**Several men were in the locker room of the gym when a cell phone on a bench rang and a man put it on speaker and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stopped to listen. Man: “ Hello!” Woman: “Hi Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?” Man: “Yes.” Woman: “I’m at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only $2,000; is it ok if I buy it?” Man: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.” Woman: “I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked.” Man: “How much?” Woman: “$90,000.” Man: “Ok, but for that price I want it with all the options.” Woman: “Great! Oh, and one more thing. I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking $980,000 for it.” Man: “Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They’ll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it’s what you really want.” Woman: “Ok. I’ll see you later! I love you so much!” Man: “I love you too.” The man hung up. The other men in the locker room were staring at him in astonishment, mouths open wide. He turned and asked, “ Anyone know whose phone this is?”

The market was lower for today’s sale, with not a lot of buyer interest, and the quality of hay was average at best.
** A Valentine’s Story: A high school English teacher was noted for being a fair but hard grader. One day Mike received a B- on a theme paper. In hopes of bettering the grade and in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Mike sent her a heart shaped box of chocolates with the inscription, “Be Mine.” The following day Mike received a Valentine from the teacher. It read, “Thank you, but it’s still Be Mine-Us.”

**A couple were having marital problems. They decided together to do the right thing and they contacted a marriage guidance counselor. Several visits followed when lots of questions were asked and lots of listening carried out. Eventually the counselor felt that he had discovered the main problem. He stood up, went over to the woman and asking her to stand up he gave her a huge cuddle. He turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs, at least once every day.” The husband frowned, considered what had been said for a moment, then replied, “Ok, what time do you want me to bring her back tomorrow?”

** A blonde driving a car became lost in a snowstorm. She didn’t panic however, because she remembered what her dad had once told her. “If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it.” Sure enough, pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty-five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. And she explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in a snowstorm, to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, “Well, I’m done with the Walmart parking lot, do you want to follow me over to Best Buy now?”

** The Indians asked their Chief in Autumn if the Winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing an answer, the chief replies that the Winter was going to be cold with lots of snow and that the members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared. Being a good leader, he then went to the next phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, “Is this winter to be cold?” The man on the phone responded, “This Winter is going to be quite cold indeed.” So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, “Is it going to be a very cold winter?” “Yes,” the man replied, “It’s going to be a very cold winter.” So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again: “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?” “Absolutely,” the man replies, “The Indians are collecting wood like crazy!”
