Editors Quote Book

“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”

— Hal Borland


Engineers

A priest, a doctor and an engineer are sentenced to death under the guillotine. The guillotine malfunctions for the priest. “Well,” says the executioner, “according to our laws, the punishment was administered, so we are done. God has spoken. You can go free.” He goes free. The doctor has the same luck. He goes free. When it’s the engineer’s turn to place his head on the faulty guillotine, he looks up and says, “Oh, I see the problem!”


Fascinating Facts

Q. How does the pear get inside a Pear Brandy bottle, when the pear is whole and ripe and the bottle is genuine, and the pear hasn’t been cut in any way?

Funny you should ask!

A. It grew inside the bottle! The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems…. How ‘bout that!

Life’s Difficult Decisions

The doctor told me I had to quit drinking alcohol – immediately … IMMEDIATELY! It was a very difficult decision for me to make, but at the end of the day, I had to make a decision. So, I stopped! I STOPPED going to a doctor for advice. Who needs that kind of negativity in their life?!


Two Campers

Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on his posterior by a rattlesnake. “I’ll go into town for a doctor”, the other one says. He runs, portages and thumbs a ride 10 miles to a small town and finds the town’s only doctor. The doctor is delivering a baby at the time. “I can’t leave”, says the doctor, “but here’s what to do … Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison, and spit it on the ground.” The guy says, “Thanks, Doc!”, and heads back to his friend, thumbing a ride for 10 miles, portaging and running to the campsite. He finds his friend in agony. “What did the doctor say?”, the poor victim asks. “He says you’re gonna die.”


Special Delivery!!

Apparently, this is a true story … a man, completely beside himself with grief and sorrow, hoped to win back his girlfriend by mailing her love letter after love letter. She never responded to any of them. Undeterred, he continued to write to her. Over the course of 2 years, he had mailed her over 800 letters with no response from her. Finally, he received a letter from her … announcing her engagement … to the mailman!!
