Now, lighten up. I have two jokes.
The first is courtesy of my 8-year-old granddaughter.
What do you call a lazy kangaroo?
A pouch potato. Heh, heh, heh. Oh, come on.
Okay, my joke. How can you tell the difference between a fort and a fortress??
Simple. A fortress has breastworks. Old guy humor. If you don't get it, have a MATURE gentleman explain it to you.
As always, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. Happy Halloween.

P.S. One more thing. Not to self-promote, but I posted a piece in "Reviews and Essays", entitled "Karma". It got very good reviews, not like in "Loving Wives", but only 5 people read it. Not much traffic. I recommend it to my readers out there. (Not necessarily my fans, but you know who you are). I would appreciate any additional comments. Merci. The BEAR

While 2000 acres is a sizable parcel, who has a 27,000,000.00 dollar mortgage?
Very good story, coming from a rural background in Australia.
I get your joke about the kangaroo Lizzie
Great story! Even though the guy is rather dense, he has a good heart and ya just gotta love him!
It turns out that only one ticket was sold for Saturday's drawing.
You appear to be missing a word in this sentence, a rather important word.
It turns out that only one WINNING ticket was sold for Saturday's drawing.
Great story Bear. You’re definitely at the top of your game. Now turn another great Kenny Rogers song, Ruby, into a story.
WONDERFUL, 10 stars!! Everybody got theirs. Matt not only got money, he made sure the people he loved were taken care of, the kids got a real mommy that loved them, Matt got a real wife, and that wife loved her kids. Lucille got hers, too, the old slut still having to sell herself!
lol Author needs to go back to school for some additional math lessons. lol Somehow MC ended up with more money after paying off farm debt.
I enjoyed the story. Thanks. It is your world so all the rules are yours. In this world - the farmland seems a little over-valued (other than if it is in New Jersey or California and apparently some parts of North Dakota) and even then, with a 27 million dollar debt, there is no estate to split up.
Excellent story Backer, but you’re clearly no
high (or even low) finance guy; so, a couple bits: (1) investment bankers don’t invest individual’s money for them — that’s what brokers and financial advisors do. Investment bankers raise capital (money) for organizations, mostly corporations, in the public equity and bond markets; (2) no finance person worth their salt would recommend paying 37 percent in taxes — 13% more than is currently due)— a year in advance, that is before the gov claims the higher marginal rate. That’s leaving $1m on the table for the gov’t to just scoop up; keep it and get your own gain, which here would be about $1m (7% annual return).
Yeah, not bad. That stupid kept going thru my head tho.
That really annoyed me.
Look forward to your next yarn.
