Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Just Some Humor.
Hello everyone, I’m back again with a little humor for you to enjoy. After all, that’s part of my blog, giving you “a smile as wide as a country sunrise” and maybe even a chuckle or two now and then.
So, here we go…
I have a friend who filled his car with gas at a self-service gas station. After he had paid and driven away, he realized that he had left the gas cap on top of his car. He stopped and looked and, sure enough, it was lost.
Well, he thought for a second and realized that other people must have done the same thing, and that it was worth going back to look by the side of the road since even if he couldn’t find his own gas cap, he might be able to find one that fit.
Sure enough, after only a short time of searching, he found a gas cap. He carefully wiped it off and slipped it into place with a satisfying click.
“Great,” he told his wife as he climbed back into the car, “I may have lost my gas cap, but I found another one that fits and it’s even a better cap than the one I had – it locks…”
About a week ago, I saw an Internet column about eliminating paperwork clutter.
Great!
So I printed out the instructions and put them on top of the rest of the stuff on my desk.
Now I can’t find them.
I’m thankful for Facebook & Instagram. Otherwise I’d have to call 674 people every day to tell them I just went to the gym.
Officer: Do you know how fast you were going?
Driver: Sorry officer, I was just trying to catch up with traffic.
Officer: What traffic? The road is empty.
Driver: Yea, that’s how far behind I am.
A snowman was seen at the carrot bin in the produce section of the local grocery. He was picking his nose.
Wife to husband: “This Christmas let’s give each other sensible gifts like ties and fur coats.”
This Christmas remember, the best things in life are not things.
And that’s it for another day. I hope you all enjoy your weekend and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
