Good Morning troops!! Good Morning everyone! Here is today's humor attempt!
A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town.
To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given.
He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. "Who's the boss around here?" he asked.
"I am." said the man.
"I have a black horse and a brown horse," the farmer said, "which one would you like?"
The man thought for a minute and said, "The black one."
"No, no, no, get the brown one." the man's wife said.
"Here's your chicken." said the farmer.

If you are only looking for a single kid, with only a small space, this is really cool....even a trundle.
Great idea for today’s thread MoJo! ! !
Instead of a “warm-up” exercise today – just EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!
Funny bone exercise for today. . . . . Can you spot the pessimist?
An optimist sees the best in the world, while a pessimist sees only the worst. An optimist finds the positive in the negative, and a pessimist can only find the negative in the positive.
For example, an avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.
He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog.
As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. they fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.
The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not say a single word.
On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?"
"I sure did," responded the pessimist. "Your dog can't swim!"
Is this the same "voice" who's afraid to take a bath?
At 6:35 MST? I'm sitting at the kitchen counter munching a muffin and sippin' coffee, watching John Scott on Fox News, waiting for Mrs. HJ to put polish on her nails before taking her to work.
But now, 2 hours later, I'm like you...workin' and lurkin'!!!!
