My second submission
This farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster that he would sell. The other farmer says, "Yep, I've got this great rooster, named Kenny. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem."
Well, Kenny the rooster costs $3,000, a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Kenny. The farmer takes Kenny home and sets him down in the barnyard, but first he gave the rooster a pep talk. "I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job.! So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.!
Kenny seems to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house and Kenny takes off like a shot. WHAM! Kenny nails every hen in the hen house - three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked.
After that, the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen and, sure enough, Kenny is in there. Later, the farmer sees Kenny after a flock of geese down by the lake. Once again - WHAM! He gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Kenny out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants.
The farmer is distraught and worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and all night long he hears Kenny out there nailing everything in the barn and then some. He wakes up late the next morning and doesn't hear anything at all. Worried he runs out only to find Kenny on his back out in the middle of the yard, mouth open, tongue hanging out and both feet sticking straight up in the air. Buzzards are circling overhead.
The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Kenny, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."
Kenny opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, "Shhhh .. they're getting closer."

We had a "foof couch" a couple of years ago, one image is our kitten with a friend's dog sleeping on it. The other image? Kitten alone in house for the weekend, remains of foof couch. We don't know how he did it, but it was utterly destroyed. We took pics and video of him playing in the wreckage before spending nearly 2 hours cleaning up the stuffing scattered all through the house! It was funny, it was cute, we laughed, but we still wonder how he destroyed something a grown person can lay on when he weighed about 4 lbs wet. I have never seen anything like that.
Off topic - but, I got my kit today! THANKS AGAIN T.!!!! I am super excited to try it out 
My attempt. Sorry for the work of making you click on the link. This is the last page of the book and ROFL, well, you just had to be there.

Doesn't count but funny:
THE PERFECT HUSBAND
Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes."
WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked.."
MAN: "How much?"*
WOMAN: "$90,000."
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty thousand if it's what you really want."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"
MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open. He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

Here's a bump to get people to post, and to solicit for "Likes" . . . my Volt pro kit just came in the mail today from the last contest. I'm charging it up now, but both batteries and the PCC came with 2 of 3 charge bars, so I puffed on one for a little bit.
Nice little kit. The auto batteries are easy to draw. I've tried other KR8 auto batts that you had to suck your ears into your skull to get them to draw, but these are nice and easy. I'll write more later in the review section. Just wanted to tell people this thing is something you want to compete for.
