Joke for this Week - During a recent publicity outing, Hillary sneaked off to visit a fortune teller of some local repute. In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news. "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year." 

Visibly shaken, Hillary stared at the woman's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met the fortune teller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question... "Will I be acquitted?"

Tip of the Week - Try circle hooks for catfish.  Circle hooks are designed so you do not have to "set the hook" and almost always hook the fish in the corner of the mouth, making them easier to unhook.  Give them a try!

Thought for the Week - We have enough youth, how about a fountain of Smart?.

Bonus Joke - A woman is shopping in the local supermarket. She selects some milk, some eggs, a carton of juice, and a package of bacon. As she unloads heritems at the cash register to pay, a drunk standing behind her in line watches her place the four items on the belt and states with assurance, "You must be single."  The woman looks at the four items on the belt, and seeing nothing unusual about her selection says, "That's right. How on earth did you know?" He replies, "Because you're ugly."
