15. The yearly cycle of nature
Had to quickly rush for the ipad … heard them all calling first before I could see them, suddenly they were flying over … apple logs about the picture (also must clean the windows outside):

It’s also mushroom season:

12. Blonde joke … Lucia B on Quora
A blonde sits down on a plane and starts to read her book but the guy sitting next to her, a lawyer, won’t leave her alone. Finally, he says to her, “Let’s play a game. I’ll ask you a question and if you can’t answer it, you owe me five dollars. Then you ask me a question and I can’t answer it, I owe you a thousand dollars.”
The blonde says, “Okay.”
The lawyer says, “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”
Without a word, the blonde opens her purse, takes out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to him. She then asks, “What goes up the hill on three legs and comes down on two?”
The lawyer thinks about this; he does an internet search; he calls his friends and asks them but he’s stymied and he hands the blond a thousand dollars. She puts it into her purse and goes back to reading. The lawyer says, “Hey! What’s the answer?”

12. Jewish/Catholic joke (you started it).
Told to me by an RAChD rabbi during a night exercise in BAOR.
A Rabbi and Catholic priest share a railway compartment on their way to an interdenominational conference. After a brief general chat, the priest asks the Rabbi if he would answer a personal question? The Rabbi agrees, and was asked if he had ever eaten pork, something forbidden in the Jewish religion. The Rabbi eventually admits that he had eaten pork, and then asks the priest to answer a similar personal question. The priest agrees to do so. The Rabbi asks if the priest has had sex with a woman after joining the priesthood, where he is expected to be celibate? A brief silence, then the priest admits that he had done so. The Rabbi leans forward and, softly, says, “It’s better than pork, isn’t it?” .
