We have a new diet plan we are considering and it appears to be one that would really work. Tuesday, we stopped at the Minit Mart to get us a bite of lunch. While we were drooling over all the different slices of tasty pizza, Daryl Hammond came by, grabbed us by our arm and said, “you don’t need that, you need to look over here”, as he pointed to the tuna salad on wheat bread. After that we very quietly picked up our tuna and wheat, grabbed a diet coke and away we went.

We must say we felt much better as we left the store and even thought how great it would be if we had Daryl with us at every meal to direct us in the right manner.

As we were leaving the store,we glanced back and there was Daryl looking over the pizza counter with a big smile on his face. We couldn’t bring ourself to wait and see what he actually chose.....it better not have been that big slice of wonderful, tasty, dripping with cheese and sausage and covered with black olives pizza.

Maybe he won’t be there tomorrow.

Settling a Cow Case

A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher.

The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.

The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store.

The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.

After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn't resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the case.

The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"

The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning."
