Happy hump day!!

It's Wednesday, and boy...I'm not sure it could get any busier!!  For some reason the contemplation that we have almost four full weeks of work till Christmas is a depressing thought.  I've resolved not to think of it like that again...I just need to go one day at a time.  :)

So - today is midweek, hump day, and a great day!!  Not much by way of celebrations, but I'm going to share a joke someone left in a workroom this morning that made us all chuckle...

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.  Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble.  In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they  need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.

Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home."

The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it.  The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less.

After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.  She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch.  I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."

The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost .99 cents a word.

Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.  After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, "I want you to send her the word 'comfortable'."

The operator shakes his head.  "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word 'comfortable'?"

The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde.  The word is big.  She'll read it very slowly...

"Com-for-da-bul."

😊   Did that give you a chuckle for the day??

on a side note - it's National French Toast Day!  I like that idea...  that makes dinner easy...  😊  What's your favorite french toast?  I love sourdough...and while powdered sugar is nice, I like syrup and butter...  I'm not a big fan of Texas toast...whole wheat stuff is good for me. 

I did find out an interesting bit of trivia...  it's not named French toast for the nation, it's named that from a restaurant owner from 1700's who's name was French and he was advertising them.  Did you know it's been around in some form or another since the Romans???  wow...  and you thought it was an American thing, lol.

It's also Rockefeller Tree Lighting - do you watch that?  I never have, but I guess it's a big deal back there.  Here's the link if you're interested... For some people it's the lights that makes the start of the Christmas Season.  :)

Have a great day!!
