the area for any sign of
Charlie. Jan. 7 (UPI) -- A dog miss-
ing for nearly a week in an Illinois community was finally located with help from a thermal drone.
Crystal Lake residents Kate Belmonte and David Nowak said their 2-year- old Bernese mountain dog, Charlie, went missing from their home on Dec. 30, and days of searching failed to turn up any leads.
The couple sought the help of Dog Gone Pet Recovery, which used a thermal drone to search
The team was assisted by a second drone operat- ed by Mike from SmithicAir, who finally located Charlie near Huntley and Ackman roads, about two minutes from the couple's home.
Belmonte said Charlie hid- ing in the tall grass in a park.
Charlie is now recovering from surgery on a broken leg and is expected to return home Tuesday.
Jeff had gone to propose to his girlfriend and returned home crying bitterly. "What happened, son?" his father asked, eagerly awaiting her response. "Did she accept?"
"No, she sure did- n't," sobbed Jeff. "When I told her what you advised me to say, she slapped my face and told me to get out."
"Did you begin by telling her what I told you to say, what I told your mother when she accepted my pro- posal? 'Sweetheart, time stands still when I look in your eyes.' Did you tell her that?" asked his father.
"Oh boy, Dad, did I got it all wrong," Jeff groaned. "I said, 'My dear, you have a face that would stop a clock!'"
"Suppose," says the old salt of a sea captain, test- ing his new recruit, "that a sudden storm springs up on your starboard
side. What would you do?"
"Throw out an anchor, sir," says the new sailor.
"And what would you do if another storm sprang up aft?"
"Throw out anoth- er anchor, sir," the raw recruit replies.
"Now," says the captain, "a storm springs up for- ward of the ship. What would you do this time?"
"Throw out anoth- er anchor, Captain."
"Hold on, hold on. Where are you getting all these anchors from?"
"From the same place you're get- ting your storms, sir," replied the new recruit.
He got to keep his job.
My wife has not spoken to me in three days. I think it has something to do with what happened on Sunday night when she thought she heard a noise
downstairs.
She nudged me and whispered, "Wake up, wake up!"
"What's the mat- ter?" I asked.
"There are bur- glars in the kitchen. I think they're eating the tuna casserole I made tonight."
"That'll teach them!" I replied.
Mrs. Cole, the science teacher, took her students out of school for a social experiment. They arrived at a farmhouse and she placed two buckets in front of a donkey – one filled with water and the other with alcohol.
The donkey drank all the water while leaving the alco- hol untouched.
Mrs. Cole asked the students, “What did you learn from this experiment?”
One boy replied, “One who does not drink alcohol is a donkey!”
