Hobe Sound Choir
Last Sunday, April 20, I drove over to Pell City, AL to hear the Hobe Sound choir. Several of my family members were also able to attend. My cousin, Joyce, was once again in the choir this year.
The choir did a great job and it was good to see some old friends as well.

Sasquatch
This past Saturday, I was summoned to Memphis to meet with my boss, his assistant, and a few others. We met at Big Foot Lodge in downtown Memphis. That is where I met "Sasquatch." I have never seen such an enormous burger in my life! It measured approx. 7-8 inches in diameter. It only cost $19.99 + tax. I took the following from their website:
"If you can finish the "Sasquatch" Burger in 60 minutes, without aid from others, you get the burger for free! You also get your picture on the Hall of Fame!
FAQ
How big is the Sasquatch burger?
Our Sasquatch Challenge Burger is 4lbs of fresh ground-chuck, two pounds of our custom made hamburger bun, and one and a half pounds of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and cheese...SEVEN AND A HALF POUNDS TOTAL...but the fries are optional.
How do you cook the Sasquatch and how long does it take?
We use 80/20 ground chuck then we cook and season it exactly the same way we do our regular burgers it just takes a whole lot longer about 40 minutes longer in fact."

Alabama
A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked.
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.
"You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.
"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!"
Louisiana
A senior at LSU was overheard saying... "When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana .." When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world.
Mississippi
The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"
Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?"
The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got his license number."
Georgia
A Georgia State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-75. The trooper asked, "Got any I. D.?"
The driver replied, "Bout whut?"
North Carolina
A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it.
Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.
The man replied, "I have a flat tire."
The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"
The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. Hey, it don't make sense to me neither."
And this from South Carolina
"You can say what you want about the South, but I ain't never heard of anyone retiring to the North!
