Two good old boys from Newfoundland decide to do some fishing. They go down to the dock and rent a dory. They paddle out into the Atlantic, cast their lines and begin catching fish after fish. “By” says one of them, “Mark this spot sos we can come back and catch more fish!” “ No problem” says his bud. After they land and return the dory, the first guy asks: ”So did you mark the spot?”
“Yah, by, I painted an X on the bottom of the boat.”“Ya dumb Newfie” says the first guy “How djy’a know we’ll get the same boat next time?”

If you recall Band of Brothers, when Easy Company liberated the concentration camp, they were admonished that feeding the starved inmates had to be done carefully.

The Baptist preacher just finished his sermon for last Sunday's worship service. He proceeded toward the back of the church for his usual greetings and handshaking as the congregation began to file out of the little Louisiana Southern Baptist Church.
After shaking a few adult hands, he came upon the seven year old son of one of the Deacons of the church. "Good morning, T-Boud," the preacher said as he reached out to shake his Cajun cousin Boudreaux's young son's hand. As he was doing so, he felt something in the palm of T-Boudreaux's hand. "What's dis?" the preacher asked.
"Money," said T-Boud with a great big smile on his face, "It's for you!"
"I don't want to take your money," the preacher answered.
"I want you to have it," said little Boudreaux. After a short pause he continued, "My daddy says you is da poorest preacher we ever had and I wants to help you."

Mayo-pesto sauce
i like pesto, often make it myself. I end up with far more than I can use. Yes, I know I can freeze it. Anyway, I figured I’d try a variation.
this recipe uses a mix of mayonnaise, pesto, mustard, and lemon juice in the ratio of 8:4:2:1, mix, let flavors marry overnight in the fridge, use. I’d use it on some pastas, roasted potatoes, other places that I’d dress with pesto.
I’ve made Mayo, pesto, and mustard but for this I’m using everything store bought.

March 1942, Captain James L. Neefus returning to his dugout quarters on Midway. Flying a Brewster Buffalo and leading a 3 plane Section had just returned from shooting down a Japanese “Mavis” amphibious patrol bomber. The first known shoot down of a Japanese aircraft by a U.S. Marine in WW2 for which Admiral Nimitz awarded him the Navy Cross. He earned his wings in 1936, retired in June, 1962 after 14 years as a full colonel, a rank achieved in August, 1950 while CAG 23 for the Inchon Landing.

PayPal let some guy take $14 from my account. I no longer leave a card active there. A bank would give me the $14 but PayPal is not a bank and said that IF they recovered the money they’d return it to me.

The first time I went to Mule Camp, I was staying in a hotel in Oakwood, which is a little town a few miles south of Gainesville. Mule Camp was still at Cherokee which is in Gainesville at the time. I think it was 2000. Anyway, I'm in my room and I hear this siren going off and it's going on and on and on. And I'm wondering what's that all about. Later someone comes and knocks on my door. They wanted to know if I was all right, because I had not come to the lobby. Why, I asked, should I have come to the lobby? Didn't I hear the tornado siren??
The what?
Couple years ago I was watching this show called Bull. That's where Tony went when he quit NCIS. And they're in a courthouse in Texas, and the tornado sirens went off, so everybody went down in the basement.
There's an online story, and they are campaigning in a little town in Oklahoma, and the tornado sirens go off, and they all went down in the basement.
Apparently tornado sirens is a thing everywhere. Except here. Before that Mule Camp trip, I not only never heard any before, I had never heard of any before.
We have tornadoes occasionally. But we don't have tornado sirens.
Is Florida the only place that don't have them?
New England does not have them. Ages ago it was believed they never came here. There was a suspected twister in Worcester but it was never believed or confirmed. Many years later another one happened and weather science had advanced a tad so they could look at the evidence and conclude that, yes, it was a tornado. They are more rare than getting hit by lightning.

In the bad old days, though these days may be worse, there were concerns of the Soviet Union rolling across the Fulda gap with a mass armor / troop attack. There were purportedly U.S. teams with tac, man portable nukes to stop it if nothing else worked. Basically kamikaze. Despite the raving of the left, Russia is a pale shadow of those days.
Not just the man portables.

Story from the internet.
Years ago, as a police officer in small town Wisconsin, I was checking business doorknobs late at night. Walked up to the one and only funeral home, turned the knob….door unlocked. Damn! Summoned my partner (checking doors across the street) and in we go.
No idea where the light switches were and our simple plan was to step in, turn around and leave, locking the door on the way out…….indeed, we would have requisitely “checked” the place. Right? Nope.
As we turned to leave, we heard a crashing sound behind us. Playing our flashlights about, we found the business’ cash box laying on the floor in the office. Just then, we heard sounds coming from downstairs where the casket showroom and embalming room (behind closed doors) were to be found.
Huddled together, my partner and I descended the stairs only to have our flashlights show a casket lid closing across the room! We hatched a scheme whereby I would stand behind the casket, reach over it, pull the cover open and my partner —- standing in front of it —- would then arrest the clumsy cashbox thief. Nervous as we both could be in the darkened room, I pulled open the lid and the perp leaped out of the casket like a jack-in-the-box! Partner dropped his flashlight and revolver, and the casket occupant blew by me, up the stairs, out the door —— never to be caught!
Needless to write, much more circumspect checking that particular doorknob, again
