MONDAY NOVEMBER 14,2005
THOUGHT
FOR TODAY: "A German psychologist says that women talk
more than men because they have a bigger vocabulary. But, it evens out
because men only listen half the
time."
Well, I'm back.
After a month of
being offline due to the power supply letting go and destroying both the
motherboard and processor. Let's say it would have been cheaper and quicker
to buy a new computer, then another month just to catch up on lots of
little things I had been letting slide. I almost decided not to resume The
Funnies.
However, after many emails from my friends and subscribers, I'm
trying to get back in the saddle. The Funnies will be shorter and not daily,
something like 3-4 times a week?
I do have some news to
share with you. I am now a great grandfather. Tiny little (35 weeks,5 lbs. 4
oz.,17 3/4") Skylee Nicole Nevaeh Hopper arrived on November 2 after about
15 hours labor.Both my granddaughter Allison and little Skylee are doing
well.Oh,and let me tell ya, she is
beautiful! ##########################################
Minnesotan's
oh those norsemen
Speaking
Minnesotan Two
Minnesotans walk into a pet shop near Brainerd. They head to the bird section
and Sven says to Ole, "Dat's dem." The owner
comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yah sure,
ve'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere." says Sven. The
owner puts the budgies in a paper bag. Ole and Sven pay for the birds,
leave the shop and get into Sven's pick-up and drive to the top of some
big cliffs near Brainerd Lake. At the
cliffs, Sven looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, "Dis looks like a grand
place." He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps
off the cliff. Ole watches as Sven falls all the way to the bottom, killing
himself dead. Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Ole shakes his head
and says: "By yumpin' yiminy, dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me."
VAIT!!!
Dere's MORE! Moments later
Knute who's been to the pet shop too, arrives at the cliffs. He walks
up to the edge of the cliff carrying another paper bag and a shotgun. .
"Hey, Ole. Vatch dis." Knute says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws
himself over the edge of the cliff. Ole watches
as half way down, Knute takes the gun and shoots the parrot and continues to
plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his
body. Ole shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting
either." BUT VAIT!!!
Dere's MORE, you betcha!! Ole is just
getting over the shock of losing two friends when Larson appears. He's also been
to the pet shop and is carrying a paper bag and pulls our a chicken. Larson
grasps the chicken by the legs, holds it over his head, and hurls himself
off the cliff and disappears down and down and hits a rock and breaks his spine.
Once more Ole shakes his
head...."First der was Sven with his budgie jumping, den Knute
parrotshooting.,.and now Larson
hengliding....."
~~~~~~~~~BaBs~~~~~~~~ My sister, went to the department store to check out the bridal
registry of our niece whose wedding was coming up soon. When my sister
returned from the store, she tossed the gift list on a table and declared,
"I think she's too young to get married."
"Why do you say that?" I
asked.
"Because," she said, "they've registered for Nintendo
games." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "When I was a
youngster," complained the frustrated father, shaking his head, "I was
disciplined by being sent to my room without supper. But our son has
his own color TV, phone, computer and CD player."
"So what do you do
when your son misbehaves?" asked his friend.
"I send him to our
room!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Senior
Exercises
The Doc told me to start an exercise program. Not wanting
to harm this old body, I've devised the following:
Monday Beat around the bush
Jump to conclusions
Climb the walls
Wade through the morning paper

Push my luck
Make mountains out of mole hills
Hit the nail on the head
Wednesday Bend over backwards
Jump on the Band Wagon
Run around in circles
Thursday Advise the President on how
to run the country Toot my own horn
Pull out all the stops
Add fuel to the fire
Friday Open a can of worms
Put my foot in my mouth
Start the ball rolling
Go over the edge
Saturday Pick up the
pieces. Kneel in prayer
Bow my head in thanksgiving
Uplift my hands in praise
Hug someone and encourage
them
What a Workout! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A teacher asked her
students what religious objects they had in their homes.
One boy
answered, "We have a picture of a woman with a halo holding a baby and every day
my mother kneels in front of it."
The next little boy said, "We have a
brass statue of a man seated with crossed legs and a Chinese face, and every day
my parents burn an incense stick before it."
Then a third boy piped up,
"In the bathroom we have a flat, square box with numbers on it. Every day my
mother stands on it first thing in the morning and screams,'OH MY
GOD!!!'" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 cups
white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups butter flavor Crisco 2 eggs 1
tsp. vanilla 4 cups flour(do not sift) 4 tsp. cream of tartar 3 tsp.
soda 1 tsp. salt
Mix sugars, shortening and eggs. Add vanilla. Add
dry ingredients and mix well. Roll in walnut size balls and dip in sugar. Do
not flatten. Bake 350/375 degrees for 10/12 min. Depends on your oven. At
Christmas time I use red or green sugar. Delicious. Large
batch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Black Bean
Enchiladas
1 large onion, chopped 1 medium green pepper,
chopped 2 Tbsp. chicken broth 2 cans (15 oz. each) black beans, rinsed and
drained, divided 1 ½ c. picante sauce, divided 12 flour
tortillas (6 inch) 2 medium tomatoes, chopped ½ cup shredded
fat-free cheddar cheese ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese 3 cups
shredded lettuce 6 Tbsp. fat-free sour cream
In a nonstick skillet,
cook and stir onion and green pepper in boroth for 2-3 minutes or until
tender. Mash one can of black beans. Add to the skillet with ¾ cup
of picante sauce and remaining beans; heat through.
Spoon
¼ cup mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place,
seam side down, in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2 in. baking dish coated with nonstick
cooking spray. Combine tomatoes and remaining picante sauce; spoon over
enchiladas.
Cover and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Uncover;
sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 5 minutes longer. To serve, place ½
cup lettuce on each plate and top with two enchiladas. Garnish each
serving with 1 Tbsp sour cream. Yield: 6 servings. Nutritional
Analysis: One serving (2 enchiladas) equals 404 calories; 9 g fat (1 g
saturated), 7 mg cholesterol, 1,477 mg sodium, 60 g carbohydrate, 9 g fiber,
21 g protein.
**** TODAY'S USELESS FACT
****
Is it okay to drink coffee that's been sitting out
all day?
If you can stand the taste! If you
are asking if coffee "goes bad", consider the
following:
Brewed coffee will deteriorate, though not all at the same
rate. If you take a commercial coffee like Maxwell House or Folgers and let it
get cold, it will be nasty. It will turn bitter.
If you take specialty
coffee and let it get cold, it is still pretty good tasting.
Even
specialty coffee will fade and get unpleasant if left in the open air long
enough. Coffee oxidizes. It gives off aroma (flavor leaves the liquid coffee).
It absorbs ambient aromas (leave coffee next to a counter-top compost bin and in
time, your coffee will pick up some interesting new organic esters).
It
won't hurt you, but coffee is best fresh brewed - there is just so much more
going on in a fresh cup. And at 10 cents for an 8 oz. cup, why be
cheap?
**** WABASH VALLEY
WEATHER **** http://www.wtwo.com/ Weather Summary Winds will
die down tonight. Cooler air working in, combined with scattered clouds it
will be seasonably cool. Monday see warmer air moving in and an approaching
cold front. We`ll start to see scattered showers during the afternoon. The
rain will become more widespread during the evening with late isolated
thunderstorms possible. A warm front will lift North though the area setting
the stage for severe weather Tuesday. Right now the earlier rain and cloud
cover should keep temperatures down, but gusty thunderstorm winds certainly
a possibility. Very cold air moves in Wednesday as the front clears the
Valley. I won`t put them in the forecast, but with the cold air and winds we
could see some flurries in Northern most sections. That`s it. Just flurries.
Weekend looking dry and temperatures will be several degrees below
normal Thursday into early next week at least. -Dan Reynolds

LAST
CALL Y'ALL Deep in the woods of Tennessee on a country
road, a speeder hit and killed a dog. The dog's owner stood nearby, a gun in
his hand.
The speeder looks at the owner sheepishly and says, "Looks as
if I killed your dog."
"Sure does."
I'm sorry. Was it a
valuable dog?"
"I wouldn't say that."
"Well, suppose I gave you a
hundred dollars. Would that be enough?"
"Well, I don't know."
"Two
hundred dollars. That should do it."
"Sounds good."
The speeder
reached into his pocket and came up with the money. Pressing it into the
man's hand, he said, "I'm sorry I spoiled your plans to go
hunting."
"I wasn't going hunting. I was heading out to the woods to
shoot that dang mangy dog."
That's all
