Stolen, and morphed a little, from a comment posted to e-musings‘ request for jokes: Did you hear about the cowboy to whom everyone kept saying, “Get along little dogie.”? He bought a Dachshund. Today was a TurboTax day in the neighborhood. I was up at the crack of dawn, since I went to bed at … Read more
