Party Tip of the Week

Make sure you have a good time at your own party. Hire a neighborhood teen or a "help" service to clean up while your party is going on. That way you can stay out of the kitchen. It’s not as expensive as you think.

Party Joke of the Week

On a hot summer's day a country boy is pulling a wagon load of manure down a country two lane road in rural Alabama. The local sheriff (Bubba) pulls him over and starts to write him a citation. As the sheriff is standing next to the old boy's pickup some of the flies accompanying the manure wagon start to buzz him. He swats at the flies and cusses them. "Damn flies."

The country boy speaks up and says, "Them's circle flies. We calls 'em that cause back home on the farm they's always circling the horses ass."

"Boy, are you calling me a horse's ass?" asks the angered Bubba.

The country boy replies, "No sir, but you can't fool them flies."
