Things
aren't always as they look!
A
family went out to Steak 'n Shake for burgers and shakes a
couple weeks ago. Their
4-year-old, Steven, kept looking at the beautiful peppers in the
bottle on the table. He
began insisting over and over, "I wike that!"
When
they were through eating, Dad sprinkled a little of the sauce on
his plate, set him up with a glass of water, and let him taste it.
At
first he had a considerate expression, then mass confusion
registered on his face, his eyes did a Wyle Coyote bug-out,
followed by a full head-to-body shiver.
After
he settled down his Mom asked him, "You still like
that?" He started saying, "Yes, I -- ?," paused and
suddenly changed it to, "Nooooooo!"

"Live
and learn"; sage advice
From
a young lady recovering from a broken, long-term romantic
relationship, "Life is too short to not forgive.
I forgive him, but I can't forget."

A
little barbershop humor
A
three-legged dog walked into a bar.
The bartender said, "What do you want?"
The dog replied, "I'm looking for the guy who shot my
Paw!"

She's still his Cinderella
A
couple that will be married 47 years in October still have a
certain magic in their marriage.
Don gets on his knees after Pat's morning tanning session
and helps her put her slippers on."
Awww, too sweet!

Uh-oh!
A
little Mindy bird from Lincoln got caught flying low through
Decatur this last week. Darn those radar traps, you just can't go
as fast as you want all the time!
