Hi Kathy. Actually, it's raining right now. We could (but probably won't) get up to two inches.

Thanks, Linda, for the pancakes. I've got my syrup.

Here's some input into the Humor Hour

Labrador Retriever A man is sitting in an airliner, which is about to takeoff when another man with a Labrador Retriever occupies the empty seats alongside. The Lab is situated in the middle, and the first man is looking quizzically at the dog when the second man explains that they work for the airline. The airline rep said, "Don't mind Sniffer; he is a sniffing dog, the best there is; I'll show you once we get airborne when I put him to work." The plane takes off and levels out when the handler says to the first man, "Watch this." He tells the dog, "Sniffer, search." Sniffer jumps down, walks along the aisle, and sits next to a woman for a few seconds. It then returns to its seat and puts one paw on the handler's arm. He says "Good boy." The airline rep turns to the first man and says, "That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I'm making a note of this and her seat number for the police who will apprehend her on arrival." "Fantastic!" replies the first man. Once again he sends Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to its seat, and places two paws on the handler's arm. The airline rep says, "That man is carrying cocaine, so again I'm making a note of this and the seat number." "I like it!" says the first man. A third time the rep sends Sniffer to search the aisles. Sniffer goes up and down the plane and after a while sits down next to someone. He then comes racing back, jumps up onto his seat, and poops all over the seat. The first man is really grossed out by this behavior from a supposedly well trained sniffing dog and asks, "What's going on?" The handler nervously replies, "He just found a bomb!

[SouthernHawk]

.... He just found a bomb...

LOVE IT! ! ! ! LMAO ! !

Paybacks....

A man walked into the local Chamber of Commerce of a small town, obviously desperate. Seeing a man at the counter, the stranger asks, ''Is there a criminal attorney in town?''

To which the man behind the counter immediately quipped, ''Yes, but we can't prove it yet!''

Another contribution to the Humor Hour:

A man returns from a trip to Shanghai and is feeling very ill. He goes to see his doctor and is immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo a series of tests. The man wakes up after these tests in a private room at the hospital and the phone by his bed rings. "This is your doctor," says the voice on the phone. "We have the results back from your tests and... I'm sorry, you have an extremely contagious deadly disease known as G.A.S.H." "G.A.S.H?" replies the man. "What in the hell is that?" "It's a combination of Gonorrhea, AIDS, SARS and Herpes," explains the doctor. "My gosh, Doc!" screams the man in a panic, "What are we going to do?" "Well we're going to put you on a strict diet of pizza, pancakes, quesadillas and pita bread," says the doctor, matter-of-factly. "Will that cure me?" "Well, no," says the doctor, "but it's the only food that will fit under the door."
