One of the more difficult jobs we may do is working on a ranch. The days are long, and the weather is not always cooperative. Even working with the animals may be enjoyable, but that is hard work, and most people are not typically up to the challenge. In the following joke, we hear about a man who got hired as a ranch hand. He wasn’t necessarily the person you would first think of as taking on such employment, but he did a good job. That was, until he returned home late one night from a trip into town. A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay, and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied, she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk. He proved to be a hard worker who put in… CONTINUE READING…

The Marine’s Unexpected Adventure An old, blind Marine, who had recently retired after a distinguished career, found himself wandering into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He carefully made his way to a bar stool, feeling his way with his cane, and ordered a shot of Jack Daniels. The atmosphere was rough and rowdy, but the Marine, used to more intense situations, was undeterred. After a while, he decided to liven up the scene and called out to the bartender, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?” Instantly, the bar fell silent. The patrons exchanged uneasy glances, and the tension in the air was palpable. The Marine, completely unaware of the change in mood, began to tell his joke. But before he could get very far, a deep, husky voice from the woman sitting next to him interrupted. “Hold on there, cowboy. I think it’s only fair that you know a few things before you finish that joke.” The Marine, puzzled but intrigued, said, “Alright, lay it on me.” The woman, with a tone that brooked no argument, began to list the details: The Marine’s eyes widened as he took in this information. He glanced around at the formidable women… CONTINUE READING…

A 23-year-old woman called the police on her brother after he left his three children on her porch unattended. The brother got into big trouble, and his sister was blamed for ruining his life. A 23-year-old woman took to Reddit to share how her brother pushed her to do something she never thought she would. The woman said her brother, 27, was a father to three children, one five-year-old and three-year-old twins. However, whenever he needed a babysitter, he would assume his sister would be available without confirming with her first. The 23-year-old expressed how her brother often totally disregarded her plans and forced her to babysit her nephews and niece. Her brother pulled the same stunt again one day, but this time she was not willing to back down. She threatened to call the police, but the brother did not think his sister had it in her. Why Did She Call the Police on Her Brother? On this particular day, the 23-year-old was driving to her friend’s place when her brother called, telling her he was going to drop off the kids because he and his wife had plans. The sister told him she was not home and had already… CONTINUE READING…

One of the most spectacular archeological discoveries in recent years has been the recovery of a ship in a southwest African desert that went missing five centuries ago and had gold coins on board. The departure of a Portuguese warship from Lisbon took place on March 7, 1533. Its whereabouts remained unknown until 2008, when its bones were discovered while diamond mining along the coast of Namibia. As it traveled towards India, a strong storm caused it to capsize, taking riches such as copper and gold ingots with it. On board the ship, two thousand pieces of pure gold and tens of thousands of pounds of copper ingots were recovered, practically all of which were found intact. In addition to cash, the ship located in the desert held a large cargo. According to Dr. Noli, senior archaeologist of the Southern Africa Institute of Maritime Archaeological Research, the discovery of a shipwreck is not surprising, considering storms have recently been known to lash the beach. However, after only one week of digging, a treasure chest containing gold money was discovered, and the coins within revealed that it had originated from a Portuguese ship that had gone missing in 1533.The ship is… CONTINUE READING…

Nevertheless, after living a bachelor’s lifestyle for years, the thought of becoming a dad so fast – and to two children who weren’t his biologically – scared him. However, he was madly in love with his wife and was willing to sacrifice his alone time and a chunk of his salary to care for their daughters. Fast forward two years later, and the man revealed his ups and downs with his growing stepchildren. Sometimes he wished to return to his singlehood, but he’d later accept that this was his reality: “I fully know that this is my life now, and I try my best to suck it up and do what I signed up for.” Throughout their time together, the man never asked about his wife’s ex.
