He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft. Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted, "Are there any gators around here?" "Naw," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!" Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore. About halfway there he asked the guy, "How'd you get rid of the gators?" "We didn't do nothin'," the beachcomber said. "Really?" said the tourist. The beachcomber added, "Yeah, the sharks got 'em." __________________________________________________ Did you know there is a support group for people who talk too much?

When they got within 20 miles, Bubba put his hand on Betty-Sue's knee. Betty-Sue told him: "Oh, darling, were are married now. You can go further." So, like the real red-neck he is, he put both hands on the steering wheel, stomped down the accelerator, and drove all the way to Miami. __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! _____________________________________________________ Three churches - Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian - worked together to sponsor a community-wide revival. After the revival had concluded, the three pastors were discussing the results with one another. The Methodist minister said, "The revival worked out great for us! We gained 4 new families." The Baptist preacher said, "We did better than that! We gained 6 new families." The Presbyterian pastor said, "Well, we did even better than that! We got rid of our 10 biggest trouble makers!" ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ The good bishop knew very well that not only did everyone in his small town look to him for an example, but that all too often, all eyes were on him as potential fodder for the local gossip mill, as well. This could be wearing; but usually, he was able to provide the good example and escape the tattlers. One night, however, after a long, hard day, a social obligation beckoned on top of his church responsibilities, and he came to a sudden stopping place. His hostess, noting that he looked tired, asked with concern, "A spot of tea, Bishop?" "No, thank you," he managed. "No tea." "Ah," she said. "Coffee, then?" "No coffee either, thank you." In the spirit of triage, she leaned closer and murmured, "I could bring you a scotch and soda in a dark mug?" "My dear, this is my last word: NO soda." ____________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits from: Robert RE: Better games than football or basketball Dear Webby I am getting fed up with the brainless primadonnas in Football and BasketBall. What do you watch? Robert Dear Robert When I have time, I watch Hockey. VERY High Speed Mortal Combat. Just google for a site, that shows games in your area. Personally, I prefer NHL games, even though my two favorites have been knocked out for this season. You can try https://nhl66.ir/simulator or google for your favorite teams. Some games are free, some are not. ALL hockey players no matter whether or not they have served in the military, stand for the anthem, and many of them sing. Have FUN!

"I'd like to know why," she scoffed. The clerk thought about it for a moment, then his face brightened and he replied, "The horses are a lot older now?" ____________________________________________________ Today, February 3 in 1488, The Portuguese navigator Bartholomeu Diaz landed at Mossal Bay in the Cape, the first European known to have landed on the southern extremity of Africa. 1690, The first paper money in America was issued by the Massachusetts colony.
