Today’s sale brought good volume and was definitely a buyer’s market.  The quality of hay varied a lot along with the price.  The general market was lower with the exception of alfalfa being better. Demand was lighter on other grades of hay.  **Hay Day is April 2, 2020

** A police officer found a perfect place for watching for speeding motorists.  One day, the officer was amazed when everyone was under the speed limit, so he investigated and found the problem.  A 10 year old boy was standing on the side of the road with a huge hand painted sign which said “Radar Trap Ahead.”  A little more investigative work led the officer to the boy’s accomplice:  another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar trap with a sign reading “TIPS” and a bucket at his feet full of change.

**A man was all upset because they had a red haired baby. He said to the doctor, " My wife and I are black haired, but not my baby!" Doc told him likely generations ago, there was a red head. Man said "No, can't be- for generations we've all been black haired." Doc: "How often do you and your wife sleep together?" "Well I'm a little ashamed of that. I'm so busy. Maybe a few times a year."  Doc: "There you got it- it's rust!!"

** While waiting for her first appointment with her new dentist, Jane notices his degree certificate on the wall, which includes his first name.  Suddenly she remembers a tall, handsome boy from her High School class some 45 years ago who had exactly the same name.  Naturally she wonders whether this can be the same guy.  However upon seeing him, she quickly dismisses any such thought. Surely this aging, balding, grey-haired old man with a deeply lined face could not possibly be one of her old High School classmates?  After he had finished examining her teeth, Jane decides to ask him whether he attended the local high school.  “Yes,” he replied.  “That’s amazing.  What year did you graduate then?” Jane asks.  “In 1973,” he responds.  “Amazing, you were in my class! Jane exclaims.  He looks at her closely and then asks, “What subject did you teach?”
