๐Ÿ˜‚Joke of the Day๐Ÿ˜ฒ

One sunny morning, a man and his wife find themselves in the somewhat sterile environment of a dentist's office. The couple is not known for their punctuality, and today is no different. They arrive in a whirlwind, appearing a tad bit flustered and very much in a hurry. The man, an avid golfer, addresses the dentist in an almost frantic tone. "Listen, doc, we're really under the clock here. I've got two of my best friends sitting out in my car. We're due at the town's most prestigious golf course for a 10:00 a.m. tee off. It's a long cherished tradition, and we can't be late. Oh, just look at the time. It's already 9." He pauses for a moment, running his hand through his hair as he continues. "We're cutting it too close. I really don't have the luxury of time to wait for the anesthetic to work." He bangs his fist on the arm of the dentist chair for emphasis and continues, "I've made up my mind. Just forget about the anesthetic. Let's get this over with. Pull out the troublesome tooth quickly and we'll be on our way." 

     The dentist is taken aback. This is the first time he has ever encountered such a request. The man must surely possess a remarkably high pain threshold to volunteer for a tooth extraction without any painkillers. Intrigued and slightly impressed, the dentist decides to proceed. As for the man's request, however, he needs to know which tooth is the culprit. So, the dentist asks, "Which tooth is causing the discomfort, sir?" 

     Without missing a beat, the man turns to his wife and says, "Open your mouth, honey, and show him."

(Ba-dum-CHING!)

๐Ÿ•™Our Eleventh Year of Publishing the WNTS Digest ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Memory Lane

WNTS Digest - 11th Anniversary

I started writing The Digest in the third quarter of 2015. I was filling in as temporary General Manager until we could find a permanent one to take over the leadership of the store. I had some time on my hands and was kicking around how to fill it when I remembered an idea I saw in a hotel in Winslow, Az. called La Posada. (Wonderful hotel BTW) In the lobby, they had a chalk board and on it was some simple trivia that happened on that day as well as the weather forecast of sunny, hot, cold rainy or whatever the day was going to bring. I stole some of those ideas and came up with the WNTS Digest. As I was temporarily living at the time in Why, I would spend some time each morning putting together those trivia facts, weather, a cute Pet Picture of the Day from Freekibble.com and an ad hoc picture of something I talked about in the Digest. I would then print the two pages out and tack it to our Bulletin Board in front of the store. The two pictures to the left are from a copy of the Digest that was published in or around February 2016. Eventually we found a permanent GM and I went back to my home in Northern California. A few months later, I was asked to stand up a website for the store and because I didnโ€™t need to be at the site, I was able to do my work in California. When designing the site, I wanted to incorporate the concepts of The Digest. It had paused publication when I moved and here was an opportunity to bring it back in electronic form.  

So, over the years, I made a few changes to the format, but it still has the basic constructs I started out with. The โ€˜Weatherโ€™ report is now the 'Current Weather' and is displayed as a widget on both the Home Page and The Digest. We kept Today in History, Born on this Day, Today is (national quirky holidays), moved Pet Picture of the Day to itsโ€™ own page, which later became a contest for Pet of the Month. The static graphic that referenced something in The Digest became โ€œWhy Nutts!!โ€ and transitioned into a YouTube related video to something I referenced in The Digest. We added a โ€˜Quote of the Dayโ€™ but transitioned that into โ€˜Joke of the Dayโ€™ after I felt that the quotes were getting to bizarre, even for me.

And that is how we got here and looking for the next ten years!!
