John went to the local bank to borrow money for a new bull. The loan was made and Banker Bill, who lent the money, came by a week later to see how the bull was doing. John complained that the bull just feasted on his best pasture and wouldn't even look at a cow. The Banker suggested that he have a veterinarian take a look at the bull.

Next week, the Banker returned to see if the vet had helped. John really looked very pleased. "The bull has serviced all of my cows! He broke through the fence and bred all my neighbor's cows! He's been breeding just about everything in sight. He's like a machine!"

"Wow," said The Banker , "what did the vet do to that bull?"

"Just gave him some pills," replied John.

"What kind of pills?" asked The Banker.

"I don't know, but they got a peppermint taste."

During the Christmas season, drive safely, take a taxi !!

I would like to share a personal experience with my closest friends about
drinking and driving.
As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the
authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the years.
A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had a couple
of beers and several shots.
Knowing full well I may have been way over the limit, I did something
I've never done before ~ I took a cab home. Sure enough, I passed a police
road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it past.
I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise; as I have
never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it
now that it's in my garage.
