humor: Can Iowa Winters Be Fun? - 02/24/08 04:20 PM
Over a year ago I did a post about how You Might Be A Real Estate Agent... based upon Jeff Foxworthy's humorous look at life and how it may pertain to our profession.
Iowa Winters are well known for being, um, interesting to say the least! When I wrote Davenport Iowa Gets Another 2.7"!, it was my attempt at showing the rest of America another glimpse of what winter is like in Iowa.
When I wrote Iowa gets hit again...this time it's snow and ICE! and Thousands Without Power As Outages Continue in Iowa! and 7,000 without power for a week!!! it was ugly!!! Over 75,000 initially lost … (16 comments)

humor: Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? (Part 2) - 02/04/08 07:03 PM
My first post about puzzles was:
Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? How About A Pre-Schooler?
I hope you enjoy this one as well!
(It's okay to use a calculator)
PUZZLE:
There are 7 girls in a bus
Each girl has 7 backpacks
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats
For every big cat there are 7 little cats
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
This is a real math problem (so don't say that a bus has no legs)!
Whoever gets the correct answer first wins a prize!
Have fun!
Lucky :)

humor: Navy Pilot - 02/03/08 04:57 AM
During a commercial airline flight a Navy Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a baby in arms.
When her baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing her infant as discreetly as possible.
The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related articles.
When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, 'Gosh, that's a good looking baby...and he sure was hungry!'
Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said breast feeding would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.
The Navy Pilot sadly shook his head, … (8 comments)

humor: Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? How About A Pre-Schooler? - 01/13/08 05:47 AM
Forget about the fifth graders out there, we have new competition!
See how you do with this Pre-Schooler's Test!
Which way is the bus below traveling?
To the Left.......or to the Right?
Have you figured it out yet?
Are you sure?
Look carefully at the picture again.
Still undecided?
Pre-Schoolers from all over the United States were shown this picture and asked the same question. Over 90% of them answered, "It is traveling to the LEFT!"
Can you figure out why?
Still confused (as I was)?
When asked why the bus is traveling to the left the Pre-Schoolers answered, "Because you can't see the door to get on the bus!"
Have our lives become … (28 comments)

humor: Iowa Football "News" Story - 12/15/07 12:04 PM
Ferentz House Egged Last Night The Johnson County Sheriff's Office is reporting that Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz's house was the target of some minor vandalism last night.

Iowa's starting quarterback Jake Christensen is being questioned in the incident.

humor: Colonoscopy: Not a Funny Subject.......or IS it? - 12/15/07 09:24 AM
A Colonoscopy, according to Wikipedia, is an examination that the end results could be multiple diagnoses including the dreaded colon cancer. With it being the 3rd most common form of cancer and the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world, it is no laughing matter!
SO....stop right now and pick up the phone for your next appointment!
Here are some fun things to say to your doctor while you're there:

humor: You Can Make A Difference........ - 09/26/07 07:37 PM
There are times in this world that stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing is good. Times like these you can really make a difference in someone's life. You also get the side effect of really feeling great, a sense of accomplishment. Then you have the other times. The times when you maybe should've just left well enough alone. Once upon a time.......
A Kansas cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates."Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peterasked."Well, I can think of one thing," the cowboy offered. "Once, on atrip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang ofbikers, who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leaveher alone, but they wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest andmost heavily tattooed biker and smacked him in his face, kicked his bikeover, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled,"Now, back off!! Or I'll kick the #$%$)@ out of all of you!"
St. Peter was impressed, "When did this happen?"
"Just a couple minutes ago..."

humor: You Might Be A Real Estate Agent... - 11/19/06 05:43 AM
Jeff Foxworthy's "...you might be a red-neck" routine is hilarious! Let's have some fun with our profession.
Here's a start:
1) If you fill up your gas tank in the morning and your gas gauge is tilting towards "E" my noon...you might be a real estate agent.
2) If you come home from work and your dinner has been sitting on the table cold for 6 hours...you might be a real estate agent.
3) If you know what CMA, BPO, CRS, GRI, SRES, ERC, NAR, ABR, e-PRO, LA, BA (did I forget any?) stand for...you might be a real estate agent.
4) If you're driving down … (21 comments)

humor: What is one of the funniest things that has happened to you in real estate? - 11/13/06 08:04 AM
Has there ever been a time when you were involved in a real estate endeavor and thought you were on Candid Camera?
Did something really humorous happen to you in real estate?
About 25 years ago something happened to me that has never happened since...I was speechless! Most of my friends know that I love to talk. They know that inviting Lucky to their party will liven things up! I've never shied away from strangers, dangers, politics, religion, TV cameras, and headlines in the newspaper or pretty much any other "taboo". I love to tell jokes...by the way...how many animals did Moses load on the … (1 comments)
