It's not just the stock market that's been telegraphing "trouble"
aboutthe economy. The price of thoroughbreds has watched Wall Street's
gyrations. Yearlings that sold for an average of $27,295 in 1994
werefetching $54,506 in 2000. But recent sales have seen 20 percent

stable prices. (Daily Groaner)

I heard that when Marco Polo first opened the trade routes to China, he
was quite impressed with their rockets. Now, these weren't quite the
fireworks we now know, but they did shoot into the air, explode and make
some pretty patterns. Strangely, no matter where he went, there were
people who made fireworks, but he had trouble finding someone to
demonstrate them for him. "Not here!" they said. Very confusing. Until
ol' Marc came upon an ancient military fortification at the community of
Chu'Lai. Here, fireworks were launched every night, and Marc was very
impressed! But still he wondered, "Why here?" At the end of every week,
people came from great distances, bringing their own fireworks to
launch. So Marco Polo asked his guide why everyone came here to launch
their fireworks. Marc's guide replied: "Why honored Sir, we always set
off fireworks on the Forts of Chu'Lai"

It was a hot summer's day, and Luke was in the marina, having a few
beers aboard his boat, patriotically named the Fourth of July. He was
waiting for his friend, Opie, to arrive so they could go for a cruise.
Opie was late, unfortunately, because he had to pick up his wife from
her appointment with the obstetrician. Her examinations were cheap
because the doctor, a fellow named Juan, was Opie's cousin. Anyway, the
appointment went over time, and Opie was late getting to the marina.
Luke had been drinking all this time, and was feeling no pain. When he
saw Opie finally walking down the pier, he jumped up, staggered to the
side of the boat to wave to his friend, and nearly fell in! Opie got
there just in time to grab Luke. Thus, it was that O. B. Juan's kin,
Opie, saved Luke from falling to the dock side of the Fourth.

Unexpected cold snaps had destroyed the buds on my father's young peach
tree for two years in a row. This spring Dad was ready. He replanted the
sapling in a large box, mounted it on wheels, and put the tree in the
garage whenever the temperature dropped. One warm April day Dad was
wheeling the tree out into the yard and stopped to give our dog a drink
from the garden hose. A neighbor watched the scene with amusem*nt.
