Lt Kurt Kruse
The commander of the Buellton office of the California Highway Patrol gave us more statistics about traffic accidents and deaths last week than most of us wanted to know. Especially the news that fatalities are up 300% over the prior comparable period. Fortunately that 300% translates to only six deaths, but that's still too many. The surprising news is that the new round-abouts have cut down serious accidents considerably. There have been numerous fender benders as people learn to navigate them, but the CHP is very pleased with them overall.

A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram." She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer. Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable." Skeptical, the operator asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?" The redhead replies, "She's a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'" - See more at: http://www.laughfactory.com/jokes/animal-jokes#sthash.AxSnLvko.dpuf
