314 – Nice Long Weekend

Well I took Thursday off too to make it a nice long 4 day weekend. The big snowstorm that they predicted for last week never made it to us somehow, leaving us with barely 2 inches of light fluffy stuff. It’s amazing just how far off they were with this past storm, (not that I really mind) but they were saying 8-16 inches, and we barely got 2. Our State let people out of work early hoping to not clog up the roads when the storm hit. It never happened. Someone must have egg on their face from that.

Seems many of my friends are on vacation this week! My friend Dave and his wife and daughter are on a cruise out of Miami, our friends Ray and Debbie are in Dominica for 7 days for the “teachers trip” every February vacation (remember last year we went with them to Curacao?). We decided not to go this year as the price was pretty high for a place like Dominica. We’ll have our time in April! (65 days to go!)

If any of you watched the Daytona 500 yesterday, and saw the pothole on Turn 2, you have to laugh at what finally filled and sealed the hole (on the second attempt). Bondo.

On to something funny (if that last paragraph wasn’t funny enough for you) from my friend Mike H:

A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway
when he notices a sign out of the corner of his eye....It reads:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
10 MILES

He thinks this is a figment of his imagination and drives on without second
thought....

Soon he sees another sign which reads:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
5 MILES

Suddenly he begins to realize that these signs are for real and drives past
a third sign saying:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
NEXT RIGHT

His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot is a stone building with a small sign next to the door reading:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS

He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks, 'What may we do for you my son?'

He answers, 'I saw your signs along the highway and was interested in possibly doing business.....'

'Very well my son. Please follow me.' He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door and tells the man, 'Please knock on this door.'

He does so and another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup answers the door... This nun instructs, 'Please place $100 in the cup then go through the large wooden door at the end of the hallway...'

He puts $100 in the cup, eagerly trots down the hall and slips through the door pulling it shut behind him.

The door locks, and he finds himself back in the parking lot facing another sign:

GO IN PEACE.
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS.
SERVES YOU RIGHT, YOU SINNER .

Have a wonderful Monday!
