At a convention of biological scientists, one prominent
researcher remarked to another, "Did you know that in
our lab we have switched from mice to lawyers for our
experiments?"

"Really?" the other researcher replied. "Why did you switch?"

"Well, for three reasons. First, we found that lawyers are
far more plentiful. Second, the lab assistants don't get so
attached to them. And third, there are some things even a
rat won't do."

Who am I calling wierd? Let's see, how many of us are Canteen regulars? If you really think about it, FlagMan was right when he told us, "Youse guys just ain't right!" LOL!!

[tomkow6]

How fast will that thing go, anyway?

If WE get to drive, a HUNDRED GAZILLION MILLION MILES PER SECOND!

A couple just started their Lamaze class and they were
given an activity requiring the husband to wear a bag of
sand -- to give him an idea of what it feels like to be
pregnant. The husband stood up and shrugged saying,
"This doesn't feel so bad."

The Lamaze instructor then dropped a pen and asked the
husband to pick it up.

"You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant,
the way my wife would do it?" the husband asked.

"Exactly," replied the instructor.

To the delight of the other husbands, he turned to his wife
and said, "Honey, pick up that pen for me."

I agree wholeheartedly, cote! I love the way that little guy is dressed, and how he's running to his daddy's arms. It's the most beautiful photograph I've seen in a long, long time. Fantastic!

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment:

Get their parents to tell them a story with
a moral at the end of it.

The next day the kids came back and one by
one began to tell their stories

Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a
lot of egg-laying hens.

One time we were taking our eggs to market
in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when
we hit a big bump in the road and all
the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."
"And what's the moral of the story?" asked the
teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.

Next little Sarah raised her hand and said,
"Our family are farmers too.
But we raise chickens for the meat market.
We had a dozen eggs one time, but when
they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the
moral to this story is, "don't count your chickens
before they're hatched."

"That was a fine story Sarah."

"Michael, do you have a story to share?"

"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told me this story about my
Aunt Karen.
Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in Desert Storm
and her plane got hit.
She had to bail out over enemy territory and all
she had was a bottle of whiskey,a machine gun
and a machete.

She drank the whiskey on the way down so it
wouldn't break and then she landed right in the
middle of 100 enemy troops.

She killed seventy of them with the machine gun
until she ran out of bullets.

Then she killed twenty more with the machete till
the blade broke.

And then she killed the last ten with her bare
hands.

"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what
kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that
horrible story?"

"Stay the Hell away from Aunt Karen when she's been
drinking."

I don't know how fast it goes, but the only driver we've come up with yet it one of tom's voices. They are begging to drive. Somehow, this does not inspire my full confidence. LOL! Know anybody that can drive? Maybe we will have to get the driver's manual and one can read and the other handle the controls. I'll bet we can do it together. Whadda ya think? Tom can come too, and maybe one of his voices will have some hidden talent. And he wants to bring his kitty katz.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Whew...just glad to know you weren't singling me out! LOL (Although I DO admit to being somewhat, uh..."different".)

So we're ALL weird. Cool. ; )

I don't know how fast it goes, but the only driver we've come up with yet it one of tom's voices. They are begging to drive.

Oh. That's what he meant by "we". Why am I suddenly nervous? LOL

[Soaring Feather]

I love this picture so much. I just had to post it again.

I'm so glad you did, I love this photo, also.

Hey you guys!

This is the first mail call where I've been lucid enough to figure out the groove around here (I'm a bit of a newbie), but I just wanted to take a minute and send you guys my best wishes, support, and thanks for everything you are doing for us. It's so great to know you enjoy the Canteen, and it's awesome to know you can feel how much we all love and appreciate you guys.

Stay safe and hurry home! Hope to hear from all of you soon. Marty, I'll put in a good word with the little mouse for you. ; )

Hugs,
Duchess

[Kathy in Alaska]

Tom, all these "love definitions" by kids are so precious. Thank you so much for posting them.

Dear Michael USArmy,

Missouri FReepers, Zip, DogRobber, Bretmilk, Prov3456 all of us, are so pleased to know our messages are being seen. Although all the things we think and feel won't fit on a poster board, please know that even the ones with only a couple of words on them have all of our hearts in the letters.

Thank you for taking the time to keep us all charged up at the Canteen. Like for you all, mail call is the best day for us, too!
