JEFF FOXWORTHY TAKE ON WISCONSIN



1. If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Wisconsin.



2. If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Wisconsin.



3. If you have ever refused to buy something because it's 'too spendy', you might live in Wisconsin.



4. If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Wisconsin.



5. If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Wisconsin.



6. If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Wisconsin.



7. If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Wisconsin.



8. If you may not have actually eaten it, but you have heard of Lutefisk, you might live in Wisconsin.

10. If you have either a pet or a child named 'Brett', you might live in Wisconsin.



11. If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Wisconsin.

Jesus Is Risen



"Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia! Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia! "

Charles Wesley







It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.



But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body.



While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise."



And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest.



Luke 23:54-56, 24:1-9

A Single Rose



A Single rose I give to thee

On this a special day

To help you keep within your heart

The things I want to say

Your friendship gives me so much joy

I cannot say enough

The warmth that comes from every one

Just fills me with such love

The world depends on unity

When we all pull together

Our struggles seem to disappear

Become light as a feather

The sun comes out to shine again

A smile forms on my face

My heart feels just like dancing

In this very special place

When friends like you come gather

Just to share and spend some time

It's the perfect time to give to you



THIS ONE ROSE VALENTINE!

DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!



Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to

go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under

the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a cheque ."



"Oh, by the way don't worry about my bulldog Spike. He won't bother you. But,

whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!" "I

REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"



When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he

discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But, just

as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman

go about his work.



The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant

yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain

himself any longer and yelled,



"Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"



To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

Three in a Tornado



A Wiccan, a Christian, and an atheist are walking casually down a street, talking amongst themselves in a friendly manner when they spot a tornado headed straight for them.



The Wiccan outstretches her arms to the sky and says frantically, "O Lord and Lady!"



The Christian falls hard to his knees, "O Jesus help me, Jesus be with me!"



The atheist turns and grabs ahold of the nearest tree, and says, "Oh nooooooo!"

Thanks for the good Christmas wishes in my GB - Merry Christmas to you, and many happy returns!



Regards,

Keith
