** A young boy walks into a barber’s shop and the barber whispers to the customer to whom he’s currently attending, “This kid has got to be the dumbest kid in the world.  Watch and I’ll prove it to you.”  The barber then puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then he says to the boy, “Hey kid, which do you want the dollar bill or the quarters?”  The boy decides to take the quarters and then he leaves the shop.  “What did I tell you? said the barber.  “That dumb kid never learns!”  Later, when the customer is leaving the barber shop he sees the same kid coming out of the ice cream store.  “Hey, kid!  May I ask you a question?” asks the customer.  “Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”  The boy licks his ice cream for a moment before saying, “Because the day I take the dollar bill the game is over!”

**A Professor was traveling by boat.  On his way he asked the sailor:  “Do you know Biology, Ecology, Zoology, Geography, and Physiology?”  The sailor said no to all his questions.  Professor:  What the hell do you know on Earth.  You will die of illiteracy.  After a while the boat started sinking.  The Sailor asked the Professor, do you know swiminology and escapology from sharkology?”  The Professor said no.  Sailor:  “Well, sharkology and crocodilogy will eat your assology, headology and you will dieology because of your mouthology.

**A couple are out for a walk when they notice a large sign outside a house which reads, “Talking dog for sale.”  They are both intrigued by the idea of a talking dog, so they knock on the door and ask if they can take a look at this dog.  “Sure! Says the owner, “Come on in.”  The owner escorts them into the lounge where the dog is lying on the sofa watching television.  “Hello,” they say to the dog.  “Hello,” the dog responds.  “What have you done with your life so far then?” the couple ask the dog.  “Well, actually I’ve led a very full life,” says the dog. “Really?” says the couple.  “Yes, really,” says the dog. “I’ve lived in the Alps rescuing avalanche victims.  Then I served my country in Iraq  and now I work part-time reading to the residents in a retirement home.  The couple are amazed by this.  They can’t believe any dog could have done quite so much.  One of them then asks the dog’s owner, “Why on earth would you want to get rid of this amazing dog?”  “Oh, we’re getting rid of him because he’s a liar.  He’s not done any of those things,” says the owner.

**Teacher- “Billy, if there are 5 birds on a fence and you shoot 1, how many birds are left?”  Billy- “None, the others would fly away.”  Teacher- “The answer is 4 but I like the way you think.”  Billy- “I have a question for you Miss.  There are 3 women eating ice cream, 1 licking, 1 biting, and 1 sucking.  Which one is married?”  Teacher nervously answers, “The one sucking.”  Billy- “The answer is the one with the wedding ring on, but I like the way you think.”

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.
