Joke Du Jour

One evening a man was very impressed with the meat entree his wife had served. "What did you marinate this in?" he asked. His wife immediately went into a long explanation about how much she loved him and how life wouldn't be the same without him, etc. Eventually, his puzzled expression made her interrupt her answer with a question of her own, "What did you ask me?" She chuckled at his answer and explained, "I thought you asked me if I would marry you again!" As she left the room, he called out, "Well, would you marry me again?" Without hesitation, she said, "Vinegar and barbecue sauce."

Incredibly Great News on the Economy and Commercial Real Estate

Fracking and horizontal drilling have changed the whole energy picture of the United States. Insteading of being the world's largest energy importer, the U.S. is now a net energy exporter! America is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. We're finding it everywhere and in such enormous quantities that the price of natural gas has fallen through the floor.

Low natural gas prices give U.S. heavy manufacturers an enormous cost advantage over Japan and Europe. A study released this week by the Boston Consulting Group estimates that 5 million heavy manufacturing jobs will migrate back to the U.S. in just the next eight years! This is why the stock market is ignoring the bad news from Europe. Commercial real estate will also greatly benefit.

Sikh Joke

A Sikh-American shares this amusing story: My father and I belong to the religion of Sikhism. We both wear the traditional turban and often encounter strange comments and questions. Once, in a restaurant, a child stared with amazement at my father. She finally got the courage to ask, "Are you a genie?" Her mother, caught off guard, turned red in the face and apologized for the remark. But my dad took no offense and decided to humor the child. He replied, "Why, yes I am. I can grant you three wishes." The child's mother blurted out, "Really?"

Magnet Joke

Miss Jones had been giving her second-grade students a lesson on science. She had explained about magnets and showed how they would pick up nails and other bits of iron.

Wake-Up Call Joke

Here's a little tip from me to you as an experienced traveler. Wake-up calls are the worst way to wake up. The phone rings, it's loud and you can't turn it down. I leave the number of the room next to me. It just rings very quietly and you hear a guy yell, "Why are you calling me?" Then you get up and take a shower. It's great.
