** A couple were in a busy shopping center just before Christmas. The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and as they had a lot to so, she call him on his mobile. The wife said, “Where are you, you know we have lots to do.” He said, “You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?” Little tears stared to flow down her cheek and she got all choked up… “Yes, I do remember that shop,” she replied. “Well, I am in the gun shop right next door to that.”

** An old man calls his son and says, “Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough.” “Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams. “We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” he says. “I’m sick of her face, and I’m sick of talking about this, so call your sister and tell her,” and he hangs up..
Now, the son is worried. He calls his sister. She says, “No way are they getting divorced!” She calls their father immediately. “You’re not getting divorced! Don’t do another thing! The two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, do not call a lawyer, and do not file a single paper! DO YOU HEAR ME?!” She hangs up the phone.
The old man turns to his wife and says, “Okay, they’re both coming for Christmas, and they are paying their own airfares!”

Market was called steady to strong today. We had lots of buyer interest. Quality varied today. We had quite a bit of good alfalfa in, and grass quality was lacking.

** I was walking with my 5 year old daughter. She picked something up off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the thing away from her and asked her not to do that. “Why?” she asked. “Because it’s been on the ground, and you don’t know where it’s been. It’s dirty. And it probably has germs.” At this point, my daughter looked at me with absolute admiration and asked, “Mom, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.” I thought quickly and replied, “All moms know this stuff. It’s on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don’t let you be a Mom.” We walked along in silence for two or three minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
“Oh, I get it!” she beamed, “So if you don’t pass the test, you have to be the dad!” “Exactly,” I said.
