    well thats it,,,,, hump day today so for all our readers have a grand day..cya.

    The CIA had an opening for an assassin.
    After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were three finalists: two men and a woman.
    For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair... kill her!"
    The man said "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you are not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."
    The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes, so take your wife and go home."
    Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions... to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet.
    The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping sweat from her brow. "This gun is loaded with blanks," she said. "I had to kill him with the chair."

    Their CEO goes to an ad agency to inquire about creating a large billboard downtown. He meets with an account executive and explains his need: "We have a good business, but I just feel like most people have never heard of us. They just go down to one of these big box stores and buy whatever brand of nails they happen to have. I want people to know that "Western Nail Company" is the best brand out there, so I need a billboard that will immediately draw them in, showing them that we have been in business for many years, and produce the best nails in the market". The account executive thinks for a while, and replies "Tell you what: Let me go over some ideas with my creative director, and let's meet in a week". "Fine", says the CEO, "But I want that billboard up in 2 weeks". The following week, the CEO meets with the account executive, who pulls out a mockup of the proposed billboard. The CEO looks it over; it shows Jesus hanging from the cross, while two roman soldiers are looking up at him, smiling. One of them is saying to the other, "Good thing we used Western Nails!" The CEO is shocked: "What is this? I can't use this! I don't want people thinking that our nails were used to crucify Jesus Christ! Change the whole thing, and remember, I want that billboard up by next week!" The account executive replies, "Ok, ok, don't worry. We'll change the whole theme, and we definitely will not have your nails viewed in a negative light. We don't have time to meet again before going to print, but trust us, we know what you want." The CEO relaxes a bit, and agrees to the plan. The following Monday, the CEO is eagerly driving to work knowing the new billboard is posted along the way. He soon drives by it, and almost crashes his car in shock: It now shows a bare cross, with Jesus running away into the sunset, while the two roman soldiers angrily mutter to each other, "Damn! We should've used Western Nails!"

    Check this out. I was at my bank today; there was a short line … just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady.
    It was obvious she was more than just a little irritated … she was trying to exchange yen for dollars.
    She asked the teller, ‘Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?’
    The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘Fluctuations.’
    The Asian lady says, ‘Fluc you white people too!’

    Q: Why did the blonde quit her restroom attendant job?

    A: She couldn't figure out how to refill the hand dryer.

    a wife goes on a retreat for work. When she returns, she finds a pair of panties in her dresser that do not belong to her.

    Furious, she questions her husband. The husband says, "I have no idea where they came from -- I don't do the laundry!"

    So, the wife goes to the maid and questions her. Indignant, the maid replies, "Madam, how should I know? These panties don't belong to me. I don't even wear panties -- just ask your husband!"

    Tuesday morning - "Two Ryanair planes collide on runway."

    Tuesday afternoon - "Ryanair introduce 'crash experience' surcharge."

    Handing over my I.D. at the post office, the clerk blurts out, "You've worn a bit since this photo was taken."

    "You're dead right love!" I replied. "I had it taken just before I joined your f.cking queue."

    I've always been amazed at how long turtles can live.

    Especially when their diet mainly consists of pizza and soft drinks.
    af since the fourth of July 2012...howzat then America..now proudly marching into year 12

      Morning all!
      thanks for the java Mick and the laughs... have to pass the CIA joke along...
      not much hay hauled, had to repair the wagon I borrowed, which of course took all day. The one of the bed supports was broken. Riding along I thought I heard a bearing noise, now he has to replace a wheel. Starting to think about looking for a wagon of my own. Ah well, other things to do till that gets done. Winterize bees, making a small high tunnel.

      Anyone see the eclipse this morning? quite a beautiful moon just before dawn.

      PQ, you sound as if you do not miss the "adventures" of farming!! Don't blame actually, pain in the butt sometimes to get stuff done! Also your clime can be quite extreme.

      How's it going there DTD? What's the word with the ebola situation? Is it something that affects where you live?


      Be well all

        Good morning Abbers & Happy Hump day

        Heavy rain overnight kept waking me up but it's nice & sunny this morning & 55 degrees, nice!

        Mick, I don't do any stud work - LOL
        I know what you're talking about, it's hard to find anyone to do that stuff. It is very hard to do that stuff by hand - good luck!
        I've been busy with work & also taking a little time to do some Halloween gifts for the kids, fun.

        Sam, your monarch butterfly is beautiful. I saw quite a few this summer, glad they found all the plants I put out specially for them.

        SL, hang in there! We couldn't 'fix' ourselves overnight & the same thing goes for our kids. Finding the right path to set them on is the hardest part & you've done that. Now is when patience & persistence pays off, trust me

        Greetings to everyone & sending wishes for a fantastic AF Wednesday for all.
        Has Det signed back on yet??

          Hallo again!

          Sam, no Ebola reports here ...yet. It also helps that we're about half a continent away, but it only takes one infected person travelling to to SA to start spreading it around. And then there is the Spanish nurse who'd only been in contact twice with an infected person... Missed the eclipse - not that we were in its path - but even if we had been, it was overcast and rainy.
          14 October 2013 was the first day of the best days of my life!
