**An old lady offers the bus driver some peanuts….so the driver happily munches them.  Every 5 minutes she gives him a handful more peanuts…Driver: Why don’t you eat them yourself?  Old lady: I can’t chew.   Look, I have no teeth…Driver: Then why do you buy them?  Old lady: “Oh, I just love the chocolates around them.”

We had a rather large sale today. The market was generally lower with a limited demand on average and poor grade alfalfa and grass and a big demand for the better grade of alfalfa and grass.

**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?”

** 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.”

The sale today brought descent buyer attendance.  Alfalfa quality varied tremendously with the price being generally steady. Quality of grass was descent, selling steady to weak, and cornstalks sold lower than last week.

**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?”

Today’s sale brought a light test being short on buyers.  The market was also weaker do to people stil digging out.  If you are no longer receiving our newsletter via email, please check your spam folder. We are working to try to resolve this issue.

** 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?”
