The News from Whispering Pines

It being Father's Day and all, Mrs. Brewer found herself reflecting on her own father's life as she went about her Sunday chores. She did some laundry, a little shopping, paid bills, and planted flowers. Mr. Brewer had left on the 11AM Delta flight to Minneapolis and then on to Oklahoma City so she had plenty of quiet time to think. She has many, many memories of her father. One of the best was his ability to tell a joke. He had a joke for every situation. Ole, Sven, and Lena showed up in most of them! Her father was also a very wise man. Often times his jokes revealed a greater truth than was apparent on the surface. He could peer into human nature and wasn't fooled easily. In his honor, Mrs. Brewer would like to share some jokes in today's column. They aren't necessarily jokes he told, but they are jokes she knows he would've had a good laugh over.

Do you know why you should always invite two Baptists to go fishing with you?
Because if you only invite one, he'll drink all your beer. Invite two and they won't drink any.

Why don't Amish people water-ski? The horses would drown.

Ole: I need to buy some boards there, Sven.
Sven: How long you want 'em, Ole?
Ole: Long time. I'm building a house, ya know.

Did you hear about Ole's nephew Torvald who won the gold medal at the Olympics? He had it bronzed.

And her Dad loved a good "off-color" joke........
Did you hear about the thieves who stole an entire shipment of Viagra?
Police are looking for a gang of hardened criminals.




Mrs. Brewer just wants to say Happy Father's Day, Dad--I can hear you laughing!
