Happy Valentine's Day!

Market was a little lower today- more so on the grass than the alfalfa. There was good buyer interest. Grass was good quality and alfalfa was decent.

So I’m at Wal-Mart buying a bag of dog food for my dog. While in the check-out line, the woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Now, why else would I be buying dog food, right? So, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn’t have a dog. I was starting the Dog Food Diet again, even though I probably shouldn’t because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and all you do is load your pockets with food nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled by my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle’s butt and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard!

A blonde goes into a coffee shop and notices that there is a ‘peel and win’ sticker on her coffee cup. She peels it off and starts screaming, “I won a motorhome! I won a motorhome!”

The waitress says, “That’s impossible. The biggest prize is a free lunch.”

But the blonde kept screaming, “I won a motorhome!”

Finally the manager comes over and says, “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but you’re mistaken. You couldn’t  have possibly won a motorhome because we didn’t have that as a prize.”

The blonde says, “No, it’s not a mistake. I’ve won a motorhome!*

She hands him the ticket and he reads... - W I N A B A G E L.

“Hello, is this the Sheriff’s office?” “Yes, what can we do for you?” “I’m calling to report my neighbor Virgil Smith – he’s hiding marijuana inside his firewood. I don’t quite know how he gets it in the logs, but he’s hiding it there.” “Thank you very much for the call sir.” The next day the Sheriff’s deputies descend on Virgil’s house. They searched the shed where he kept the firewood. Using axes, they bust open ever piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneered at Virgil, and they left. Shortly after, the phone rings at Virgil’s house. “Hey Virgil, this is Floyd. Did the Sheriff come?” “Yeah!” “Did they chop your firewood for the winter?” “Yep, they sure did!” “Happy Birthday, buddy!”

An elderly patient got hearing aids from the doctor, and after a month goes back to see the doctor again.

Doctor: Your hearing is fine now. Your family must be really pleased.

Patient: Funny story now that you should mention my family. I haven’t told them yet. I just sit and listen to their conversations. In the past month, I have changed my will 3 times.

A pharmacist walks into his shop to find a man leaning against the wall. “What’s wrong with him?” he asks his assistant. “He came in for some cough syrup,” the assistant explains, “but I couldn’t find any, so I sold him a bottle of laxatives instead.” “What?!” the pharmacist said, horrified. “You can’t treat a cough with laxatives!” “Sure you can!” the assistant declares. “Look at him- he’s far too scared to cough”
