    That’s why you can’t win a staring contest with a snake.

    I wonder if the stamps come in caffeinated and decaffeinated?

    You can only use those stamps if you’re writing letters in JavaScript.

    When an unpopular President completed his presidency, he wanted a special postage stamp issued with his picture on it.

    He stressed that it should be of international quality.

    The stamps were duly released and the former President was pleased. But within a couple of days of the release of the stamp, he began hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and he was furious.

    So he ordered an investigation into the matter. The investigator checked the problem out at several post offices and then reported it to the former President. The results revealed that there was nothing wrong with the quality of the stamp.

    The problem was that people were spitting on the wrong side.

    The Americano stamp is an express stamp watered down.

    Snakes don’t even try to blink.

    Since a certain serpent aficionado is no longer among us, I guess it is up to your friendly neighborhood zoologist to correct RBION. Snakes do blink, but instead of an eyelid that excludes light, their eyes are covered with a transparent nictating membrane that protects their eyes from dirt and debris

    Anyone remember when Frank Sinatra sang The Coffee Song? It was about how the coffee growers in Brazil had to find a market for all of those coffee beans. One of the verses went “A politician’s daughter was accused of drinking water and was fined a great big $50 bill. They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil”. However, I heard that the coffee bean crop in Brazil was not as good this year and coffee prices may go up as a result.

    Four rednecks are out deer hunting.

    After reaching the land where they will be hunting, they pair up and head in opposite directions.

    At the end of the day Cletus and Billy Ray are walking back to the truck empty-handed when they see Bubba emerge from the forest alone, dragging a very large buck behind him.

    “Where’s Junior?” Cletus asks Bubba.

    “Oh, he’s still up in the deer stand,” Bubba replies. “He had a heart attack.”

    “And you just left him there?” Billy Ray asks incredulously.

    “Dang right I did!” Bubba says. “Ain’t no one gonna try an’ steal him!”
