FRIENDS WENT ON A PICNIC AND DECIDED TO CLIMB UP
THIS BLUFF. THERE WERE TWO WAYS UP--THE LONG WAY
AROUND OR UP THE FRONT. THE OTHERS WALKED AROUND
BUT THIS FRIEND DECIDED TO PROVE HE WAS A MAN
MARINE STYLE (HE'D JUST GOTTEN OUT OF THE MARINES)
AND GO UP THE FRONT. SO HE CLIMBED UP THE FACE
OF THE CLIFF BUT HE RAN OUT OF WEDGE--AND THEN HE
SLIPPED OFF THE WEDGE HE WAS ON AND THERE HE WAS
HANDING OUT ON A ROPE. SUDDENLY, HE GOT THIS
TERRIBLE URGE TO KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY SO HE LET GO
OF THE ROPE. HE LANDED ON HIS KNEES JUST A FEW
FEET BELOW ON A LEDGE HE HAD'NT SEEN. HE DECIDED
RIGHT THEN THAT HE WOULD BE A MINISTER.

ONCE THERE WAS A FARMER WHO HAD A HUGE, HUGE PATCH
OF WATERMELONS. HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR JUST LOVED
WATERMELONS, BUT THE FARMER HARDLY EVER GAVE HIM ANY,
THOUGH. THERE WAS A HAUNTED HOUSE UP THE STREET AND
ONE DAY THE FARMER TOLD THE MAN THAT IF HE SPENT THE
NIGHT IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE THAT HE'D GIVE HIM ALL
THE WATERMELONS HE WANTED. THAT NIGHT THE MAN SLEPT IN
THE HAUNTED HOUSE. HE WENT IN THERE AND HE SAW A
WHOLE BUNCH OF ROOMS. HE PICKED OUT ONE TO SLEEP IN,
HE STARTED TO GO TO SLEEP WHEN HE SAW TWO BIG EYES.
HE GOT HIS GUN AND SHOT AT 'EM. OUCH! HE FLEW FROM
THE BED OUT THE DOOR AND DOWN THE STREET. AS HE
WENT BY HIS NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE HE CALLED, "YOU CAN
FORGET ABOUT THEM WATERMELONS."
