Robert had graduated from the University of Phoenix (On Line) with a degree in pest control and a master’s in rodent eradication. He hadn’t minded being called “Bob” (not your uncle) while in school, but thought that now that he was successful in the rodent control business, he should be a accorded a little more dignity and be called Robert . . . .

Jordan kept telling her boyfriend that she heard quite a lot of noise in the back of the truck; he blew her off and said, “It’s probably just loose tools or empty beer cans–don’t worry.” And then one day he checked and was pretty sure he found the cause of the noise . . . . David, Sf.G.
Out of kindness, Jimmie, the host of the summer’s end party, invited Vinnie, notorious for his bad jokes, with the promise Vinnie would keep quiet and tell no jokes. After a few beers and a couple of shots of Grey Goose and being rebuffed by several chicks he hit on, Vinnie was not to be denied. Clad only in his Speedo, Vinnie began his repertoire; as expected, the other guests couldn’t take flight fast enough, leaving Vinnie in his Speedo telling jokes to a tallow-wood tree. . . . .

Since pizza, chocolate and beer ( the three essential food groups) were not often available for Simon (pictured), he felt he was entitled to the best grass–and yes, it was always on the other side of the fence. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Upside Down
When young Lester got home from school one day he heard his father sounding somewhat hysterical and asked why. His father said, ” I got downsized today, lost my pension, and the bank is going to repo the house; my whole world is upside down.” Young Lester said, “I know what you mean; I sometimes feel that way; let me show you”. . . . .
