Why are the Flyer's jersey's bright orange? So the
fans can wear it to the game on Saturday, to
hunt on Sunday, and to pick up trash on the

An alien spaceship hovered over a golf course.
Two aliens were watching a solitary golfer practicing on a golf course. This was a new golfer and
they watched in amazement. The golfer duffed
his tee shot, shanked his second into the rough,
took three to get out of the rough into the fairway, sliced the next shot into the bushes, took a
putter to get it out on the fairway again. One
alien told the other alien that he must be playing
some sort of game and they continued to observe
the golfer. Then the player hit a great shot into
a bunker by the green. He took several shots to
get out of the bunker and finally on to the green.
He putted several times until he finally got into
the hole. At this stage, the other alien told his
partner, "Wow, now he is in serious trouble".

Actual comments left on the U.S. Forest Service
comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips.
-Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.
-Trails need to be wider so people can walk while
holding hands.
-Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that
use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals.
-Need more signs to keep the area pristine.
-Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse.
-Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of
snow in the winter.
How many Vancouver Canucks does it take to
change a tire? One, unless it’s a blowout, in which
case they all show up.

BUSINESS FOR SALE IN
HOUSTON MALL.
CALL 250 845 3649
2 retired NHL players who are ~80 years old
are sitting on a porch. One of them turns to
the other and says, "Do you think there's
hockey in heaven?" The other says, "I don't
know. Why don't we make a deal to find out?
When one of us dies, we will find out if there
is hockey in heaven, then return as a spirit to
tell the other!" 6 months later, one of them
dies. The other goes to the wake, and is obviously upset. After it's over, he wanders home
with his head down, when suddenly he gets a
tap on his shoulder. It's the dead man's spirit!
"You're back!" he shouts in surprise. "Of
course I am," he replies, "we had a deal!" "So
is there hockey in heaven?" "There's good
news and bad news. The good news is, yes!
There is hockey in heaven. The bad news is
that you play next Tuesday."
