Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
````````````````````````````

Always Be Prepared
Seen on a marquee outside the Clinton Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in Dannemora, New York: The Dannemora fire department reminds you it’s fire prevention week. Practice your escape plan.”

````````````````````````

Driving in the Middle
A policeman looked up to see a woman racing down the center of the road at 100 m.p.h. He pulled her over and said, “Hey, lady, would you mind telling me why you’re going so fast down the middle of the road?”

“Oh, it’s okay, Officer,” she replied. “I have a special license that allows me to drive like that.”

“Oh, yeah?” Let’s see it.” The cop looked at the license and then concluded, “Ma’am, there’s nothing special about this. It’s just a temporary license.”

“Look at the very bottom, though,” the woman insisted. “See? It says ‘Tear along the dotted line.'”

``````````````````````````````````````````

Red Light
I had just pulled over someone for driving under the influence when another car pulled up behind us. I stopped what I was doing and ventured back to see if the driver needed assistance.

“No, I don’t need any help,” he said, reeking of booze. Then, pointing to the flashing cherry top on the roof of my cruiser, he continued, “I just stopped for the red light.”

``````````````````````````

A customer pulled up to my drive-through window at the fast-food restaurant where I work and requested something from the lunch menu.

"I’m sorry, but it’s 10:15," I told her. "We’re only serving breakfast now."

After thinking it over, she asked, "Do you have anything on your breakfast menu that tastes like lunch?"

`````````````````````````````

A customer walked into our store looking for Christmas lights. I showed her our top brand, but—wanting to make sure each bulb worked—she asked me to take them out of the box and plug them in. I did, and each one lit up.

"Great," she said.

I carefully placed the string of lights back in the box. But as I handed them to her, she looked alarmed.

"I don’t want this box," she said abruptly. "It’s been opened."

``````````````````````````

Overseas Help
Days after we invaded Marja, Afghanistan, one of my Marines found out his wife hadn’t paid the cell phone bill. He called the company and asked how he could settle up.

"You can go to Western Union and place a money order," the billing agent told him.

"Ma’am, I’m in Marja, Afghanistan," he explained. "We don’t have Western Unions."

"No problem. You can also go to Walmart."

```````````````````````````

One woman raved about the rides at our water park, but she did have a valid complaint: "The water in the wave pool tastes horrible!"

```````````````````````````````

Scene: A gas station in Canada

Customer: Excuse me. Why won’t my debit card work on the pump?
Owner: Are you using an American card?
Customer: Yes.
Owner: American cards don’t work at the pump.
Customer: You should put up a sign.
Owner: We did, above the card slot.
Customer: Oh. Well, I don’t read Canadian.

``````````````````````````

I was delivering pizzas when I fell hard onto the sidewalk. Seeing me sprawled on the ground, my concerned customer yelled, "Oh, no! The pizzas!"

``````````````````````````

As a salesperson, I do a lot of business over the phone. One man who called to place an order had a nice voice, so when he asked if I wanted his number, I took the opportunity to offer mine as well.

"Um," he stammered, "I was talking about my purchase-order number."

`````````````````````````

The waitress was refilling cups of coffee when she stopped at the table next to ours. "Regular?" she asked her customer.

"Yes, thank you," said the man. "Due to a steady diet of fruit."

```````````````````````

Tales From the Bookstore
A woman stopped by our customer-service desk and asked me for a copy of the book that has Jesus in it. After much back-and-forth, I determined that she wanted the Bible.

After searching for a particular book on dinosaurs in the science section without luck, a customer looked to me for help. She showed me a piece of paper with the title written on it: Thesaurus.

```````````````````````````````

While we were working at a men’s clothing store, a customer asked my coworker to help her pick out a tie that would make her husband’s blue eyes stand out.

"Ma’am," he explained, "any tie will make blue eyes stand out if you tie it tight enough.

````````````````````````````````

It's Thursday night here, and tomorrow is another work day for me. Then, it's singing practice when I get home. smile

Hope everyone has a terrific Friday. summer

That's great joe! You will love it I'm sure!

Venus, enjoy your practice!

Hiking is in the agenda for me today. My arms got quite a workout yesterday kayaking the Rapids. Such fun though!

Have a happy day all!

Good morning everyone, have a Great TGIF. I'll be getting ready for my weekend trip today. Of course the house phone went out, and my WIFI is acting up. Robert will be here for the phone man on Saturday, and cable will be here Monday. Danish, BB Pancakes, and Bacon Sandwiches in the NC. summer

Good morning all. Thanks Connie for the BB pancakes. I never get tired of having them for breakfast.

I have another split shift today. It gets tiring to work 6 hours a day. My next day off is next Wednesday. I'm not complaining though. I have a job, and a lot of people don't have one. OK, I'll see you this afternoon. Have a great day everyone.

Just do it.

Happy Almost Retirement Joe! I can still remember that first morning after I retired that I didn't have to go to work. What a great day. Hope your retirement goes swimmingly. joy

Still on the look out for that duo of thieves. More and more stories of at least the one are getting back to me. This is so not good. I'm going to check my neighbor's back lot today. She has lots of people tromping through there taking a short cut to places. They use her yard and mine to jump over fences, etc. I'm going to see if there is any more drug stuff down there. They seem to leave stuff, along with alcohol bottles/cans and all that. Been a problem since I moved here 37 years ago. Always something.

Gotta get the word out about our thief. I'm on the look out every second now. Checking all sheds and esp the windows for signs of disturbance. Scary that my neighbor who lost that compressor yesterday, also found his back bedroom window broken! Now that's boarded up and we are all waiting for the 'next' time. Some of the neighbors are recommending catching the guy and having a little 'rough justice'. Ohhhhh!

In better news: The police caught the serial killer yesterday afternoon. I was right, he was headed for MY city. They caught him right where I go to buy my El Pollo Logo every few days. Ohhhhh. AND it turns out, he was born here. Yup. AND he had just gotten out of 4 years of prison for 'setting a transient buddy on fire' just a few blocks South. I remember that case now. He's the same guy. Gotta have more than one screw loose. 2 dead, 2 gonna die, and 2 really injured is the count that the 'know' of. Glad he's locked up for now.

Off to patrol...


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.
