Hi unclewest, I know you are traveling and it was glad to see you back on the porch is for just a brief visit. Please get back often especially if you have more stories about brother Coonster. I am still ROTPLMAO!!! and will be for awhile. Sorry Coon but it was funny. I will try to control my laughter. Thanks for the laugh. After this past week I needed it. Hope you emerged relatively unscathed. Take Care and let us know when you are getting closer to Helen, GA. Joel

Hi unclewest, Well, you probably know what I'm going to say. I don't think there's anything funny about men hitting women, or anybody being violent to anyone else. How could you possibly take pleasure in suffering? Welcome back to SI, I appreciate your talk on stocks, and I hope the next laugh you get is not about domestic violence.

Unclewest! Thanks for the laugh! I think you are right about the fear. We can use all the jokes we can get in a market such as this. Very good for the soul.... Nothing like a good old southern joke. One thing about us southerners we enjoy laughing at ourselves and we never take ourselves to serious. I bet you are finding that to be true in your travels. Hope you are enjoying seeing the good old USA. luv ya, dealer

That was a good one. I heard a story the other day. There was a guy out in Washington state who was hunting and killed a Spotted Owl. Unfortunately for him, he was caught by a game warden. On the day of his court hearing the judge asked the man, "How do you plead. Guilty or innocent?" The guy responded, "I can't lie to you your honor. I'm guilty. I have been out of work for two years, lost all my savings in the stock market, and have three small children who were hungry. The only thing I saw that day in the woods was that owl. I didn't want to shoot it but I had to feed my family." The judge was moved to tears by the man's honesty and replied, "How can I find this man guilty? If I were in his shoes I may have done the same thing. I can't punish a man for feeding his family! Case dismissed!" As the man was walking out of the court room another gentlemen called to him, "Hey buddy, what did that Spotted Owl taste like?" The man responded, "Well, come to think of it. It kind of tasted like an American Bald Eagle." Have a great day folks!
