Daffodils will be arriving around March 20, spreading the message from the American Cancer Society. We'll be ordering bunches of 10 cut daffodils which are still only $10. And the popular potted flowers at $10. Call me at 926.4436 to order your 'Gift of Hope.'

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a 'bone-house' and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the 'graveyard shift') to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be 'saved by the bell' or was considered a 'dead ringer.'

There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
