Willow ptarmigan so white
Forget-me-not please

Alabama – A Haiku
Yellow-hammer state
Pecan the official nut
Longleaf pine the tree
2013 Albert Moyer, Jr.
A man goes into a bar with his dog. He goes up to the bar and asks for a drink.
The bartender says “You can’t bring that dog in here!” The guy, without missing a beat, says “This is my seeing-eye dog.”
“Oh man,” the bartender says, “I’m sorry, here, the first one’s on me.” The man takes his drink and goes to a table near the door.
Another guy walks into the bar with a Chihuahua. The first guys sees him, stops him and says “You can’t bring that dog in here unless you tell him it’s a seeing-eye dog.”
The second man graciously thanks the first man and continues to the bar. He asks for a drink. The bartender says “Hey, you can’t bring that dog in here!”
The second man replies “This is my seeing-eye dog.” The bartender says, “No, I don’t think so. They do not have Chihuahuas as seeing-eye dogs.”
The man pauses for a half-second and replies “What??! They gave me a Chihuahua??!”
Eat Nuts, Live Longer

I have long been a fan of nuts. I love them in breads, cereal, salads, or just to snack. Some say they cost too much, but I say,”They are a lot cheaper than prescription drugs.” So eat more nuts!

Who is this person?

We all come upon interesting facts daily. Sometimes, it surprises us when we figure out who the facts belong too. This person missed more than 9,000 shots in his career. He lost over 300 games. 26 times he was asked to take the winning shot, but missed. He has failed over and over again in his life, and that is why he succeeded. His name is Michael Jordan. The moral of the story, never give up.

Elliptigo

I am always amazed at what people can think up when it comes to technology, and it is not always electronic. This morning on my way to work, I noticed a man peddling his bike while standing up the whole time. I did some research and found the bike. It is called an Elliptigo. This gives runners and bikers a whole new option for exercise.

My preacher told this joke in church today and I thought it was worthy of posting. Enjoy and laugh!
There was a pilot who knew his plane was going down so he left his cockpit seat for a parachute. He told the others,”There are four parachutes and five of you. You guys will have to figure out who get’s them. See ya!” He jumps.
So the doctor says,”I save and heal people, so I need a parachute.” He takes his chute and jumps.
The lawyer says,”I advise people, so I need a parachute.” He takes his chute and jumps.
The Harvard Graduate Students says,”I am the smartest one on the plane, so I need a parachute.” He takes his chute and jumps.
Finally, the old man says,”Young man, I have lived my life right, I have faith, and I know where I am going. You take the last chute since your only 16 and live life.”
The 16-year-old says,”There is not need for you to die sir. There are chutes for both of us.”
The old man says,”Well, how did that happen?”
The 16-year-old boy says,”The Harvard graduate student jumped out of the plane with my backpack.”
