Anyone a fan of the radio show "A Prairie Home Companion"? Paul & I routinely listen to it on the weekends & enjoy the hokey but clever skits. This weekend was their joke show. If you missed it, or aren't a fan, well....what can I say? Your loss. You could have learned a variety of new things. Like......Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom?
---Because the P is silent.
What do you call a nun who sleep walks?
---A Roamin' Catholic
What's the first thing the doe said when she walked out of the woods?
---"That's the last time I do that for two bucks!"
What did the boy rabbit say to the girl rabbit?
---"This won't take long, did it?"
What did the nun say to the priest when he asked if he could kiss her?
---"Well, as long as you don't get into the habit."
A pony walks into a bar & orders a beer.
The bartender says, "What's that? I didn't hear you."
The pony says, "Sorry, I'm a little horse."

Now, on to other matters of importance: the proper use of LOL. It has come to my attention that some people misuse this common acronym. In it's original & true meaning, LOL is "laughing out loud". As in, ha ha. But meant with a little more fervor than ha ha. I'll be honest, LOL isn't one of my favorite acronyms, but it can be useful at times. The problem in it lies in it's misuse. A minority of people use it to mean "lots of love." This can be potentially disastrous to an online/texting relationship-- especially when the author intends "lots of love," but the reader sees "laughing out loud." Some examples of tragic miscommunication:
