Father O’Malley answers the phone: “Hello, is this Father O'Malley?” “It is!'” “This is the IRS. Can you help us?” “I’ll do my best, said Father O’Malley.” “Do you know a Ted Houlihan?” asks the IRS. “I do!” responds Father O’Malley. “Is he a member of your congregation?” “He is!” “Did he donate $10,000 to the church?” asked the IRS agent. “He will,” the Father responds.

The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship. Little Sally led off. “I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30,” she said proudly, “My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success.”

Bull Talk
2014 was the first year in nine years that Pixar did not release a new film.
Submitted by Thomas Hill
Three bulls heard that the rancher was going to bring yet another bull onto the ranch, and the prospect raised a discussion among them. First Bull: "Boys, we all know I've been here 5 years. Once we settled our differences, we agreed on which 100 of the cows would be mine. Now, I don't know where this newcomer is going to get his cows, but I aint' givin' him any of mine." Second Bull: "That pretty much says it for me, too. I've been here 3 years and have earned my right to the 50 cows we've agreed are mine. I'll fight 'im till I run him off or kill 'im, but I'm keeping all my cows." Third Bull: "I've only been here a year, and so far you guys have only let me have 10 cows to take care of. I may not be as big as you fellows (yet) but I am young and virile, so I simply must keep all my cows." They no sooner finished their big talk when an eighteenwheeler pulls up in the middle of the pasture with only one animal in it: the biggest baddest bull these guys had ever seen! At 4,700

Brain Teaser Time The One That Got Away Can you find seven number words hidden in this paragraph? Underline the number words in the phrase at the bottom. Example: the word eight could be hidden inside one word, height, or between two words, like this... We will ride in a sleigh tonight.
Ready... go! Where has the fat worm gone? He was wriggling away from my reel even before I had the hook on it! If I’ve lost him, I’ll be sorry. This evening I came prepared with reel, line and bait hoping to catch plenty of fish. It’s not often that a worm of ours gets away!
Answer is on page 34. But at least give it a shot first!

pounds, each step he took toward the ground strained the steel ramp to the breaking point. First Bull: "You know, it's actually been some time since I really felt I was doing all my cows justice, anyway. I think I can spare a few for our new friend." Second Bull: "I'll have plenty of cows to take care of if I just stay on the opposite end of the pasture from him. I'm certainly not looking for an argument." They look over at their young friend, the 3rd bull, and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns, and snorting. First Bull: "Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it." Third Bull: "Heck, he can have ALL MY COWS. I'm just making sure he knows I'm a bull!" I knew that my husband’s hearing had deteriorated after our friend, new to the city asked where he could meet some singles.

A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery hill in the Highlands. They had been silent for a while, when the lass said, "A penny for your thoughts." The lad was a bit abashed, but he finally said, "Well, I was thinking how nice it would be if ye'd give me a wee bit of a kiss." So she did so. But he again lapsed into a pensive mood which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him, "What are ye thinking now?" To which the lad grumbled, "Well, I was hoping ye hadn't forgotten the penny!"

Two guys, one old, one young, are pushing their carts around the grocery store when they collide. The old guy says to the young guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." The young guy says, "That's okay, it's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate." The old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?" "Well, she is 27 years old, tall, with red hair, blue eyes, long legs, and is wearing a tank top with short white shorts. What does your wife look like?" The old guy replies, "It doesn't matter, let's look for yours."
