Jottings by Jerry – June 20

It was a very warm weekend in Waterloo for the granddaughter’s wedding, but thankfully, everything had air conditioning. No problems, just three days of fun. Picture perfect. Now in a few short months we can look forward to our grandson’s wedding. It’s a big year for us.

It is a rainy start to the week for us so the crops should be in good shape. The grass needs regular mowing and the weeds need full attention. It could be a lazy summer for us if we give it a chance. The mosquitoes, in Fulda, have been dealt with and set back some. When you hear the fogging machine coming up the street it’s time to clear the yard of children and pets. I’m not against spraying and it is nice to be in your yard without being attacked by a hoard of mosquitoes, but I am sensitive to the chemical.

A pirate walks into a bar with a paper towel on his head, sits down and orders a drink.

Bartender serves the pirate his drink, and asks about the paper towel.

The pirate smiles and says, “That be the bounty on me head!”

A teenager invited his girlfriend over to Sunday dinner to meet his parents for the first time. He warned her that his mother can be strong willed and very critical of his friends.

She replied, “Don’t worry, I can hold my own. I’ll nicely put her in her place if need be.”

After dinner the teen asked his girlfriend why she hadn’t stood up to his mother. She answered by saying, “I’m not worried about her, it’s the horde of flying monkeys that must be waiting outside that bothers me.”

Have a good week.
