The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later a cow walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn’t believe his eyes he took the book out of the cow’s mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, “It is a miracle.” “Not really.” said the cow. “Your name is written inside the cover.”

It was a terrible night, blowing cold and rain in a most frightful manner. The streets were deserted and the local baker was just about to close up shop when a little man slipped through the door. He carried an umbrella, blown inside out, he was bundled in two sweaters inside a thick rain coat. But even so, he still looked wet and bedraggled. As he unwound his scarf he said to the baker, “May I have two bagels to go, please?” The baker looked in astonishment, “Two bagels? Nothing more?” “That’s right,” answered the little man. “One for me and one for Gladys.”  “Gladys is your wife?” asked the baker. The little man replied,  “Do you think, my mother would send me out on a night like this?”

* A man was visiting the northern peninsula of Michigan talk with one of the farmers of the region. He said, “It must get really, really cold up here in the winter, “I don’t see how you can stand to be in the cold and dark for so many months.” The farmer answered, “We don’t even try anymore, We go South for the winter.” “Oh, you go to Florida?” “No, said the Farmer,  “to Cleveland.”
