    Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the
    greatest political sages this country has ever known.

    Some of his sayings:
    1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

    2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

    3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.

    4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

    5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

    6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

    7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

    8. There are three kinds of men:
    The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

    9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

    10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

    11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

    12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

    The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.


    ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

    First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

    Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

    Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

    Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

    Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

    Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young.

    Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

    Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

    Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

    And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

          LOVE STORY FOR GOLFERS

          A couple was having dinner one evening when the husband reached across the table, took his wife's hand in his and said, "Beth, soon we will be married 30 years, and there's something I have to know. In all of
          these 30 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?"

          Beth replied, "Well Charles, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I've been unfaithful to you three times during these 30 years, but always for a good reason."

          Charles was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said, "Beth, I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by 'good reasons?'"

          Beth said, "The very first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn't pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?"

          Charles recalled the visit to the banker and said, "I can forgive you for that. You saved our home, but what about the second time?"

          Beth asked, "And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn't have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the
          surgery at no charge."

          "I do recall that," says Chuck. "And you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time."

          "All right," Beth said. "So do you remember when you wanted to join the golf club and needed 43 votes for membership?"

                • For Fredintoon Eh!

                  A couple are at the airport in Arizona awaiting their flight.
                  They are dressed in heavy boots, parka, scarf, mittens and all ready to head home to the Canadian winter.
                  An older American couple standing nearby is intrigued by their manner of dress.
                  The wife says to her husband, "Look at that couple. I wonder where they’re from?"
                  He replies, "How would I know?"
                  She counters, "You could go and ask them."
                  He says, "I don’t really care. You want to know, you go ask them."
                  She decides to do just that, walks over to the couple and asks,
                  "Excuse me. Noticing the way you’re dressed, I wonder where you’re from?"
                  The Canadian farmer replies, "Saskatoon, Saskatchewan".
                  The woman returns to her husband who asks, "So, where are they from?"

                  She replies, "I don't know. They don't speak English."

                        • I would like to share a personal experience with you guys about
                          drinking and driving.

                          As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the
                          authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the
                          years. A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and
                          had a couple of cocktails and some rather nice red wine.

                          Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something
                          I've never done before I took a cab home. Sure enough, I passed a police
                          road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it past.
                          I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise; as I have
                          never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with
                          it now that it's in my garage.

                              • A nice guy walks into a bar....

                                A guy walked into a bar and ordered a triple scotch. The bartender poured him the drink and the guy drank it down in one gulp.
                                "Wow," said the bartender. "Something bad musta happened."
                                "I came home early today," answered the guy. "I went up to the bedroom, and there was my wife having sex with my best friend."
                                The bartender poured the dude another triple shot. "This one's on the house." The guy gulped it down once again. The bartender asked, "Did you say anything to your wife?"
                                The guy answered, "Yeah, I walked up to her and told her we were through. 'Pack your bag's and get out!' I told her."
                                "What about your friend?" asked the bartender.
                                "I looked him straight in the eye and said, 'Bad dog!'"


                                There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.

                                "Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.

                                "Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to see a man crying."

                                "This is the worst day of my life," I say.
                                "I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man... and then my dog bit me."

                                "So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; and then you show up and drink the whole darn thing!
                                But, enough about me, how are you doing?"
