A dietician was giving a lecture to nurses- "The rubbish we put into our stomachs & consume
should have killed us years ago! Red meat is terrible. Fizzy drinks attack your stomach lining.
Chinese food is loaded with msg. Veggies can be disastrous because of fertilizers & pesticides
None of us realize the long-term damage from the rotten bacteria in our drinking water.
However, there is one food that is incredibly dangerous! We all have, or will, eat it at some time
in our lives. Can anyone here tell me what food causes the most grief & suffering for years after
eating it?" A 65 year old nurse sitting in the front row stood up & said 'Wedding cake.'

Heavy volume today as the market continues to weaken, especially on the better-quality alfalfa. We had a very good size buyer crowd in attendance despite the high temperatures. The grass consisted of a lot of mid quality and the alfalfa was mostly mid to poorer quality.  This was the first week with any new straw, obviously the four loads of wheat straw rounds were very nice looking.

Mrs. Jones was looking out of her front window one Sunday afternoon when she saw her neighbor coming up the drive dressed in his gardening clothes. 'He must be coming to borrow our lawnmower,' Mrs. Jones remarked to Mr. Jones indignantly, 'And on Sunday! How shameful.  I won't let him have it..  I'll tell him we haven't got one.'

"You should be ashamed", the father told his son, Andy, "When Abraham Lincoln was your age, he used to walk ten miles every day to get to school."
"Really?" Andy responded. "Well, when he was your age, he was president."
