Waste a valuable minute or two, just because !

Few people know that George Washington was a Texan. As a young boy he chopped down his father’s favorite mesquite tree. Later in the day, his father discovered the tree and demanded to know who cut it down. Father, said young George, I cannot tell a lie, I chopped it down. That settles it said his father, we’re moving to Virginia. With an attitude like that you’ll never make it in Texas Politics.

A man visiting a cemetery saw a tombstone that read, “Here lies John Kelly, a Lawyer and an honest man.” How bout that the man exclaimed, they got three people buried in one grave.

Wllie & Ray, a couple of farmers met at the hardware store. Willie said I got a problem, my prize bull was impotent. But the vet gave him some medicine and the bulls doing fine. The next week they were at the store again and Ray said my bulls having problems. What was that medicine the Vet prescribed. I don’t know answered Willie but it tastes like chocolate.
