The first weekend in June of every presidential election year The Tippecanoe Party goes to a mountain resort to pick a nominee to run for the office of President. All members have to put their name in or leave the party. There are five hundred and seven members. In the first round all the members put an egg in their pocket and run up a mountain. The first one hundred and forty that make it back with egg unbroken go to the next round. Then there is a tug-of-wag contest. This weans the number down to twenty . They are handed a beer stein filled with lemonade and then proceed to musical chairs. The last one grabbing a seat without spilling lemonade is the nominee. All of this makes a great deal more sense than the way some of the other parties chose a nominee. God bless America.

A Man
A man went to the Super bowl. When he found his seat he noticed an empty seat next to an older man. He asked the man why there was an empty seat. "My wife and I had tickets, but she died before she could use hers."
"I'm sorry. Wasn't there a friend who could have come with you?"
"I called everyone,", the man said. "They were all busy."
"What? Not one friend could come with you? What were they doing?"
"They were going to the funeral," the man said.
