  HOME

A local Oro farmer, who prefers his identity remain unknown, took this photo last summer in Oro Township. "The animal appeared to be some sort of bizarre cross-breed of a giraffe and a cat" stated the local man. "It seemed pretty harmless, just eating trees and stuff, until it sat on some cattle and sheep." The enormous beast was tracked back to Canadian Forces Base Borden. A professional zoo-ologist looked closely at this photo, telling us, "It doesn’t look much like a cat or a giraffe tail though! I’ve never seen anything like it" The area was secretly evacuated by military personnel. A local resident told us, "Some of them were wearing white spaceman suits and everything."

 The Games People Play

Ed and Bill moved to Mexico to open a bungee-jumping business. On the first day, they offered a demonstration to spur the locals to open their wallets. Bill attached the cord to his ankle and dove off the tower. He soared toward the crowd and then sprang back up. When Bill got near the top, Ed noticed his friend's clothes were torn. The next time he popped up, Bill had a few small scrapes, and the third time he looked bruised. Finally, he came to a stop and staggered up the ladder.
"What happened to you?" Ed asked.
"I don't know," Bill answered. "What's a pinata?.

Lesson from the Lord

After the Christening of his baby sister in church, little Justin sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. When his father asked him what was wrong the boy finally replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys."

Pete in Payroll

Two guys sat down for lunch in the office cafeteria.
"Hey, whatever happened to Pete in payroll?" one asked.
"He got this harebrained notion he was going to build a new kind of car." his co-worker replied.
"How was he going to do it?"
"He took an engine from a Pontiac, tires from a Chevy, seats from a Lincoln, hubcaps from a Caddy and, well, you get the idea."
"So what did he end up with?"
"Ten years to life."

No Longer Welcome

Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor said, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." The couples agreed and came back at the end of two weeks.

The pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.

The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes, we made it." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.

The pastor then went to the newlywed couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?" "No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young man replied sadly. "What happened?" inquired the pastor. "My wife was reaching for a can of paint on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her right there." "You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor. "We know," said the young man, "We're not welcome at Home Depot anymore, either."

Nutty Professor

Annoyed by the professor of anatomy who liked to tell "naughty" stories during class, a group of female students decided that the next time he started to tell one, they would all rise and leave the room in protest. The professor, however, got wind of their scheme just before class the following day, so he bided his time. Then, halfway through the lecture, he began, "They say there is quite a shortage of prostitutes in France." The girls looked at one another, arose and started for the door. "Young ladies," said the professor with a broad smile, "the next plane doesn't leave till tomorrow afternoon."

Bronze Art

A tourist walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at the exotica, he notices a life-sized bronze statue of a rat. It has no price tag, but is so striking he decides he must have it. He took it to the owner "How much for the bronze rat?" "Twelve dollars for the rat, one hundred dollars for the story," said the owner. The tourist gave the man twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story." As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began following him down the street. This was disconcerting; he began walking faster. But within a couple blocks, the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing. He began to trot toward the bay, looking around to see that the rats now numbered in the millions, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster. Concerned, even scared, he ran to the edge of the bay and threw the bronze rat as far out into the bay as he could. Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the bay after it, and were all drowned. The man walked back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," said the owner, "You have come back for the story?" "No," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze politician?"
