April 8 Humor

 # A large group of Japanese tourists finished their visit to the Sid Richardson collection of Western art in Fort Worth. As they descended the stairs, the friendly Texan guide said goodbye in the local vernacular calling after them, “y’all come back now, you hear?” With that, the entire group turned and walked back up the stairs.

# It’s interesting to think about the way the Japanese think of us as just the place where the Toyotas go.

@  After my friend James moved to Florida from Massachusetts, he immediately took advantage of the good fishing in the area. After assembling the gear that he’d use for freshwater fishing up North, he settled in a popular spot on the intercoastal waterway, attach his favorite lure to his line and cast it out. Within a minute he caught a beautiful 8 pound fish. The local fishermen gazing in admiration as James brought the big catch ashore and offered it to one of the spectators. Accepting with gratitude, the old man asked, “What kind of bait did you use  to land this beauty?” “My favorite silver spinner.” James responded proudly call. “No,” the old-timer exclaimed. “You can’t catch anything on that. You’ve got to use live shrimp.”
