A pastor was beginning his opening prayer.
"Oh Lord, without you we are but dust..."
Before he could get any furhter, a little girl turned to her mother and asked "Mommy, what is butt dust?"
Church was pretty much over at that point.
New Breed, Old Breed! It doesn't matter so long as it's the Marine Breed!
This is a story of two elderly people living in a mobile home park in Florida. He was a widower and she was a widow. They had known one another for a number of years. One evening there was a community supper in the Club House, and the widower and widow made a foursome with two other singles. They had a wonderful evening and spirits were high. The widower sent a few admiring glances across the table, and the widow smiled coyly back at him.
Finally, he plucked up his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"
After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes. Yes, I will."
The meal ended with a few more pleasant exchanges and they went to their respective homes.
The next morning, the widower was troubled. Did she say 'Yes' or did she say 'No'? He couldn't remember.
Try as he would, he just could not recall. He went over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank. He remembered asking the question, but for the life of him he could not recall her response. With fear and trepidation, he picked up the phone and called her.
First, he explained that he didn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As he gained a little more courage he then inquired of her, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?
"Why, you silly man, I said 'Yes. Yes I will.' And I meant it with all my heart."
The widower was delighted. He felt his heart skip a beat.
Then she continued, "And I am so glad you called because I couldn't remember who asked me."

Pretty impressive, Wes. There were other errors which you did not highlight. As a high school band director, I have often required students to have letters of recommendation in order to try out for drum major. You should see some of the "penmanship" displayed in them.

The highlights are from one of the parents, not myself.
She was going to go over it and highlight them all, then she just gave up and plastered it all over the internet instead.
Before you return from your business trip I just want to let
you know about the small accident I had with the pick up
truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too
bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too
much about me.
I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into
the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator
instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the
pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.
I am really sorry, but I know with your kindhearted personality
you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care
for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you.
