West bound and down, UPS and FedEx a rollin' They gonna do what I say can't be done. They’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get here they’re west bound and now just watch UPS & FedEx run. Keep your foot hard on the pedal, never mind them brakes let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make. UPS from Indiana P A and FedEx from Rockford I .L. You got to dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im and you got to keep those diesels truckin'. You promised you’d be here on the 18th, so come round to the back 40 and I’ll be await’en at the gate. Just slow down to 45, toss that package and then hammer it till you reach 1 0 5 and you did what I said couldn’t be done.
UPS and FedEx did not approve this message
Ps: I have borrowed a catchers face mask and chest protector. Now if I could borrow a pair hockey gloves for tomorrow.

I remember that.
I'm thinking 7500.
That would be a good number to retire on. |

| Chris: You cannot retire on 7500. The people who read this forum at night while winding down from a hectic day at work, or golf or catching up on their loafing would be lost without your posts and humor. No, you cannot retire on 7500. You cannot retire at all and that's all I've got to say about that... |

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen.
He goes back into the bar, handily flips his gun into the air, catches it above his head without even looking and fires a shot into the ceiling.
"WHICH ONE OF YOU SIDEWINDERS STOLE MY HOSS?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.
No one answered.
"ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA HAVE ANOTHA BEER, AND IF MY HOSS AIN'T BACK OUTSIDE BY THE TIME I FINNISH, I'M GONNA DO WHAT I DUN IN TEXAS! AND I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO DO WHAT I DUN IN TEXAS!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly.
He had another beer, walked outside, and his horse is back! He saddles-up and starts to ride out of town.
The bartender wanders out of the bar and asks, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home." 
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." 
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?" 
The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?" 
And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

Lorena Ochoa a 24-year-old young lady on the LPGA who seems to have a personality of humility when being interviewed, with a politeness and graciousness, that I believe is genuine, and is so refreshing these days. Most of you probably are not aware of her accomplishments this year, which are truly remarkable. Yes I am a fan and it’s not easy these days to find an athlete I can appreciate.

While roaming thru the junkyard of my mind one day, in the merry month of May, what to my surprise but some ol’ cars and trucks appeared.
Well, what did you think you were going to find in a junkyard?
Kaiser, Frazer, Henry J, DeSoto, Studebaker, Packard, Hudson, Ford Woody, Jeepster.
International pickup, Studebaker pickup, Willies Overland pickup, Hudson pickup, Plymouth pickup.
Big trucks – Reo, Diamond T, International, White, Mack.
I remember J&J had a delivery panel truck with canvas roll down on the sides and back. Anyone remember that?
Mr. Fred Pack had a two-door cope with a rumble seat. I road in the rumble seat one time from the storage yard into town.
East of McRoss and before the park, there was a bridge across Meadow River. Several homes over there. Did that location have a name?
Always wanted to go to the field up near the top after crossing the bridge. Never made. Well maybe in my next life.
Pudge, is it true that Middle Town is going to become Mid Town?
And finally, “Hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on”.
