(All have been checked out and sworn to be true)
How DRY is it this summer?
A friend in Lubbock said he’d killed a mosquito that was carrying a canteen.
A man in Tulsa said the Tyson chicken farmers were giving the chickens
crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
On the Missouri River down near St Louis they caught a 20 lb catfish that
had ticks on it.
Just this week, a fireman in Tucson said he witnessed a fire hydrant bribing
a dog.
In New Mexico, Bible scholars contend that the last time some areas got a
quarter inch of rain was during Noah’s Flood.
In Wichita the City Park and Recreation Department said they were going to
only have two lanes in the city swimming pools open in August.
The drought in the Panhandle of Florida has been so bad for years that when
it finally did rain (a brief shower), one of the town’s residents was
outside. When rain fell on him it was such a shock that he fainted. They had
to throw two buckets of sand in his face to bring him to.
A TV anchor in New Orleans said the drought was so bad the Mississippi River
was only running every other day.
When I asked about the drought in the ‘Bible Belt’ in South Georgia, they
reported
~The Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling
~The Methodists are using wet-wipes
~The Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks
~The Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water
Now THAT is dry!
