Joke of the day
Posted by Keith Pritchard: Bottineau, ND
Nun in a taxi
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won’t stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: ‘I have a question to ask you but I don’t want to offend you.’
She answers, ‘My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about
everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.’
‘Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.’
She responds, ‘Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.’
The cab driver is very excited and says, ‘Yes, I’m single and Catholic!’
‘OK’ the nun says. ‘Pull into the next alley.’
The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
‘My dear child,’ says the nun, ‘why are you crying?’
‘Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied and I must Confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.’
The nun says, ‘That’s OK. My name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween Party.’

From Bob Hosmer (56):
To Gary Morgan— Gary, I haven’t adjusted to our culture either–and it’s a good thing. Keep swimming upstream; it shows that you’re alive.
We also know third culture life. We lived in Japan for 15 years and our kids are truly third culture. Our son never did adjust back to the states. He has been more years in Japan than the states, married a Japanese, has three children and one granddaughter.
I’ve always appreciated your sport skills. You were all around a superb athlete. Your brother, Dick, also was very good. I ran with him one evening through shanty town and all the way to San Haven on the dirt road that lead up that way. It wasn’t a race. It was a challenge to one’s stamina.
I find being anchored to the Unchanging One gives me the needed stability in our current post-modern culture.
Have a good day.

| I to had a hard time adjusting to coming back from living overseas ……….but I still say and always will we live in the most wonderful country in the world. I do agree with Gary M to a degree we need to start standing up and tell our government we love our freedoms including our freedom to have the TEN COMMANDMENTS IN OUR COURTS
GOD BLESS YOU …………BEV |
From LeaRae Parrill Espe (67):
Since we have had quite a few football stories lately, I wanted to let everyone know that the Bottineau Jr College (Forestry) is reinstating Football after nearly 50 years. September 20 will be the Homecoming game and they are inviting all former alumni to take part in activities. That will also be the weekend for Fall Festival and many activities are planned around the city. Coach Neil Arntzen headed up a committee for fundraising to get this program going again.
Folks,
I ran across this article in the 1982 Dunseith Centennial book about the deaths of Don & Bernice Johnson. A while back we had many replies from you folks addressing how Don & Bernice had touch your lives in many ways. Dick has continued their legacy with all of his community involvements and to us with all that he contributes. Through Dick, the Johnson family continues to be a pillar of the Dunseith/Rolette county community.

Dick Johnson’s reply to my message. Gary
Gary,
This story was in the newspapers all around the state when it happened,
but many folks probably don’t know what all happened in detail so it
wouldn’t hurt to post the article for them. It was a terrible time for
our small family for sure, but the entire community stood behind us
throughout the ordeal and we will never forget that. Red Paint filed an
appeal a couple years ago but lost so should be there for good. De
Noyer, I was told, was released after serving part of his sentence but
violated his parole and went back. I heard he died in a car wreck some
time later. Never did hear for sure. Thanks Gary!
Dick
My message to Dick. Gary
Dick,
I ran across this article in the Dunseith Book that I had not seen before. I know that it was a tremendous loss for you loosing both of your parents at the same time and in such a brutal way. Being an only child would have made it even worse. Reading this article, your parents were well loved and highly respected by the community. Their passing was felt by the entire community.
I’d love to post this, if it’s OK with you. If you rather I didn’t, I will totally understand. Please let me know.
Gary
