๐Ÿ˜‚Joke of the Day๐Ÿ˜ฒ

A teacher told her young class to ask their parents for a family story with a moral of the story at the end of it and to return the next day to tell their stories in the classroom. 

     The next day Joe gave his example first. "My dad is a farmer and we have chickens one day we were taking lots of eggs to the market in a basket on the front seat of the truck when we hit a bump in the road the basket fell off the seat and all the eggs broke. The moral of the story is not to put all your eggs in one basket." 

     "Very good!" said the teacher. Next it was Mary's turn.

    "We are farmers too. We had 20 eggs waiting to hatch but when they did we only got 10 chicks. The moral of this story is not to count your chickens before they're hatched."

     "Very good!" said the teacher, again very pleased with the response so far. 

     Next it was Little Johnny's turn to tell his story. "My dad told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in the war and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. "

     "Go on," said the teacher intrigued. 

     So little Johnny continued, "Yeah Aunt Karen drank the whiskey on the way down to prepare herself, then she landed right in the middle of a hundred enemy soldiers. She dropped 70 of them with a machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she nailed 20 more with the machete until the blade broke, and then she dispatched the last 10 with her bare hands." 

     "Good Heavens!" stammered the horrifying teacher. "What did your father say was the moral of that frightening story?" 

     Little Johnny replied "Don't mess with Aunt Karen when she's been drinking!!"

Memory Lane

WNTS Digest - 10th 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!!
