<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A </span>man is driving down the road, speeding quite a bit. A cop notices how
fast he is going and pulls him over. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The cop says to the man, “Are you
aware of how fast you were going?”<br /> The man replies, “Yes I am. I’m trying to escape a robbery.”<br /> The cop gives him a skeptical look and says, “Were you the one being robbed?”<br /> The man casually replies, “No, I committed the robbery.”<br /> The cop looks shocked that the man admitted this. “So you’re telling me you were speeding…AND committed a robbery?”<br /> “Yes,” the man calmly says. “I have the loot in the back.”<br /> The cop begins to get angry. “Sir, I’m afraid you have to come with me.” The cop reaches in the window to arrest the man.<br />
“Don’t do that!” the man yells fearfully. “I’m scared you will find the
gun in my glove compartment!” The cop pulls his hand out and calls for
backup. Soon cops, cars, and helicopters are flooding the area. The man
is cuffed quickly. However, before he gets into the police car, a cop
walks up to him and says, while gesturing to the cop that pulled him
over, “Sir, this officer informed us that you had committed a robbery,
had stolen loot in the trunk of your car, and had a loaded gun in your
glove compartment. However, we found none of these things in your car.”<br /> The man replies, “Yeah, and I bet that Story teller said I was speeding too!”</span>Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277193992961221521.post-38828540773977372692018-09-29T22:56:00.000-07:002018-09-29T22:56:32.697-07:00How to Tell if Your Wife is Hard of Hearing<br />

An elderly gentleman went to the doctor complaining that his wife could barely hear. The doctor suggested a test to learn the extent of the problem. “Stand far behind her and ask her a question, and then slowly move closer to determine how far away you are when she first responds.” The man, excited to finally be working on a solution, runs home and sees his wife preparing supper. “Honey,” the man asks standing around 20 feet away, “what’s for supper?” After receiving no response he tried it again 15 feet away, and again no response. Then again at 10 feet away and again still no response. Finally, when he was only five feet away, “Honey, what’s for supper?” She screams, “Jeez! For the fourth time, I said Chinese!!” Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277193992961221521.post-12489787411438757962018-09-06T09:18:00.000-07:002018-09-06T09:18:55.081-07:00How to Set Up Camp in Record Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">A dad coming back to his campsite for sunscreen while the rest of his
family plays at the lake notices a little travel trailer pulling up into a neighboring
empty site. As soon as the engine dies, the doors fly open and four
children of varying ages burst out and fly into a frenzy of activity.
Their parents follow quickly behind them, with the mom and dad unloading
gear as the kids rake the area, set up the picnic table, and arrange the fire
pit. Amazed at their efficiency, the dad with the sunscreen walks over
and watches for a moment more before commenting to the other father,
“I’ve never seen a family work so well together—or so fast. I’m amazed!”
“Yeah,” the other dad says while finishing up the RV leveling. “We live a
few hours away and our policy is that nobody gets to go to the bathroom
after the drive until the camp is set up.”</span>Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277193992961221521.post-91938434100105870282018-02-19T16:12:00.002-08:002018-02-19T16:12:40.123-08:00A Fishing Funny<span class="Green_Title"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Joe and Ed, both from Duluth, Minnesota, were sitting on a pier at the Fountain of Youth RV park at
California’s Salton Sea discussing how happy they were to be in sunny
California rather than back in frigid Minnesota. As they were talking,
Ed noticed something funny about his friend’s ear. “Joe,” he said, “do
you know you’ve got a suppository in your left ear?” Startled, Joe
replied, “I have a suppository in my ear?!” “That’s right,” said Ed,
“you have a suppository in your ear.” Joe immediately pulled it out,
then said, “Thanks. Now I know where I put my hearing aid.”</span>Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277193992961221521.post-17728483524090339272016-05-05T13:16:00.000-07:002016-05-05T13:18:40.475-07:00Dad's Final Request<span id="yiv6129901220ecxyui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462320776706_44181" style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: x-small;">A father told his 3 sons when he sent them to
university:"I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible
education,and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you
to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die." <br /><br />........And so it happened. His sons became
a doctor, a lawyer, and a financial planner, each very successful
financially. When their father's time had come and they saw their father
in the coffin, they remembered his wish. <br /><br />First, it was
the doctor who put 10 $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased. Then,
came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there. </span><br />

But lets hope it never comes down to this...<br />
<br />
An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic.<br />He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."<br />Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.<br /><br />This is what transpired:<br /><br />Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me ??"<br />Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."<br />Dr. Young: Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"<br />Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."<br />
<br />Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.<br />Dr Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."<br />Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."<br />Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is Gasoline!"<br />Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."<br />
<br />Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.<br />Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything !!!!<br />Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, " Here's your $1000 back." (giving him a $10 bill)<br />Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!"<br />Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."<br /><br /><b>Moral of story--Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer! " </b><br />

<br />
<br />
During our last stay in a San Antonio RV Park I had scheduled an appointment with a doctor. We'd got to talking about getting older and nursing homes and I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in a nursing home?"<br />
<br />
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub then we offer the person a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to empty the bathtub."<br />
<br />
"Oh, I understand," I said, "a normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."<br />
<br />
"No," he said, "a normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Farmer John lived on a
quiet rural highway near Hidden Valley. But as time went by, the traffic slowly
built up and became so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at
a rate of three to six a day. So one day
Farmer John called the local police station and said, "You've got to do
something about all of these people driving so fast and killing my
chickens."</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
"What do you want us to do?" asked the policeman. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
"I don't care; just do something about those crazy drivers!" So the
next day the policeman had the Public Works Dept. go out to erect a sign that
said:</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">SLOW:</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">SCHOOL CROSSING</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
Three days later Farmer John called the policeman and said, "You've got to
do something about these drivers. The school crossing sign seems to make them
go even faster!" So, again, the policeman sends out the Public Works Dept.
and they put up a new sign:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">SLOW:</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> <b>CHILDREN AT PLAY</b></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">That really sped them
up. So Farmer John called and called and called every day for three weeks. Finally,
he asked the policeman, "Your signs are doing no good at all ... Can I put
up my own sign?"</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The policeman said,
"Sure, go ahead." He was willing to let Farmer John do just about
anything in order to get him to stop calling to complain.</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
The policeman got no more calls from Farmer John. <br />
Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the policeman and he decided to
give Farmer John a call. “How’s the problem with those drivers. Did you put up
your sign?"</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">"Oh, I sure did,”
replied Farmer John, “and not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got
to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The policeman was really
curious and he thought to himself, "I'd better go out there and take a
look at that sign … it might be something that WE could use to slow down
drivers."</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />

<strong>An RVer at Hidden Valley was sitting in his boat fishing the other day when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up."<br />
<img align="left" alt="fisherman" height="186" src="https://d2q0qd5iz04n9u.cloudfront.net/_ssl/proxy.php/http/gallery.mailchimp.com/3ccb98669f3bbc9d2ca4cf5f4/images/fisherman.jpg" style="height: 186px; width: 200px;" width="200" /><br />
He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming
when he heard the voice say again, "Pick me up." He looked in the water
and there, floating on the top, was a frog.<br />
<br />
The man said, "Are you talking to me?"<br />
<br />
The frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up. Then, kiss me and
I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make
sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have
me as your bride."<br />
<br />
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket.<br />
<img align="right" alt="frog" height="191" src="https://d2q0qd5iz04n9u.cloudfront.net/_ssl/proxy.php/http/gallery.mailchimp.com/3ccb98669f3bbc9d2ca4cf5f4/images/frog.jpg" style="height: 191px; width: 216px;" width="216" /><br />
Then the frog said, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride."<br />
<br />
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, "Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog."</strong></span>Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277193992961221521.post-30759700448030048022012-07-09T20:12:00.000-07:002012-07-09T20:12:05.657-07:002012 RV Oops AwardsThis is the first I heard of these awards and by listing them in RV Giggles...I don't mean to poke fun at the victims of these mishaps rather I hope that they can, along with a little giggle, these catastrophes can serve to teach us little lessons of what NOT to do in our RVs.

“What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever done while motorhoming?”<br />
“Well, to be honest,” replied one fellow when I asked him this
question, “in 19 years of motorhoming, I’ve never done anything stupid …
until this year.” He then proceeded to tell me his woeful tale. Nearly
everyone I asked could recall one or more mishaps they wish hadn’t
happened to them. I recorded these mishaps and ranked them on a 10-item
scale from dumb (No. 10) to dumbest (No. 1). Usually, dumber things are
more costly. Readers may recall last year’s winner (MotorHome, August
2011) totaled his coach by driving into a tollbooth with a slide
extended.<br />
A wise person once said, “Experience is the best teacher.” Maybe so,
but a wiser person noted, “It’s better to learn from other people’s
experiences.” So let’s have a look at this year’s list to find out why
these dumb things occurred, and how you can avoid having them happen to
you. Most of these motorhome owners would probably agree that nothing
spoils a perfectly fine day like an avoidable blunder. <a href="http://www.motorhomemagazine.com/rv-travel-news/2012-rv-oops-awards/" target="_blank">READ MORE</a><br />

We talk to many RVers from nearby states who also claim the title. Mind you, we don't take offense at the label, matter of fact, we take pride in being able to poke fun of ourselves. Besides, it gives us something to live up to. Hehe.<br />
<br />
I even notice that many of my Texan friends on Pinterest have entire pin boards dedicated to "Redneck Stuff." (Don't tell anyone but I have a file on my computer desktop with redneck jokes, stories and pictures, too.) During my tenure in Texas, I've come to realize it's a state of heart, not mind.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in that spirit of reckless self-abandon, I give you the following list of Redneck Medical Terms:</div>

--------------<br />
<br />
Southern girls know the 3 deadly sins: Having bad hair and nails Having bad manners Cooking bad food<br />
<br />
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them.
_____<br />
<br />
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess."
_____<br />
<br />
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."
_____<br />
<br />
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, as in: "Going to town, be back directly."<br />
<br />
Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular, sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
_____<br />
<br />
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
_____<br />
<br />
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'!
_____<br />
<br />
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that"just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.
_____<br />
<br />
Only a Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.
_____<br />

In the South, “y'all” is singular, “all y'all” is plural.
_____<br />
<br />
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
_____<br />
<br />
Every Southerner knows that tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; that scrambled eggs just ain’t right without Tabasco , and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
_____<br />
<br />
When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
_____<br />
<br />
Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.
_____<br />
<br />
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,"Bless her sweet little heart"... and go your own way.
_____<br />
<br />
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southernness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your little heart!
_____<br />
<br />
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff....bless your hearts, I hear they’re fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language!
_____<br />
<br />
Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fah-evah !<br />
<br />
There ain't no magazine named "Northern Living" for good reason. There ain't nobody interested in livin' up north, nobody would buy the magazine!
Now Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wish they had a’been! If you're a Northern transplant, bless your little heart, fake it.

the country. He started by RVing to
San Francisco and worked east from there. Going to a very large church,
he began taking photographs and notes. He spotted a golden telephone on
the vestibule wall and was intrigued by a sign which
read: "$10,000 a minute." Seeking out the Pastor he asked about the
phone and the sign. The Pastor explained that the golden phone was, in
fact, a direct line to Heaven and if he paid the price he could talk
directly to God. The man thanked the Pastor and
continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle ,
San Diego , Chicago ,
Greensboro , Tampa and all around the
United States , he found more phones with the same sign and got the
same answer from each Pastor.<br />
<br />
Finally, he and his RV arrived in Texas . Upon entering a church in
San Antonio, behold, he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the
sign read: "Calls: 35 cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the
Pastor.<br />
<br />
<span id="goog_1368294605"></span><span id="goog_1368294606"></span>"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each
church I have found this golden telephone. I have been told it is a
direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other
churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads
35 cents. Why?" </i></span></span><br />

</i><br />
<div>
<i>This is how it manifests itself:</i></div>
<div>
<i>I decide to water my small RV garden.</i></div>
<div>
<i>As I turn on the hose , I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.</i></div>
<div>
<i>As I start toward the storage shed, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that the manager brought by from the mail box earlier.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash bin under the table, and notice that the bin is full.</i></div>
<i>
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take the trash to the park dumpster first.
</i><div>
<i>But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.</i></div>
<i>
I take my check book
off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra
checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk
where I find the can of coke that I had been drinking.
I'm going to look for my
checks, but first I need to push the coke aside so that I don't
accidentally knock it over. I see that the coke is getting warm, and I
decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
</i><div>
<i>As I head toward the kitchen with the coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye: they need to be watered.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I place the coke down on the work surface, and I discover one of my 10 pairs of reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I set the glasses back down on the work top, fill a container with
water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone has left it on the
kitchen table.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking
for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I
decide to put it back in the chair where it belongs, but first I'll
water the flowers.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on
the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels
and wipe up the spill.</i></div>
<div>
<i>Then, I head toward the other end of the RV trying to remember what I was planning to do.</i></div>
<i>
<b>At the end of the day: </b></i>
<ul>
<li><i>The car isn't washed.</i></li>
<li><i>The bills aren't paid.</i></li>
<li><i>There is a warm can of coke sitting on the work surface.</i></li>
<li><i>The flowers don't have enough water.</i></li>
<li><i>There is still only one check in my checkbook.</i></li>
<li><i>I can't find the TV remote.</i></li>
<li><i>I can't find my glasses and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.</i></li>

This photo displays the possible outcome of such inbreeding and serves as a warning for pet owners to be cautioned when breeding their pets with other members of their pet family. The "Inbred Cat" below is a classic case. </span><br />

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.<br /><br />'You talk?' he asks. <br /><br />'Yep,' the Lab replies. <br /><br />After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?' <br /><br />The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young.<br />I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. <br /><br />In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.'<br /><br />'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. <br /><br />But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. <br />I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.' <br /><br />The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. <br /><br />'Ten dollars,' the guy says.<br /><br />'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?' <br /><br />'Because he's a liar. He's never been out of the yard' <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><u><b><br /></b></u></span>Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277193992961221521.post-17074857643881718862011-09-05T19:59:00.001-07:002011-09-05T19:59:36.698-07:00RV Dictionary-The Real Meanings<b>Found this online and wanted to share the lighter side of RV technology/terminology...</b><br />

Here's a reason why:</span></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">A
man in Topeka, Kansas decided to write a book about churches around
the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and worked east
from there. Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs
and notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><a href="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:97AEqKt0Lfx0kM:http://rushthecourt.net/mag/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/gold-phone.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:97AEqKt0Lfx0kM:http://rushthecourt.net/mag/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/gold-phone.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 126px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 118px;" /></a></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">and was intrigued by a sign which read: "$10,000 a minute." Seeking out the Pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. </span></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The
Pastor explained that the golden phone was, in fact, a direct line to
Heaven and if he paid the price he could talk directly to God. The man
thanked the Pastor and continued on his way.<br /><br />As he continued to
visit churches in Seattle , San Diego , Chicago , Greensboro , Tampa
and all around the United States , he found more phones with the same
sign and got the same answer from each Pastor.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /><br />Finally,
he arrived in Texas . Upon entering a church in Dallas , behold, he
saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read: "Calls:
35 cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the Pastor.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia;">
"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each
church I have found this golden telephone. I have been told it is a
direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other
churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads 35 cents. Why?"</span></span></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e6Mfzl0BmZQ/S65FEIfMHbI/AAAAAAAAAb4/gfIkTMW44qE/s1600/texas_continent-300x186.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453372136092343730" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e6Mfzl0BmZQ/S65FEIfMHbI/AAAAAAAAAb4/gfIkTMW44qE/s320/texas_continent-300x186.gif" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 186px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 300px;" /></a><br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;">A
rather old fashioned lady from New York, always quite delicate and
elegant, especially in her language, was planning a weeks holiday in
Texas with her husband, so she wrote to a particular camping ground and
asked for a reservation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #009900;">She
wanted to make sure that the camping ground was fully equipped, but
didn't know quite how to ask about the toilet facilities. She just
couldn't bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter. After
much thought, she finally came up with the old fashioned term "Bathroom
closet" but when she wrote it down, she still thought she was being too
forward, so she started all over again, rewrote the letter, and referred
to the bathroom closet as the B.C.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3366ff;">"Does the camping ground have its own B.C." is what she wrote.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Well,
the camping ground owner wasn't a bit old fashioned, and he just
couldn't figure out what the lady was talking about, so he showed
the letter around to a few of the campers and the only thing they could
come up with was that B.C. stood for Baptist Church, so he wrote the
following reply.</span><br />
<blockquote style="color: #38761d;">
<div align="justify">
<i><i><span style="font-size: 85%;">"Dear Madam,I regret very much the delay in answering<br />your letter, but I now take the pleasure of informing you that a B.C. is located<br />nine miles north of our camping ground, and is capable of seating 250 people at<br />one time.I admit that it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of<br />going regularly but no doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of<br />campers go there and many take their lunches along and make a day of it. They<br />usually arrive nice and early and stay quite late.</span></i></i></div>
<div align="justify">
<i><i><span style="font-size: 85%;">"The
last time my wife and I went was six years ago, it was so crowded we
had to stand up the whole time we were there. It may interest you to
know that there is a special supper planned there to raise money to buy
more seats so that everyone will be able to sit in comfort.<br />"I would like to say that it pains me very much not to be able to go more regularly, but<br />it is surely no lack of desire on my part, just that I am so busy most of the<br />time.As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort to go, especially in the<br />cold weather. If you decide to come down to our camping ground perhaps I could<br />go with you the first time you go, sit with you and introduce you to all the<br />other folks.<br />Remember this is a very friendly community.</span></i></i></div>

and Yvonne were 75 years old and had been married for fifty years and RVing for the last twenty.
Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they
carefully
watched their pennies while they stayed at their home park and took occasional trips to visit family across the country.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;">Though not young,
they were both in very good health, largely due to Yvonne's insistence
on healthy foods and walking the RV parks' nature trails for the last decade.<br />

5'er got hopelessly bogged down in an unexpected muddy hole along a
dirt road near San Antonio, Texas. After a few minutes, a passing
farmer drove by on his
tractor and offered to pull him out for only $20. After the 5'er was
back on dry ground, the RVer said to the farmer, "At those prices, I
bet you're pulling vehicles out of this mud day and night."<br />
<br />
"Can't," replied the farmer. "At night I haul water for the hole."</span>Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277193992961221521.post-41366514127781517112011-06-12T09:40:00.000-07:002011-06-12T09:47:38.818-07:00Identity Confusion<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: large;"><b><br />

"Excuse me, sir, but does your dog bite?" a neighboring camper asked. The RVer looked up over his newspaper and replied, "Nope."<br />
<br />
Yet when the camper approached the animal, it began snarling and growling, and then attacked his legs. After pulling away from the crazed animal, he yelled, "I thought you said your dog didn't bite!"<br />

The RVer muttered, "Ain't my dog."</span>Hidden Valley RV Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12552852191374253536noreply@blogger.com0
