Joke for this Week - Walking through the hallways at the middle school where I work, I saw a new substitute teacher standing outside his classroom with his forehead against a locker. I heard him mutter, "How did you get yourself into this?" Knowing that he was assigned to a difficult class, I tried to offer moral support.  "Are you okay?" I asked. "Can I help?" He lifted his head and replied, "I'll be fine as soon as I get this kid out of his locker."

Tip of the Week - In the early spring when the water first starts to warm, downsize you baits to catch more bass.  I had this driven home to me a long time ago.  Linda and I were fishing Clark's Hill the last weekend in Feb and it was real warm.  We were fishing with a popular crankbait back then, a chrome Hellbender.  The ones we were using were about 5 inches long.  I kept seeing bass following but not hitting.  I had just gotten some of the new Rebel Wee R's - they were about 3 inches long.  Started throwing them and we landed 78 bass in the next two days!

Thought for the Week -   There are 2 times when a man doesn't understand  a woman - before marriage and after marriage.

Bonus Joke -  A man goes to the White House and asks to see President Clinton.  The Marine on duty tells the guy that Clinton isn't President, and to please leave.  The man goes away.  The next day he comes back to the White House and asks to see President Clinton. The marine on duty reminds him that Clinton is not President, and to please go away.

The man goes away. The next day, he comes back again, and again the same Marine is on duty. The man asks to see President Clinton, and the Marine, his patience worn out, says, "WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING HERE ASKING FOR HIM? CLINTON IS NOT PRESIDENT ANYMORE!!!" The man smiles and says, "I know, I just like hearing it."
