Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School. "Well Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge, and all the people walked across safely. He used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters and call in an air strike. They sent in bombers to blow up the bridge, and all the Israelites were saved." "Now, Joey,” said his mom, “is that really what your teacher taught you?" "Well, no, Mom, but if I told it the way the teacher did, you’d never believe it."

A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while a tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years. And you tell me to exercise? I don't think so. Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Little Known Fact The Belmont Stakes horse race was first run on June 19, 1867, at the Jerome Park Racecourse. A filly, Ruthless, won the first Belmont's $1,850 winner's purse. The race has been run ever since, with the exception of 1911 and 1912, and the Belmont has established itself as the ultimate test of championship stamina in this country.

She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting.." Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep. A few moments later she said: "Then you used to kiss me.." Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep. Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my Neck..." Angrily, he threw back the sheets and got out of bed. "Where are you going?" she asked. "To get my teeth!"

One day a man strolled in to the paint section of a hardware store and walked up to the assistant. "I'd like a pint of canary colored paint," he says.

Yen-Chang Chen, D.M.D.

"Sure" the clerk replies. "Mind if I ask what it's for?" "My parakeet, "the man said. "See, I want to enter him in a canary contest. He sings so beautifully he is sure to win." "Well, you can't do that!" the assistant says. "The chemicals in the paint will surely kill the poor thing!" "No they won't," says the customer. "Listen, buddy, I'll bet you twenty bucks your parakeet dies if you try to paint him."

"Indirectly, He seemed to handle the paint okay, but I think the sanding between coats did him in." Uncle Andy’s Digest ...withravis &T Jimbo

Two old men had been best friends for years, and they both live to their early 90's, when one of them suddenly falls deathly ill. His friend comes to visit him on his deathbed, and they're reminiscing about their long friendship, when the dying man's friend asks, "Listen, when you die, do me a favor. I want to know if there's baseball in heaven." The dying man said, "We've been friends for years, this I'll do for you." And then he dies. A couple days later, his surviving friend is sleeping when he hears his friend's voice.

Out ’n About with the Class of 1972 from ELHS

Best way to get rid of kitchen odors: Eat out. – Phyllis Diller

At Poland Spring Inn for a fun weekend of golf, dancing & good memories.

Uncle Andy, I could beat you in a round of golf using this cane as my only golf club.

Uncle Andy’s classmates were tired of hearing his self-proclamation about his great golf game. Steve single-handedly trounced Andy Marsh in their golf match. You can see the classmates cheering in the background. Uncle Andy was speechless for maybe 5 minutes. A new record.

Each unit on the Richter Scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times larger than a preceding number and an energy release factor of 31.6. An earthquake measuring 6 on the Richter Scale is almost 32 times more powerful than a 5.2 is the smallest that can be felt unaided. Though the scale goes to 10, 9 is estimated to be the point of total tectonic destruction. Uncle Andy’s Digest ...withravis &T Jimbo

I have got two reasons for success and I'm standing on both of them. – Betty Grable

Mariah is a 32 year old mother of three and is the ower/operator of Mariah's Massage Therapy located at 81 Main Street, Suite 104 in Auburn. She graduated from New Hampshire Institute of Therapeutic Arts in 2009. Since graduation Mariah has been working with a great group of mentally handicapped adults. She provides low cost massages to them so that they may enjoy the benefits of massage. “I must say working with this great bunch of people has been the most rewarding part of my career,” she told UAD. Wanting to expand her client base, she opened an office in Auburn. Mariah made a pledge to improve the quality of life to as many people as she can. We asked her how she planned to do that. She said, “I accept insurance, have a prepaid program, a referral program, and a fixed income discount plan so that many may enjoy massage. My motto is to provide low cost massage so that it's no longer a luxury but a convenience.” Call Mariah White today at 299-0534 to see what a massage can do for you. See her ad on page 46.

They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise. "Jeeez. That is REALLY deep... here, throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise." They pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait. Nothing. They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, "Hey...over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it's GOTTA make some noise."

nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as it's legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole. The two men are astonished with what they've just seen. Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over. "Hey, you two guys seen my goat out here?" "You bet we did! Craziest thing I ever saw. It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!" "Nah", says the farmer, "That couldn't have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie."

Not all of West Virginia voted to go with the North. When the State of West Virginia was formed from Virginia in 1863 the three western counties in Virginia voted to go with West Virginia, but West Virginia didn't take them because they were poor. Instead they took three counties that voted to stay with Virginia, because they were richer and they had the B&O railroad. Those counties since split and are 5 Jefferson, Hampshire, Berkley, Mineral, and Morgan. All the dirt from the foundation to build the World Trade Center in NYC was dumped into the Hudson River to form the community now known as Battery City Park.

Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me... I know we've been friends for a long time but I just can't think of your name.. I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"

Say What?

Camel's milk does not curdle.

Submitted by Tom Hill

There was an elderly man visiting a doctor for his check-up. As he was leaving he asked the doctor if he could recommend a specialist for his wife. "What's wrong with her?" asked the doctor. The old man explained that her hearing was getting so bad that it was almost embarrassing. The doctor said he knew of several specialists that could help but he wanted the old man to do a little test when he got home to help the doctor determine the severity of her hearing loss. The doctor said, "When you get home, make sure your wife's back is turned to you and ask her a question. If she doesn't respond walk closer and ask her again. Keep doing this until she answers and let me know the results." That night when the old man opened the door of his home he could see his wife in the kitchen preparing dinner. She was at the counter with her back to the door. "What's for dinner?" the old man asked. His wife did not respond so he walks to the doorway of the kitchen and asked the (continued on next page)

The Border

If ignorance is bliss, then I must be the happiest thingamajig in the whatchamacallit!

Submitted by Tom Hill

A customs officer at the Mexican border noticed a man coming across one day on a bicycle with two small sacks tied to the handlebars. He naturally got suspicious and asked him to open the sacks, but when he did he found nothing but sand. This went on every day for the nest month. Each time he'd stop the bicycle and open the sacks, and he'd find only sand. A few years later, he ran into the biker in a restaurant in Tijuana. After some small talk he said, "Come on. I know you were smuggling something all that time. I won't tell. I'm just curious. What was it?" The other man said, "Bicycles."

One day three golfers were playing a round of golf. They were on the ninth hole near the highway getting ready to tee off. One of the golfers had his club in mid swing when he noticed a funeral procession coming up the highway. He lowered his club and took off his hat as he stood there reverently waiting for it to pass. The other two golfers followed suit and all three stood quietly until the last car was out of sight. The first golfer then made a beautiful drive right down the middle of the fairway. "You know Jack?" One of the other golfers said. "That was really nice the way you waited for that funeral procession to pass." Well I felt it was the least I could do." Jack responded. "After all she did give me 30 of the best years of her life."

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage. “Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom on the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled. My wife quietly said, 'That's once.' We proceeded a little further and the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's twice.' We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her pocket and shot the mule dead. I started to yell at her for her treatment of the mule when she looked at me and quietly said, 'That's once.” Enjoy the 21st annual Great Falls Balloon Festival August 16-18, 2013 Lewiston-Auburn

Liberty Bell Fact In 1835, while tolling the death of Chief Justice John Marshall, the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, cracked. Trivia buffs: The Bell is made of 70% copper, 25% tin and small amounts of lead, zinc, arsenic, gold and silver, and it weighs around 2,080 lbs. and measures 12 ft. in circumference around the lip and 3 ft. from lip to crown. "You cannot convince someone to see something that they do not want to see, no matter how much you know it would improve their lives. You have to love and accept them exactly as they are today. If you cannot do that, you have to let them go and find their own way, in their own time, if they ever choose to do so. Otherwise, you'll be giving them the power over your happiness, too." – Doe Zantamata In 1787, the U.S. Constitution was completed and signed by delegates from 12 states attending the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the sidewalk, and stopped inches from a shop window. For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look man, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!"

An albatross can sleep while it flies. It apparently dozes while cruising at 25 mph.

I took my son to his first Major League baseball game when he was four. The game was delayed, so we spent our time talking and eating everything the concession had to offer: Hot dogs, pretzels, nachos, pizza, soda, peanuts, ice cream, and cotton candy. About a year later, I asked my son if he'd like to go to another game. He thought about it for a moment and then replied, "No, thanks, Dad. I'm really not that hungry."

Flush It Submitted by Jimbo

The showers in my daughter's dorm turned scalding hot whenever a toilet was flushed. To warn others, residents would yell out, "Flushing!" each time they flushed the toilets. During one of my daughter's visits home, a friend stopped by to chat for a while. I was explaining how my daughter was acting more distant now that she was in college, and that she didn't tell me all about her life the way she used to.

Down in the south, there are many churches known as "answer back" churches. When the preacher says something, the congregation naturally replies. One Sunday, a preacher was speaking on what it would take for the church to become better. He said "If this church is to become better, it must take up it's bed, and walk." The congregation said "Let it walk, Preacher, let it walk."

Encouraged by their response, he went further. "If this church is going to become better, it will have to throw aside it's hindrances and run!"

"If this church really wants to become great, it will have to take up it's wings and fly!" "Let it fly, Preacher, let it fly!" the congregation shouts. The Preacher gets louder.

“My doctor tells me I can’t play golf man!”, “Oh, So he’s played with you, too.”

This is a game played by two teams, one out the other in. The one that's in, sends players out one at a time, to see if they can get in before they get out. If they get out before they get in, they come in, but it doesn't count. If they get in before they get out it does count. When the ones out get three outs from the ones in before they get in without being out, the team that's out comes in and the team in goes out to get those going in out before they get in without being out. When both teams have been in and out nine times the game is over. The team with the most in without being out before coming in wins unless the ones in are equal. In which case, the last ones in go out to get the ones in out before they get in without being out. The game will end when each team has the same number of ins out but one team has more in without being out before coming in. Uncle Andy’s Digest ...withravis &T Jimbo

Out ’n About with Miami Mike

It’s already August Uncle Andy’s Digesters! That means the downhill journey to the end of the summer has begun. In the blink of an eye, the flutter of a butterfly’s wings, you will be school shopping with the kids dealing with 5 alarm meltdowns in the middle of the store because little Johnny and tiny Tina don’t want to try on the clothes you are preparing to spend a small fortune on, just so they do not look like a couple of ragamuffins for the first week. After the first week the new wardrobe will fit right in with the old. Stains you did not see until you leave the kids at the bus stop alongside a rip or small tear. If you are the parent that does not buy new school cloths for the kids, either because you don’t feel as though it is an adequate usage of time, don’t have the cash flow, or have a mound of hand-medowns that makes Mt. Kilimanjaro look like a foothill, I applaud you. You are the population that has figured it out. If it is relatively clean and covers the kid by at least 87% they are good to go. So rather than spending the time school shopping, do a big load of laundry, find a place with free pens and grab about a dozen while the kids occupy the receptionist then head to the Great Falls Balloon Festival for some great summer fun! The balloon fest is absolutely one of my favorite local events. I can remember many a groggy morning rushing down to great falls plaza to set up the good old Pepsi balloon. I was but a mere boy about the age of 12 and mornings were not where I was at my prime. It was not until many years later when I discovered coffee and was I able to endure the brutal fury of the early A.M. The balloons all ascending swiftly, silently into the air on a foggy morning are strictly amazing. Take some pictures. I know you had aspirations to spruce up the kids room before the end of summer but don’t worry I have you covered on that one too. Wait until you ship the kids back to school and the dust has settled. Then hightail it over to Lewiston Paint & Wallpaper. They will be able to set you up with all the supplies and materials you need to get the kid’s rooms looking presentable again. I am aware you are fond on the Picasso reproduction little Leticia drew on her room wall with nothing but an eight pack of crayons but the folks at Lewiston Paint & Wallpaper will help you create her revitalized canvas that you call her wall. Happy, Safe August Fellow Uncle Andy’s Digesters!

While driving to their new home, the mom was telling the children about the house; it was a big two-story house with lots of room. She told them about the big back yard with a swingset; the playroom, big enough for all their toys; and each child would finally have a room of their own.

2nd Opinion

The movie Wayne's World was filmed in two weeks.

Submitted by Jimbo

A man has not been feeling well and goes to the doctor for a check up. After the physical examination and a battery of blood tests and X-rays, he asks the doctor about his situation. The doctor replies, "You are very sick. You might not live longer than perhaps three or four months." The man, in despair, yet, with a glimpse of hope says, "If you don't mind, doctor, I would like to have a second opinion." "Okay," the doctor answers, "you're ugly, too!"

Bird Fact Baby songbirds seem to learn how to sing from the adult birds of their species, and if they are raised by other species, they don't sing the same as their ancestors. They often make strange warbling noises, but may also learn the songs of other species. In the latter case, they can pass these songs on to their offspring. Uncle Andy’s Digest ...witThravis & Jimbo
