The farmer's method for administering the prescription was to insert an aluminum tube into the cow's rear and blow the suppository in. One day the farmer was too sick to attend his cow, so he asked his hired hand to take care of the cow. The hired hand took the tube, and turned it around! Then blew the supository into the cow. The farmer's wife, who was standing nearby watching, asked the hired hand why he had turned the tube in the cow's rear around. He exclaimed "What! From the farmer's mouth into mine!" ___________________________________________________ Titanite ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ In my husband's work for a cable-television company, he encounters illegal hookups that drive up costs for other customers. One day he arrived at a repair job just as the homeowner was pulling into the driveway. She pointed the way to the den, where the tv was located, and then walked out to get the mail. As my husband approached the tv, he saw a note taped to the screen. It read: "Don't forget to hide the descramblers before the cable guy comes. Love, Tom." ____________________________________________________ >From Cathy Part of my job as a public-health nurse is teaching new parents how to care for their infants. As I was demonstrating how to wrap a newborn, a young Asian couple turned to me and said, "You mean we should wrap the baby like an egg roll?" Yes, I replied, that was a good analogy. "I don't know how to make egg rolls," another mother said anxiously. "Can I wrap my baby like a burrito?" ____________________________________________________ The banker saw his old friend Tom, an 80-year old rancher, in town. Tom had lost his wife a year or so before and rumor had it that he was marrying a 'mail order' bride. Being a good friend, the banker asked Tom if the rumor was true. Tom assured him that it was. The banker then asked Tom the age of his new bride to be. Tom proudly said, 'She'll be 21 in November.' Now the banker, being the wise man that he was, could see that the sexual appetite of a young woman could not be satisfied by an 80-year-old man. Wanting his old friend's remaining years to be happy, the banker tactfully suggested that Tom should consider getting a hired hand to help him out on the ranch, knowing nature would take its own course. Tom thought this was a good idea and said he would look for one that afternoon.. About four months later, the banker ran into Tom in town again.. 'How's the new wife?', asked the banker. Tom proudly said, 'Good - she's pregnant.' The banker, happy that his sage advice had worked out, continued, 'And how's the hired hand?' 'She's pregnant too.' ____________________________________________________ A salesman is talking to a farmer when he looks over and sees a rooster wearing pants, a shirt, and suspenders.He says, "What on earth is that all about?" The farmer says, "We had a fire in the chicken coop two months ago and all his feathers got singed off, so the wife made him some clothes to keep him warm." "Okay, but that was two months ago. Why does he still wear them?" The farmer replied, "There ain't nothing funnier than watching him try to hold down a hen with one foot and get his pants down with the other." ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Rosa RE: Gold conductor Dear Webby I see gold is used for the more expensive audio connectors and for electronic circuit boards. Would that not indicate it is a better conductor than copper? Rosa Dear Rosa The currents involved in electronics are so low that connectivity makes no difference. Extremely thin gold plating is used because it never oxidizes and never changes. The gold plating is much thinner than any paint. The actual conduction of the electricity is done by the copper under the plating. In addition to that, gold costs over $1200 per 12 gram gold ounce, whereas copper is around $5/lb. Have FUN!
