Idle Thoughts of a Wandering Mind
would this be a good spot for a joke?
send me a joke... mtidaporch@gmail.com
put Joke in the subject line please.

From our Useless Information Department:
The world record for spitting a watermelon seed remains 65 feet 4 inches.
From the political humor desk:
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor
campaign funds from the rich,
by promising to protect each from the other.~Ameringer
And there was this about foriegn travel:

Groups of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland.
As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led
them through the process of cheese making, explaining that
goat's milk was used. She showed the group a lovely hillside
where many goats were grazing.
'These' she explained, 'are the older goats put out to pasture,
 when they no longer produce.'
She then asked, 'What do you do in America with your old goats?'

A spry old gentleman answered, 'They send us on bus tours!

Always Do all the good you can, by all the means you can,
at all the times you can, to all the people you can,
 as long as you can!!

Remember to Join and Vote the Possum Party, we don't have wings that flap in useless circles!
Our platform is "Eat more Possum" and our motto is "we're only playin' possum"
and last but not least,
Vote for the Possum Queen of your choice at every opportunity!
It is truly the best election that money can buy!!
All
Hail the Possum Queen!
Until next time~
