THE KIDS ARE FOND OF US, BUT MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE WE GIVE THEM CANDY. MOST ADULTS DON’T SEEM TO CARE IF WE ARE HERE. SOMETIMES PEOPLE THROW ROCKS OR SPIT AT US BUT THAT’S NOT TOO OFTEN.

MILDRED, THE CHURCH GOSSIP, AND SELF APPOINTED MONITOR OF THE CHURCHES MORALS, KEPT STICKING HER NOSE INTO OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. SEVERAL MEMBERS DID NOT APPROVE OF HER EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, BUT FEARED HER ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THEIR SILENCE.

SHE MADE A MISTAKE, HOWEVER, WHEN SHE ACCUSED GEORGE, A NEW MEMBER, OF BEING AN ALCOHOLIC, AFTER SHE SAW HIS OLD PICKUP PARKED IN FRONT OF THE TOWN’S ONLY BAR ONE AFTERNOON.

SHE TOLD GEORGE AND SEVERAL OTHERS THAT EVERYONE SEEING IT THERE WOULD KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. GEORGE, A MAN OF FEW WORDS, STARED AT HER FOR A MOMENT AND JUST TURNED AWAY. HE DIDN’T EXPLAIN, DEDEND, OR DENY; HE SAID NOTHING.

LATER THAT EVENING, GEORGE QUIETLY PARKED HIS PICKUP IN FRONT OF MILDREDS HOUSE. . .WALKED HOME. . .AND LEFT IT THERE ALL NIGHT.

DON’T YA JUST LOVE OL’ GEORGE!

DEAR TIDE COMPANY,
I AM WRITING TO SAY WHAT AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT YOU HAVE! MY MOM ALWAYS SAID IT WAS THE BEST. IN FACT, ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I SPILLED SOME RED WINE ON MY NEW WHITE BLOUSE. AS USUAL, MY HUSBAND STARTED YELLING AT ME ABOUT HOW CLUMSY I WAS, ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER AND SOMEHOW I ENDED UP WITH A LOT OF HIS BLOOD ON MY WHITE BLOUSE.

YOUR PRODUCT, LIQUID TIDE, WITH BLEACH ALTERNATIVE, TOOK THE STAINS OUT SO WELL THAT THE DNA TESTING ON MY BOUSE WERE NEGATIVE AND I WAS NO LONGER A SUSPECT IN MY HUSBANDS DISAPPEARANCE. WHAT A RELIEF!! MUST CLOSE NOW, I HAVE TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE HEFTY BAG COMPANY. YOUR FAITHFUL CONSUMER,

YE OLDE FASHIONED CHRISTMAS

THANKS TO GRANVILLE’S ACTIVITY DIRECTOR, MERRY GREEN AND GRANVILLE’S CITY AUDITOR, NANCY MUELLER AND ALL THOSE WHO DONATED THEIR TIME AND WARES, THE OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!

THE BAKE SALE BROUGHT IN $462.50, PICTURES-$145.56 AND COFFEE AND COOKIES- $72.50. ALL PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

CLAUS, FOR HER HELP AND ALSO DEVON GOTVASLEE AND MATTHEW KROUT FOR BEING SANTA’S ELVES.

DID YOU EVER WONDER?

  ISN’T MAKING A SMOKING SECTION IN A RESTAURANT LIKE MAKING A PEEING SECTION IN A SWIMMING POOL?

  IF 4 OUT OF 5 PEOPLE SUFFER FROM DIARRHEA. . .DOES THAT MEAN THAT ONE PERSON ENJOYS IT?

  DO INFANTS ENJOY INFANCY AS MUCH AS ADULTS ENJOY ADULTRY?

  IF A PIG LOSES ITS VOICE, IS IT DISGRUNTLED?

  WHY DO CROUTONS COME IN AIRTIGHT PACKAGES? AREN’T THEY JUST STALE BREAD TO BEGIN WITH?

  WHY IS A PERSON WHO PLAYS THE PIANO CALLED A PIANIST BUT A PERSON WHO DRIVES A RACECAR IS NOT CALLED A RACEST?

  WHY ISN’T THE NUMBER 11 PRONOUNCED ONETY ONE?

  IF LAWYERS ARE DISBARRED AND CLERGYMEN DEFROCKED, DOESN’T IT FOLLOW THAT ELECTRICIANS CAN BE DELIGHTED, MUSICIANS DENOTED, COWBOYS DERANGED, MODELS DEPOSED, TREE SURGEONS DEBARKED AND DRY CLEANERS DEPRESSED.

IF FED EX AND UPS WERE TO MERGE, WOULD THEY CALL IT FED UP?

IF A COW LAUGHED, WOULD MILK COME OUT OF HER NOSE?

EVER WONDER WHAT THE SPEED OF LIGHTENING WOULD BE IF IT DIDN’T ZIGZAG?

IF MOTHERS OVER HERE FEED THEIR BABIES WITH LITTLE TINY SPOONS, DO CHINESE MOTHERS USE TOOTH PICKS?

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PREPARATIONS A THROUGH G?

AS INCOME TAX TIME APPROACHES, DID YOU EVER NOTICE: WHEN YOU PUT THE TWO WORDS “THE” AND “IRS” TOGETHER THEY SPELL “THEIRS”?
