Parachuting:
On our first day of training for a charity parachute jump, the instructor made an important point. "Start preparing for landing when you're at 300 feet."
One student asked, "How do you know when you're at 300 feet?"
"A good question. At 300 feet, you can recognize the faces of people on the ground."
She thought about this for a moment before saying, "What happens if there's no one there I know?"

Very nice pictures Sam. My favorite is the old bridge. Is it near Fort Worth? Sunrise or sunset?

Hi Sam, great humor. I see you and your niece share a sense of humor. Suppose it's a "family" thing. 
Keep'um coming!

How about a separate category, ie: Birds, etc? Maybe that would help the mental health of those who find them objectionable. Who knows? :)

Pie Punny
In Jamaica you can buy a steak and kidney pie for $1.75, a chicken and mushroom pie for $1.60 and an apple pie for $2.15.
In St Kitts and Nevis, a steak and kidney pie will cost you $2, a chicken pie (without mushrooms) is $1.70 and a cherry pie can be yours for $1.95.
In Trinidad and Tobago, that a steak and kidney pie comes in at $2.50, but you can get two for $3.50, while the chicken and mushroom pie is $2.25, or two for $3.25. They also offer a meat and potato pie for $2 and two for $3. Their apple and cherry pies are often sold for $2.75 or two (any combination) for $4.75.
Those are the Pie Rates of the Caribbean!
Isn't that terrible?!?!?!

Gosh Sam, what more can I say that hasn't already been said. Your post was great with a fantastic message. Your posts always make me smile and sometimes laugh out loud. So I'll repeat what so many have said; Happy new year to you and yours in this year and for many years to come.

A big "THANKS" to everyone who commented on my barber joke. Sorry I haven't answered all but it has been a bit hectic around here lately. Sadly, more on that later. Thanks again.

Every Saturday, this man goes into his barber shop. So this one Saturday he told his barber that he was going to Rome.
The Barber asked what flight he was going to take. The man responded "A-1."
The barber yelled, "A-1!? Are you crazy?! That plane's food is horrible! And, you'll never get a wink of sleep 'cause the engines are so noisy!"
After a moment of silence, the barber politely asked, "What hotel are you staying at?"
The man replied, "The Grand Hotel."
The Barber again yelled, "Why are you going there?! The place is infested with roaches, and the mattresses are as hard as a rock!"
Then after another moment of silence, the man said, "Oh, and guess what I'm going to do!?"
"What?" asked the barber.
"I'm going to see the pope!"
The barber literally screamed, "You'll never get to see the pope!! No one ever gets to see the pope up close!"
Two weeks later the man came back and said that the plane and the hotel were great. The barber was astonished.
The barber asked if the man got to see the pope up close. The man stretched his arms about 2 feet a part and said, "I got to see the pope and I was this far away and he talked to me personally."
"No way," the barber. "What did he say to you?"
"Where'd you get the dumb haircut?" the man replied.

One day a Viking named "Rudolph The Red" was looking out the window when he said: It's going to rain.
His wife asked: How do you know?
He answered: Because Rudolph The Red knows rain, dear.
Happy holidays and a great new year,
Gene

Very good Sam. May I call you Sam? It saves seven strokes on the ole keyboard and at my age, 91, every little bit helps.
I really enjoy and look forward to your posts, your sense of humor is very much like mine.
Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year to you and yours and say hello to Fort Worth for me. We lived there, in the Wedgwood section, many years ago and loved it.
Cheers, Gene
