Top Ten Things You'll Never Hear a Dad Say

1. Well, how 'bout that?... I'm lost! Looks like

we'll have to stop and ask for directions.

2. You know Pumpkin, now that you're thirteen,

you'll be ready for unchaperoned car dates.

Won't that be fun?

3. I noticed that all your friends have a certain

"up yours" attitude ... I like that.

4. Here's a credit card and the keys to my newcar GO CRAZY.

5. What do you mean you

want to play football? Figure

skating not good enough for

you, son?

6. Your Mother and I are going

away for the weekend ...

you might want to consider throwing a party.

7. Well, I don't know what's wrong with your car.

Probably one of those doo-hickey thingies

you know that makes it run or something.Just have it towed to a mechanic and pay

whatever he asks.

8. No son of mine is going to live under this roof

without an earring now quit your belly-

aching, and let's go to the mall.

9. Whaddya want to go and get a job for? I

make plenty of money for you to spend.

10. Father's Day? aahh don't worry about that

The JugglerA driver was pulled over by a police officer for

speeding.

As the officer was writing the ticket, shenoticed several machetes in the car. "Whatare those for?" she asked suspiciously.

"I'm a juggler," the man replied. "I use those inmy act."

"Well, show me," the officer demanded.

The driver got out the machetes and started

juggling them, starting with three, then more,and then finally seven at one time. He juggledthem overhand, underhand, and behind theback, putting on a dazzling show and amazingthe officer.

As another car passed by, thedriver did a double take, andsaid to himself, "I've got togive up drinking! Look at thetest they're giving now."

Naming your child

There was a woman who was pregnant with twins, andshortly before they were due, she had an accident and

went into a coma. Her husband was away on busi-ness, and unable to be reached. While in the coma,she gave birth to her twins, and the only personaround to name her children was her brother.

When the mother came out of her coma to find shehad given birth and that her brother had named thetwins, she became very worried, because he wasn't avery bright guy. She was sure he had named themsomething absurd or stupid.

When she saw her brother she asked him about thetwins.

He said, "The first one was a girl."The mother: "What did you name her?!?"

Brother: "Denise!"

The Mom: "Oh, wow, that's not bad!What about the second one?"

Brother: "The second one was a boy."

The Mom: "Oh, and what did you name him?"

Brother: "Denephew."

Perfume

After being away on business, Timthought it would be nice to bringhis wife a little gift."How about some perfume?" heasked the cosmetics clerk.

She showed him a bottle costing $50.00."That's a bit much," said Tim, so she returned

with a smaller bottle for $30.00."That's still quite a bit," Tim complained.Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny

$15.00 bottle."What I mean," said Tim, "is I'd like to see

something really cheap."

The clerk handed him a mirror.

Injured andorphaned wildlifeare welcomed andcared for at SulphurCreek. This bright-eyed fledgling waslucky, many of theother victims of thesenseless cruelty atSR-1 didnt make it.

Surviving Swallows ReleasedSulphur Creek Nature Center informed us that the

surviving baby birds, left by vandals in the small club-

house after the break-in the first

weekend in June, have been

released back to the wild.

Hello Jeanie,I've just finished reading the story about the baby birds

that were stolen from their nests and was compelled towrite to you. I am stunned and beyond angry that some-one without a soul and heart could do such a horrible act.Such innocent creatures, I just don't understand.

But, my intent of this e-mail is for positive thoughts. Iknow that fencing in the area around the under bridge isnot something that is possible, so then my thoughts turnedto how to guard the nests, but then I also realize there isno way of guarding the nests from being vandalized again.So, unfortunately my thoughts are now to keeping theparent birds away so they can find another area that issafe for them to raise their babies. Is it possible to putsome type of spikes or something else to keep the parentsfrom being able to build their mud nests under the over-

pass? Can you contact Sulphur Creek or Animal Controlto find out if something can be installed?Can you please follow up in the next newsletter on the

condition of the babies that were brought to SulphurCreek?

I hope that Karma comes around and revisits the perpe-trators 10 times over!

Thank you, Yvonne Buff

Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post

in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this coun-

try has ever known. Enjoy the following:1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman

neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it

and put it back in your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by

reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of

them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for

themselves.9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of

that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back

every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n

puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so

good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came

along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull,

keep your mouth shut.

The Mobile Home Board publications informs and pro-motes the mobile home system; residents, managementand those that serve the mobile home community.

The Mobile Home Board publications are not politicaltools. They are a source of information and enjoyment forpark residents. To ensure this policy we have developedthe following guidelines:

Editorial Guidelines:

sending it to us in a form they want. Each editor mustallow all residents organizations and management to par-ticipate in the publication.

The publication is not to be used for disputes by eitherresidents or management. Mobile Home Park Magazinesmust remain neutral in all resident/management issues topreserve the integrity of the magazine. Not all residentsare on one side or the other of an issue. Since we do notresearch each story, we cannot use Mobile Home ParkMagazines to weigh either side of these very fragile rela-tionships.

Resident political organizations are asked to limit theirinformation to meeting notices and reports of chaptermeetings.

No listings of in-park-services (i.e. babysitting, handy-men, Avon, etc.)
