Conversing on the Golf
Course:
Two older guys were playing a round of golf
on a sunny summer day. Suddenly, one man told the other: My Word!
There seems to be something stuck in your ear.
Surprised, the other man reached up and pulled a 'supposatory from his ear lobe.

On
a newly opened golf course, several years ago in Mount Hope,
my husband and I played at a reduced cost.
Mid-way, through the 18 holes, we sat on a bench to wait for a couple men
ahead of us to play.
As could be expected, one of them had to search for his golf ball
which landed in the nearby woods.
Patiently awaiting their move to the following tee, I asked over the distance:
Did you guys lose your balls?

For these political negotiations, thanks to one of my faithful readers.

The Atlas Moth has protrusions at the tips of its wings
that resemble a snake's head posed to attack!

Here,
Mom! Come and See these Baby Rattles!
He knows I have an abhorence and fear of snakes, so I
hesitated.
Convincingly, he assured me the wooden cage, about 4 feet tall,
would be safe for me to view.

Cautiously, walking toward him...and with smile upon his face, I trusted him.
Leading me to this bin, reluctantly I looked inside:
It was a cluster of colourful rattles...ribbon-tied
