In Green Bay

On TV
I received the following note with two pictures of the stands at a football game.

“This is what ESPN failed to show on Monday night - 11/14/2011!!! Apparently they thought their commercials were more important than showing this scene for about 5 seconds!”

That’s pretty. It’s a shame they did not show it. Many thanks to our military and our veterans. We appreciate your sacrifices!

Joke of the Day

Dear Son,

Your Pa has a new job. The first in 48 years. We are a little better, off now, getting $17.96 every Thursday. So we up and thought we'd do a little fixin’ up. We sent to Searers for one of them there bathrooms you hear so much about and it took a plumber to put it in shape.

On one side of the room is a great big long thing, something like the hogs drink out of, only you get in it and wash all over. Over on the other side is a little white thing called a sink, this is for light washing, like face and hands, but over in the other corner we really got something.

There you put one foot in, wash it clean, pull a chain and get fresh water for the other foot. Two lids come with the darn thing and we ain't had any use for them in the bathroom, so I'm using one for a bread board and the other we framed grandmother's picture in.

They were awful nice people to deal with and they sent us a roll of writing paper with it.

Take care of yourself son.

Your Maw
