RULES FOR CUTTING
YOUR OWN FIREWOOD
1. Park twice as far from the tree as
the tree is tall.
2. It helps to notch the tree away from
the truck.
3. The fact that you live within driving
distance of a forest does not make
you a lumberjack.
4. Just to be on the safe side, always
borrow your buddy’s truck.

Five mornings a week, my husband
goes to the health club, gets on the
stair-stepper, sets the timer, and burys
his nose in a book. Recently he noticed
an amazingly fit middle-aged woman
who seemed to run circles around everyone, took a few breaks, and rarely
even broke a sweat. “It’s not fair,” he
complained. “By the time I’m dragging
myself off to the showers, she’s hopping back onto the stepper for yet ANOTHER session!” One day he came
home with a sheepish grin… “Well,” he
said, “I just found out —they’re identical twins.”

FUN PAPE—Creston’s most read free paper
A doctor was performing a complete
physical, including the visual acuity
test. He placed the patient twenty feet
from the chart and began. “Cover your
right eye with your hand,” the doctor
instructed the patient. The patient read
the 20/20 line perfectly. “Now your left.”
Again, a flawless record. “Now both,”
the doctor requested. There was silence. He couldn’t even read the large
E on the top line. The doctor turned
and discovered the patient doing exactly what he had been asked. He was
standing there with both his eyes covered.
—————————————————LATERAL THINKING PROBLEMS
1. 1. Acting on an anonymous phone
call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They
don’t know what he looks like but
they know his name is John and
that he is inside the house. The
police bust in on a carpenter, a
truck driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without
hesitation or communication of any
kind, they immediately arrest the
fireman. How did they know
they’ve got their man?
2. 2. How could a puppy fall out of a
twenty storey building onto the
ground and live?
3. 3. There are six eggs in the basket.
Six people each take one of the
eggs. How can it be that one of the
eggs is left in the basket?

My father and a friend were talking
about the doors they had installed so
their animals could let themselves in
and out of the house. My dad saked
his friend, who had two massive Great
Danes, “Aren’t you afraid that somebody might crawl through the dogs’
door and steal something?” “If you saw
an opening that big,” said his friend,
“would you crawl through it?”
—————————————————The hesitant driver, waiting for a traffic
jam to clear, came to a complete stop
on the freeway on-ramp. The traffic
had thinned, but the driver still waited.
Finally a furious voice from the vehicle
behind him cried, “Hey, fellow! The
sign says, YIELD, not surrender.”

One patient in our extended care unit
asked every nurse the same question:
“Where am I?” The answer was always, “You’re at Rosemont Hill.” One
day a particularly harried nurse was
stopped. “Where am I?” asked the elderly patient. Exasperated, my colleague answered, “In Heaven.” Without
blinking an eye, the patient answered,
“Oh, thank God! I thought I was still at
Rosemont Hill!”

—————————————————Trying to find rental accommodations
that allowed pets was proving to be
difficult. I phoned in response to an
advertised apartment and asked if pets
were allowed. “No” the man replied.
“Well, what kind of pet?” he added.
Thinking I had a chance, I quickly explained that I had an older cat that was
neutered and declawed. The man covered the phone and thinking I couldn’t
hear, said to his wife: “Would we allow
a cat? It’s almost dead.”

A rebus is a picture representation
of a name, word or phrase.
The puzzle below portrays a common
word or phrase.
Can you guess what it is?
A man absolutely hated his wife’s cat
and decided to get rid of him one day by
driving him 20 blocks from his home and
leaving him at the park. As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the
driveway. The next day he decided to
drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the
beast out and headed home. Driving
back up his driveway, there was the cat!
He kept taking the cat further and further
and the cat would always beat him
home. At last he decided to drive a few
miles away, turn right, then left, past the
bridge, then right again and another right
until he reached what he thought was a
safe distance from his home and left the
cat there. Hours later the man calls
home to his wife: “Jen, is the cat there?”
“Yes,” the wife answers, “why do you
ask?” Frustrated, the man answered,
“Put that cat on the phone, I’m lost and
need directions!”
—————————————————-The waitress at the upscale restaurant
kept starring at the leading man every
time she brought him another dinner
course. “Say,” she finally said, “don’t I
know you from somewhere?” The leading actor was coy. “Possibly you’ve seen
me in the movies,” he said. “Maybe,” she
said thoughtfully. “Where do you usually
sit?”
—————————————————The doctor was certainly right when he
said jogging would add years to my life. I
feel ten years older already.

I was in my cardiologist's waiting room
when a well dressed man approached
the counter and said he was from the
local funeral home. He had stopped by
to pick up a death certificate. The receptionist found the document and
handed it to the man. He turned to
leave, facing a waiting room full of
heart patients. Before walking out the
door, he waved cheerfully and then
called out, “See ya.”
—————————————————MAKES SENSE TO ME
One night while I was cat-sitting my
daughter’s indoor feline, it escaped
outside. When it failed to return the
following morning, I found the beast
clinging to a branch about 30 feet up in
a spindly tree. Unable to lure it down, I
called the fire department. “We don’t
do that anymore,” the woman dispatcher said. When I persisted, she
was polite but firm. “The cat will come
down when it gets hungry enough.”
“How do you know that?” I asked.
:Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in
a tree?” she said. Two hours later the
cat was back, looking for breakfast.
—————————————————My son Mark was only 5 feet 8 inches
tall when he left for college in the fall.
He worked through the Christmas holidays and didn’t return home again until
the February break. When he got off
the plane, I was stunned at how much
taller he looked. Measuring him at
home, I discovered he now stood at 5
feet, 11 inches. My son was as surprised as I. “Couldn’t you tell by your
clothes that you’d grown?” I asked him.
“Since I’ve been doing my own laundry,” he replied, “I just figured everything had shrunk.”

In a small town in our country, there is
a rather sizable factory that hires only
married men. Concerned about this, a
local woman called on the manager
and asked him, “Why is it you limit your
employees to married men? Is it because you think women are weak,
dumb, cantankerous...or what?” “Not at
all, Ma’am,” the manager replied. “It is
because our employees are used to
obeying orders, are accustomed to
being shoved around, know how to
keep theirs mouths shut and don’t pout
when I yell at them.”
—————————————————My husband and I were touring our
friends’ new home. Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Carter had put special touches everywhere. In the bathroom, my husband
leaned over to me and whispered,
“They even have monogrammed faucets.”
—————————————————My aunt had assured her friend that
her family of six would all eat spaghetti.
While the hostess was out of the room,
four year old Debbie brought her plate
from the children’s table and announced that she couldn’t eat it. My
aunt quickly split it between her husband and herself. On their way home,
Debbie explained why she hadn’t
eaten her spaghetti: The dog had been
licking it.
—————————————————A novice to softball joined our league
and was using an old worn out baseball glove. When his neighbor gave
him a new one, he asked the veteran
how to care for it. At the next game,
the rookie seemed glum and was back
using the old glove. When asked why,
he produced what had been his new
glove, now shrunken, wizened and destroyed. The veteran who’d told him
how to care for it declared, “I can’t believe this resulted from my advice to
you to oil the glove!” “Oil it?” echoed
the rookie. “I thought you said boil it.”

I pulled up to the drive-thru of a fastfood restaurant and ordered coffee. I
asked the clerk to put some ice cubes
into the cup so that I could drink the
cool coffee quickly. At the window
there was a delay. Finally, a blonde
teen-aged girl came to the window
looking frustrated. “I’m having a problem,” she announced. “The ice keeps
melting.”
—————————————————An old blacksmith realized he was going to have to quit working so hard. So,
he picked out a strong young man to
become his apprentice. The old fellow
was crabby and exacting. “Don’t ask
me a lot of questions,” he told his
young apprentice. “Just do whatever I
tell you to do.” One day the old blacksmith took an iron out of the forge and
laid it on the anvil. “Get the hammer
over there,” he said. “When I nod my
head, hit it real good and hard.” Nod….

wee pig running around the kitchenrunning up to the visitor and giving him
a great deal of attention. The visitor
commented that he had never seen a

“Ummm, he’s not really that friendly.
That’s his bowl you are using.”

When and Where Were Credit Cards
Invented and First Used?
While we suspected that credit cards
were first invented in the mid 1980’s to
exploit the growing number of latenight infomercials and our own unquenchable thirst for instant gratification, it turns out that the practice of
splashing plastic was pioneered a
good deal earlier. Credit cards as we
know them, good at multiple businesses, were first thrown down in
1951. That’s when 200 brave, preapproved souls were able to present
their Diners Club cards at 27 different
New York City restaurants and leave
with the same amount of cash they
walked in with. According to credit card
lore, in 1949, Frank McNamara went to
dinner at Major’s cabin Grill and forgot
his wallet. After talking his way out of
doing dishes to cover his tab, McNamara thought, “Never again!” In February 1950, he and a partner founded
Diners Club and returned to Major’s
with a small cardboard card. Frank
signed for dinner, without a hassle, and
the event was eventually dubbed “the
First Supper.” Credit cards added the
now ubiquitous magnetic stripe in the
1970’s and that the rise of plastic
ended the production of all banknotes
larger than $100.

Is there a difficult project that needs attention?
One morning a three year old boy
asked his mother, “Mommy, how can I

replied. “Do you know what the word
imagination means?” Yes Mommy,” he
answered immediately. “It means no
batteries.”
—————————————————Columbus was the world’s most impressive salesman. He started out not

all on a big cash advance, and got a
repeat order.
—————————————————This is a story which is perfectly logical
to all males but which mystifies all females.
A wife asks her husband, “Could you
please go shopping for me and buy
one carton of milk, and if they have
eggs, get 6.”
A short time later the husband comes
back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife
asks him, “Why did you buy 6 cartons
of milk?”
He replied, “They had eggs.”
—————————————————Here’s a one question IQ test to help
you decide how you should spend the
rest of your day.
There is a mute who wants to buy a
toothbrush. By imitating the action of
brushing one’s teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper
and the purchase is done.
Now, if there is a blind man who
wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,
how should he express himself?

I had worked late, and my Labrador
was so overjoyed to see me arrive
home that he jumped up just as I
leaned down. Our heads collided, and I
sported an impressive shiner for several weeks. I had to repeat frequently
to co-workers and friends how I came
by it. One day, on the elevator, a secretary whom I hadn’t seen for some
time looked at my black eye and exclaimed “Lorraine! What happened?”
“The dog did it,” I wearily replied. A
man standing next to us looked over at
me and said knowingly, “Oh, a boxer.”
—————————————————The doors on my aging car had frozen
shut. When repeated hip and body
checks wouldn’t budge them, I hit on
the idea of stringing extension cords
together and using my hair dryer to
warm the doorjamb. While I was trying
this method, a young woman came
around the corner, two toddlers in tow
on a sled. Out of the corner of my eye,
I saw her stop to watch, and I looked
up. “Don’t mind me,” she called out.”
“I’m impressed. Since the twins were
born, I can’t even find time to brow-dry
my hair.

SEPTEMBER EQUINE SPECIALS STILL ON!
My passion for horses began at a very young age and has been the primary focus of my life.
I saved up and bought my first horse at age eleven and still have him today along
with another gelding, a broodmare, and another leased mare that I am hoping to get my next
prospects out of this coming year. I rode just about every discipline of riding growing up but
dressage and jumping are my favorites. School came pretty easy for me as a child so I decided to become a vet around the age of ten with the thought of combining my academic
ability with my love of horses. I was in Pony Club and 4-H for many years and got a good
basic knowledge of horse care through those clubs. Getting the acceptance letter
from veterinary school after several years of college and university in order to complete all of
the prerequisites was one of the best days of my life. I understood how competitive it was
and becoming a vet was absolutely the only career I was interested in so it was pretty stressful wondering if I would ever get in and therefore a huge relief when it finally happened.
I thought I would do solely equine work when I graduated, so in school I chose to do all of
the equine electives and filled my practical year with mostly equine rotations. I stayed longer
in Saskatoon the summer before my final year doing a six-week equine rotation that included medicine, surgery, and field service in order to get more cases during the busier time
of year. This enabled me to get much more experience with reproductive work, foal medicine, general medicine, surgery, field work, and a lot more training with equine dental work.
When I graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2011 I started work
with an equine vet in the West Kootenays and did strictly equine work for the first few
months. Come late summer, the equine work slowed down and it was time to look for small
animal or mixed work. That is when I approached Dr. McLeod and was very lucky to get on
at the Creston Veterinary Clinic where we see all animal species. I really like Creston and I
love the clinic and the staff so I hope I will be working here for a very long time.
