiencies and the knowledge to do it without breaking it. Makes'em worth the cost once you try it yourself! LOL Been there!! I think most of us have that "shall I put my hand on the stove to see if it's hot?" thing going on in our heads. We just have to find out the hard way. Must be hardwired into our little brains. Or ... it's the independent South Dakota spirit. Prob'ly a little bit of both!

I don't have a joke for you, but got this in an email and wanted to share all of it with you. I know it'll especially touch the hearts of a few here.

A Tribute to our Flag

[Jammie]

It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.



Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.



Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.



But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold ?'



'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded.



So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.



A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'



'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.'



The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.



Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'



'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'



'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.



The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.'



Always remember this whenever you get advice from a government official!
