    How is that Coloradan festival doing now? Is it still able to be held despite this pandemic?

    The following joke requires a preface for some who read it. I know that any ethnic group can be part of the Jewish faith. Try not to let that get in the way:

    An old woman approaches a man of obvious Asian extraction and asks him, “Excuse me, Sir. Are you Jewish?”

    “No, Ma’am; I’m Japanese.”

    Not satisfied, the woman says, “Really? You truly are not Jewish?”

    “Madam, I told you – I’m Japanese.”

    “Are you SURE you’re not Jewish?”

    The man looks heavenward and throws his hands up in despair. “All RIGHT, Lady! I’m Jewish!”

    That’s odd,” she says. “You certainly don’t look Jewish.”

    Ferrets may be destructive in the wild, but they make great pets. They arguably have more personality than any other pet.

    I take my hat off to the geniuses who came up with the name “Frozen dead guy days” for the festival in Colorado. The sheer ingenuity is unbelievable.

    That dead guy looks like he was rendered by Robert Crumb!

    Rock balancing acts and black-footed ferrets are nature’s examples of its diversity and wonder. Frozen dead guy as guest host at a party? Have to hope they didn’t decorate him with candles.

    It is important that we ferret out the truth about these things.

    Take care, may volunteer chandelier duster Marlene “Sniffy” Gufford be with you, and gesundheit.

    Pivot Rock in Arkansas is secretly held from behind by Darryl, aka bigfoot.

    Elizabeth Ann is hoping for a boy.

    This year Ole is hoping for a warmer reception.

    Would it be possible to clone wooly mammoth dna with an elephant? That would be cool.

    I hope my ethnic story doesn’t offend any more than our Jewish, Italian, or Asian jokes! Well here goes…a young African American man is standing on a corner waiting for the light to change and for what ever reason he mutters out loud “Lord”! A voice comes out of the sky and says “Yes you called?” The puzzled and somewhat startled young man says “Who is that?” The voice says “It is I, the Lord, how can I help you?” The man says “If you really are the Lord, I have some questions!” The Lord says “Ask and I shall answer!” “Well says the young man, Now understand I am not complaining but, why did you make my hair like this?” The Lord responded “I gave you course hair so that it wouldn’t become entangled in the thick brambles of the jungle!” “Hmmmm…OK.” says the young man. He continues with “well then why did you give me such long, skinny legs?” “So that would be able to chase and catch your prey in the jungle!” “Oh yeah…I guess” “Lord why did you make my skin so dark?” “I gave you a dark complexion so that you might endure the equatorial heat in Africa!” “Really?” “One more question Lord.” “Yes, my son said the Lord”“What the hell am I doing in Cleveland?”What the hell am I doin hangin round here! See ya later! Joe out!

    The real mystery is why someone named a ferret ‘Elizabeth Ann’.

    You need a 24 hour guard on Pivot Rock, or some a**hole will deliberately tip it over.

    In 2013, some men deliberately toppled a balancing rock in Utah. They put a video of it on YouTube. They agreed to a plea deal where they avoided jail or prison time, but had to pay thousands of dollars.

    Why is “ten times smaller” easier to understand then “one tenth”? I don’t understand.

    No such as “Ten Times Smaller” One-tenth, people! Explain how something can be something times smaller.

    “Ten Times Smaller” is imposible. -“One Tenth the size of its top” is the actual fact.

    It’s NOT ten times smaller.It’s one tenth the size.That is how you compare the size of something to another thing that is larger.
