You can guess this conversation was with an older person

Went to church today to help with some cleaning. The fellow who was there using the sweeper let me know that the one we were supposed to be using had a broken belt, so I needed to use the new one.

Another fellow who is supervising the cleaning volunteers held the following conversation with Reub, the older fellow:

Byron: So you used the new sweeper?
Reub: Yeah.
Byron: Did it work well?
Reub: Yeah, it did. It really sucks!

If you don't see the humor, you aren't around teens.

I'm in trouble

I have three boys--two grown, by-and-large, and the other almost--and a girl. The girl isn't even a year yet, but I'm fielding crises like she's a teen. The crises are from my grown boys.

Astute

FOX News reporter covering Hurricane Dennis; said after choking on rain that went down his throat as he was reporting:

"One thing you should not do is stand outside talking during a hurricane."

NOW I understand why Rich switched to CNN. Between that and the botched "exclusive" from Election Decade 2000...

My next life

I will spend it herding cats. It has to be easier than trying to get all six of us in one place at one time for a family picture or for a birthday party; Heaven help us, we were trying to do both on the same day.

A pet peeve

Will someone tell these folks with firecrackers that the Fourth of July is only one day long.
