Recommended Reading and a couple of jokes

Dianne over at Forks has a wonderful post today. It is my Recommended Reading.
I love her writing and this story of an encounter with a 92 year old Scottish lady is one of the best.

And now for a couple of Jokes which were sent to me.

A man is giving a speech at his lodge meeting.
He gets a bit carried away and talks for two hours.
Finally, he realizes what he is doing and says;
"I'm sorry I talked so long. I left my watch at home."
A voice from the back of the room says,
"There's a calendar behind you

and then this one:

Q: Where is King Solomon's temple?




A: On the side of his head!

and then this one:

A U.S. Navy cruiser was anchored in Mississippi for a week's shore leave. The first evening, the ship's Captain received the following note from the wife of a wealthy land owner:

"Dear Captain: This coming Thursday will be my daughter Melinda's Debutante Ball. I would like you to send four well-mannered, handsome, unmarried officers in their formal dress uniforms to attend the dance. They should arrive promptly at 8:00 PM, and be prepared for an evening of polite Southern conversation. They should be excellent dancers, as they will be the escorts of lovely refined young ladies. One last point: No Jews, please."

At 8:00 PM on Thursday, Melinda's mother heard a polite rap at the door. Upon opening it, she found, in full dress uniform, four smiling black officers. Her mouth fell open, but, pulling herself together, stammered, "There must be some mistake."

"Oh no, Madam," said the first officer. "Captain Goldberg never makes mistakes."

Have a great day. C U Later.
