YOU KNOW WHAT? WINTER IN WISCONSIN REALLY SUCKS!

Bet you didn't know that Wyatt Earp was a composer. Not a great one, but he could shoot out an okay chorale.

I'll never forget the day two of my best friends, Gary and Jeannie, got married.  I wasn't the groom but I was the BEST MAN there!

This sounds like a job for Inspector Clouseau.

DONNIE WRITES:  

 "Linda and I were out, and came home to find these curious footprints (boots?) across the front patio.  Oddly, the prints tracked not from  the sidewalk but from the garage to the front door.  Even more curious, the pattern seems not a normal gait, but nearly a hopping, both feet together.  There is no indication that anyone was in the garage or house.

We saw this pointed-toe pattern once before, a year or so ago, but then found a business card at the front door identifying the fellow who has coated our driveway a couple times.  I suspect he is back for more business, but this time there was no card, and it doesn't seem the time of year for that kind of work."

Here's an Ole and Lena joke I don't remember hearing before.

Lena asks her boyfriend Ole to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. This being a big event, the Lena tells Ole that after dinner, she would like to go out and (vell ya know) for the first time.

Well, Ole is ecstatic, but he has never (vell ya know) before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some protection.

The pharmacist helps Ole for about an hour. He teaches Ole everything there is to know about protection and (vell ya know).

At the register, the pharmacist asks Ole how many he'd like to buy; a 3-pack, a 10-pack, or a family pack. Ole insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be very busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, Ole shows up at the Lena's parent's house and meets her at the door. "Ole I'm so excited for you ta meet my parents, come on in."

Ole goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where Lena's parents are seated. Ole quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.

A minute passes and Ole is still deep in prayer with his head down. Three minutes of praying pass and still no movement from Ole.

Finally, after five minutes of praying with his head down, Lena leans over and whispers to her Ole, "I had no idea you vere so religious."

Ole turns and whispers back, "I had no idea your father vas a pharmacist."
