A good night was had by all at the auction of Jim Browns stuff, but as one get's older you realise you can't please everyone!, and on the whole it was a good night.

 I hope Jim was happy with the result for his sales!.

 I'm sure everyone will join me in wishing him a happy new home, hopefully he will be able to get down to the lake now!, when the weather get's a bit warmer that it!!.

Two cannibals were eating a clown. One said to the other "Does this taste funny to you?.

Getting into my car, this guy said to me "Can you give me a lift"

I said  "Sure you look great. The worlds your oyster, go for it!.
