No More Canadian Winters

"Favorite Planet Destinations"*

*This redhead, brunette, and blonde were talking
about space travel. They started talking about
which planet they'd go to if they could travel in space.

The redhead said, "I'd go to Mars, because it is red, like my hair."

Then the brunette, not to be outdone, said,
"Well I'd go to Saturn, because it's got all those groovy rings."

Finally, the blonde spoke up. She said, "I'd go to the Sun."

The redhead and the brunette laughed. The
redhead said, "Number one, the sun is not a planet."

"And number two," the brunette finished, "you'd burn up."

The blonde said, "Well duh! I'd go at night!"

"This Land Is Your Land: No More Canadian Winters"*

*The Michaels family owned a small farm in Canada,
just yards away from the North Dakota border.
Their land had been the subject of a minor dispute
between the United States and Canada for
generations. Mrs. Michaels, who had just celebrated
her ninetieth birthday, lived on the farm with her son
and three grandchildren.

One day, her son came into her room holding a letter.
"I just got some news, Mom," he said. "The government
has come to an agreement with the people in Washington.
They've decided that our land is really part of the United
States. We have the right to approve or disapprove of
the agreement. What do you think?"

"What do I think?" his mother said. "Jump at it! Call them
right now and tell them we accept! I don't think I could
stand another one of those Canadian winters!"
