Confucius say… marriages are made in heaven… so are thunder & lightning.
Submitted by Jimbo
After being married for thirty years, a wife asked her husband to describe her. He looked at her for a while, then said, "You're an alphabet wife... A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K." She asks, "What the heck does that mean?" He said, "Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, and Hot". She smiled happily and said, "Oh, that's so lovely, but what about I, J, K?" He said, "I'm Just Kidding!" The swelling in his eye is starting to go down and the doctor doesn’t think he’ll need stitches on the gash on his lip.
Trivia! Joe loves to create confusion. One Tuesday he sent an e-mail memo to his secretary that said, "I'll be back in the office three days before one week after the day after tomorrow." When would he be back? A: Monday of the following week. Uncle Andy’s Digest ...witThravis & Jimbo

Confucius say… question authority and the authorities will question you.
Submitted by Thomas Hill
Give your father the gift he deserves!
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund along for company. One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long the dachshund discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having him for lunch. The dachshund thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble now!" Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here." Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the leopard. "That was close. That dachshund nearly had me." Meanwhile, a monkey, who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, (continued on next page)

But the dachshund saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."

Confucius say… fortune you seek is in another cookie.
Now the dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet... and, just when they get close enough to hear, the dachshund says, "Where's that darn monkey? Sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard." "I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful." – Bob Hope Uncle Andy’s Digest ...withravis &T Jimbo

After being laid off from five different jobs in four months, Uncle Andy was hired at a warehouse. One day he lost control of a forklift and drove it off the loading dock. Surveying the damage, the owner shook his head and said he'd have to withhold 10% of Uncle Andy's weekly wages to pay for the repairs. "How much will it cost?" asked Uncle Andy.

Bedside Manners
Confucius say… sumo wrestling is survival of the fattest.
Submitted by Thomas Hill
Susie's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months. Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day. One day as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him. She pulled the chair close to the bed and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him. "You know" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, "you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were. When we lost the house, you were there. When I got shot, you stuck with me. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. "And you know what?" "What, dear?" she asked gently, smiling to herself. "I think you're bad luck!" "Did I invite you to my barbeque?"

Puppy Training A young boy, about six or seven years old, came into the library last week and asked my help to find a puppy-training video. We located an appropriate video for him, and he told us about his new beagle puppy. These videos can be checked out for a week, so I was surprised the next day when the boy brought back the video and checked out a cartoon instead. While checking out the new video for him, I asked him, "How did that puppy-training video work for you?" "Oh, not very well," he replied, "I couldn’t get him to watch it for long. At his age, he’s mostly interested in food, you know."

Mathematician Mind Submitted by Thomas Hill
A team of engineers couldn’t be found affordably, so this group hired Jimbo, Uncle Andy & Travis who were required to measure the height of a flag pole. They only had a measuring tape, and were getting quite frustrated trying to keep the tape along the pole. It kept falling down, etc.

A mathematician comes along, finds out their problem, and proceeds to remove the pole from the ground where he can measure it easily. When he leaves, Uncle Andy says to the other two: "Just like a mathematician! We needed to know the height, and he gave us the length!" In 1783, the Pennsylvania Evening Post was published by Benjamin Towner of Philadelphia, PA. It was the first daily newspaper published in America.

The CEO was scheduled to speak at an important convention so he asked one of his employees, Jenkins, to write him a punch, 20minute speech. When the CEO returned from the big event, he was furious. "What's the idea of writing me an hourlong speech?", he demanded. "Half the audience walked out before I finished." Jenkins was baffled. "I wrote you a 20minute speech," he replied. "I also gave you the two extra copies you asked for."

In 1893, Chicago hired its first police woman. Her name was Marie Owens. While the city was progressive in its hiring practices, Chicago's female police officers were not allowed to wear uniforms until 1956. A very angry golfer was on his way to carding a round of 150. He turned to his caddy and said, “You must be the worst caddy in the world.”

purchased The Cap Place which was previously located on Route 4 in Turner in May, 2012. They moved the business to their current location at 980 Pond Rd., Wales. There they have a beautiful showroom and a full service garage where they even offer state inspections. "Dan and I run the business together. I handle the sales and books and Dan does the installs and repairs," says Holly. The Cap Place offers just about every accessory that is out there for vehicles these days. They are also the largest used truck cap and tonneau cover dealer in Maine, specializing in Leer caps. "We pride ourselves in being a small home based business. We'll do whatever we can to keep your money in Maine," Holly adds. When you visit The Cap Place & More you will get personalized customer service and satisfaction in a family oriented and friendly atmosphere. They also offer parts and repair on just about any cap and have a huge selection of caps on display to help you find the best fit for your truck. They can match most online prices and even offer free shipping on a lot of items. Hanging in the store is a great quote that really reflects Holly and Dan's character: "When you buy from a mom and pop business, you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom or dad put food on the table, a family pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bullcrap might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there. Wife: I'm making breakfast for dinner tonight. What do you want? Me: Bacon. Wife: And? Me: *blank stare* Wife: AND?

The World's Largest Catsup Bottle stands proudly next to Route 159, just south of downtown Collinsville, Illinois. This unique 170 ft. tall water tower was built in 1949 by W.E. Caldwell Company for the G.S. Suppiger catsup bottling plant. In 1995, due to the efforts of the Catsup Bottle Preservation Group, this piece of local history was saved from demolition and beautifully restored to its original appearance.

We love bringing the COMMUNITY together to celebrate Earth Day! It rocked our world for sure!!
Confucius say… man who eat many prunes, sit on toilet many moons.
Community Credit Union (CCU) hosted a Community Recycle Day in April to help community members do their part in saving the earth. “The event draws crowds every year,” said Kerry Wood, President for CCU. “This was our fifth year holding the event. We initially wanted to expand a recycling program we currently offer to members by doing a large community event in celebration of Earth Day. We now realize that the community looks forward to the annual event and greatly appreciates the collaboration of the local organizations.” Several local organizations joined forces to make this event a success including CCU, eWaste Recycling Solutions, Security Shredding, and Stratham Tire. The following was recycled as a result of the event: 16,000 pounds of electronics including CPUs and televisions, 70 tires & 4,500 pounds of paper for shredding. CCU runs a program they designed called “Do Your Part” each quarter. It allows members to do their part in saving the earth by participating in different recycling opportunities including the recycling of cell phones and eye glasses. They also periodically hold Shredding events within the branches. CCU is a memberowned, full service financial institution that has been serving its members since 1945. With branches located at 144 Pine Street, Lewiston and 40 Stanley Street, Auburn. For more information about community services, log onto communitycreditunion.com See their ad on page 53.

Welcome to summer Uncle Andy’s Digesters. Congratulations, you have successfully managed to make it through another Maine winter. I’m sure you already have the long johns and mittens packed away up in the attic, nestled snugly in a plastic storage bag with a sprinkle of mothballs so you can smell like the late 1960’s next winter. After the long months inside and the percolating of cabin fever there is nothing better than getting outside listening to the peepers, smelling the fresh air, and giving the black flies a gourmet dinner. If you have been pondering testing the waters of the housing market what are you waiting for, Christmas and the snow again? Give my pal Scott Demers a call over at Maine Mortgage Company and have him set you up with a pre-qualification and then call your aunt who has a real estate license and go nuts driving her crazy looking at every third house on every fourth block in the twin cities. Rates are great and there is nothing like warming the seat on your own porcelain thrown, trust me! Once you have found your new home sweet home you can celebrate at the Village Inn! They are celebrating 50 Years in business this month, so you know it is already going to be a party and hey you can’t beat the mound of tasty battered clams. That is exactly what I had last time I was down east or up north if you know what I mean. After you stuff your face full of delicious Village Inn cuisine and unpack the boxes in your new home make sure you save some time to read Uncle Andy’s Digest cover to cover and help your fellow Mainers!

A psychology professor at the University of Miami knew his students expected a terrifyingly long final exam. To play with their minds a little (what do you expect from a psychology professor?) he only put ONE question on the final exam. He watched the reactions of the students as they all opened the exams and saw the one question. Initially they all looked relieved, but as the difficulty of the question began to sink in, those relieved faces sagged to confusion and consternation. All, that is, except for one student. He read the question, tapped his pencil into his palm a few times, then jotted something down on the test paper. He walked up to the (continued on next page)

Cooking Tips from a College Kid
"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." – Jules de Gautier
By Natasha Piirainen
Are you like me, spending the summer away from your mother’s amazing cooking? Some of my favs are: stuffed shells, lasagna, delicious, juicy burgers on the grill, and warm peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for dessert! Maybe you (like me) have chosen to live out of state to do research for the summer that sounded good at first, but now after thinking about momma’s cooking you’re beginning to feel like it might be a mistake? Let’s get through this together... here are some thrifty tips and tricks to help you cook for yourself like a pro! Great for any college student. 1) Buy a crockpot. You really can set it and forget it! Pick up some meat at the grocery store and a bottle of already made marinade, dump it into the bowl, and BOOM! you’ve got yourself a five star meal that only takes a few hours to cook!
The Bible is the number one shoplifted book in America.
2) Stock up on pasta. You can add anything to it! Tomato sauce is most popular, but you can also use parmesan cheese, sausages, cheddar, Italian or ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, sour cream, leftover soda, alright some of these probably wouldn’t taste that great but you get the point.
Check out our newest location
3) Most importantly, get a car. Driving means you can go home for a visit when it is dinner time. In my case, just a three and a half hour drive through three states will get me back to Maine in time for lemon garlic chicken and stuffing. And a long drive for mom’s homemade cooking is always a better idea than ramen noodles!

Golf Meditations
I may not be Jesus but I can turn water into koolaid.
The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three. When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls. If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing. The inevitable result of (continued on next page)

It's not a gimme if your still away. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

Confucius say… economy will go up and down when country is run by yo-yo's. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard. To calculate the speed of a players downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap; i.e. backswing 20mph, handicap 15, downswing = 600mph. There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one in wearing the glove.
