A man in his carefree bachelor days, had been very fond of a Washington restaurant which specialized in waffles with honey. Year after year he had journey to to the place to get the delectable viand; so, when he finally married, he decided to take his wife there, in order to share the pleasure with her. He did not tell her what was coming; merely ordering an excellent meal, with two orders of waffles.
The meal came, the waffles came; but there were two small pitchers of near-maple syrup, and no honey.
He called the waitress over, and whispered, loud enough for his wife to hear: “Where’s my honey?”
The waitress beamed intelligently, “She’s on her vacation now, sir,” was her answer.

Just enduring this hot summer~~It’s been a hundred degrees here for so long I wonder what it’s gonna feel like when autumn finally does get here, other than hot!!
Well school has started again down here. Whatever happened to the school year that started on Sept the first??
The hurricane Irene slammed into the eastern seaboard of the United States and that’s all there is in the news nowadays.
What did Charles D. Warner say? “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.
But then I got my own ideas about weathermen and their lot! There is an old saying:
FIRST FARMER: “Don’t think much of that weather prophet the government’s got on the radio.”
SECOND FARMER: “Well, let’s don’t do any complainin’ about it. Just think how bad it would be if the government started regulatin’ the weather instead of predictin’ it!”
Another line of thought!!
Just watch what happens after Irene goes away= Just watch the gas prices go up!! For what reason?? Who knows but the oil companies will find an excuse to jack it up at the pump no matter what. Wait and see.
Today is another Sunday gone into history~~Enjoy your week!!

Here is another story about Abraham Lincoln past President of the United States


Lincoln's innate democracy was humorously expressed in this mark
about his ancestry: "I don't know who my grandfather was, and
I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be."
