Ron Yantz Hi Terry! Have you been keeping the plane right-side up? Some of the wind gust around these parts were nasty... Wow! Did you see how many people Cindy P/J had to deal with for the sale? What a group of workers that family is.

A father and son went hunting together for the first time. The father said, "Stay here and be very QUIET. I'll be across the field."

An hour later, the father heard a bloodcurdling scream and ran back to his son. "What's wrong?" the father asked. "I told you to be quiet!"

The son answered, "Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered across my feet. I was quiet when the bear breathed down my neck. I didn't move a muscle when the skunk climbed over my shoulder. I closed my eyes and held my breath when the wasp stung me. I didn't cough when I swallowed the gnat. I didn't cuss or scratch when the poison oak started itching. But when the two chipmunks crawled up my pant legs and said, "Should we eat them here or take them with us? Well, I guess I just panicked."

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card by drawing a square --- I find that 5" x 5" is a good size. Divide the card into columns -- five across and five down. That will give you 25, 1" blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
synergy
strategic fit
core competencies
best practice
bottom line
revisit
take that off-line
24/7
out of the loop
benchmark
value-added
proactive
win-win
think outside the box
fast track
result-driven
empower (or empowerment)
knowledge base
at the end of the day
touch base
mindset
client focus(ed)
ballpark
game plan
leverage

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"

Testimonials from satisfied "Bullshit Bingo" players:
a.. "I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won." - Jack W., Boston
b.. "My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically." - David D., Florida
c.. "What a gas! Meetings will never be the same for me after my first win." - Bill R., New York City
d.. "The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us waited for the fifth box." - Ben G., Denver

Oh, BTW, the "farmer talk" I got to spring on them was "Trying to stop that main steam piping from moving with those supports is like trying to hold down a RHINO with Tinker-toys."

Steam flow has LOTS of dynamic energy, and these guys keep thinking the pipes should NEVER move. NOT POSSIBLE!!

This was my explanation for "why" we keep having a few welds crack on some horizontal supports for 24-inch steam pipes (this piping is NOT in the Nuclear-Safety-Related part of the plant, thank God). As long as the vertical supports never break, the PIPE doesn't GAS whether those supports are even there....

Ron Yantz Their 'panic-mode' caused me to completely miss lunch, so I'm as hungry as a BEAR right now. Things are calmer now, so I'm about to make myself scarce. Just thought I'd sprinkle a few Jokes for my friends to enjoy. I suppose the NUKE-FARMER stories are pretty entertaining as well, but the 'events' aren't so "fun" while I'm living them.... Take Care!!

Awesome Cindy!

Hey? You don't have any 'stragglers' left behind, do you? I'm in need of a new Bull (we had to put ours down this summer when the neighbor's bull fought him to near-death). We had good luck with a third-cross before, so I'm looking for something other than Angus this time. My cows all have some Holstein in them, and the Angus, of course. A third-cross-breed really seems to muscle them up on those (slightly) bigger frames!

16 REASONS WHY ALCOHOL SHOULD BE SERVED AT WORK...

1. It's an incentive to show up.
2. It leads to more honest communications.
3. It reduces complaints about low pay.
4. Employees tell management what they think, not what they want to hear.
5. It encourages car pooling.
6. Increase job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don't care.
7. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work.
8. It makes fellow employees look better.
9. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.
10. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.
11. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable.
12. Employees work later since there's no longer a need to relax at the bar.
13. It makes everyone more open with their ideas.
14. Eliminates the need for employees to get drunk on their lunch break.
15. Employees no longer need coffee to sober up.
16. Sitting "Bare butt" on the copy machine will no longer be seen as "gross".

Have a beer and send the truck to all of your friends!!!!!!

A group of blondes in a class at the University of Southern California were given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So they went out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures, and they're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the whole thing was just a mess.

A CORN-FED engineering student comes along, sees what they're trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, then gives the measurement to one of the blondes and walks away.

After the engineer had gone, one blonde turned to another and laughed. "Isn't that just like a dumb engineer? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length!"

Hello out there!

Cindy P/J, I think a Herd Sire would be awesome! I always like to have an "old Bull" around, as they don't take any shit from interlopers. I've had to replace my bulls three out the past four years for various strange reasons, so I "lost" my "old" Bull. Now I've got the youngest bull in the local area, and we always seem to have "other" bulls end up in our pastures. The last two years were the worst...
My favorite Bull was about nine/ten when we decided to start keeping replacement heifers, so we reluctantly sold him. When the neighbor's young bulls hopped over to "visit" my girls, that old bull would kick their asses. He kept one dumb-ass trapped in the pond for about three days!! I would feed him sweet grain by bucket right out in the pasture, and he loved me for keeping the Cows away while he ate. Of course the Girls all got their own sweet grain, too, but I treated him "special", so he would follow me to other pastures when necessary.

My only concern would be that I'm going to have ten first-time heifers, so the easier the calving, the better. However, since I know you've had dozens of firts-timers, I'll bet your herd sires are already great.

If You and Dave have some old gentleman who'd like to "retire" with thirty new ladies, let me know.

Michael Roe Martin Ron what was the name of the Bull of yours? the old one that kept a young bull in a pond for three days?

Cindy Pfingsten (Judd)

Ron...So are you needing a clean up bull for heifers and cows...or just heifers? WE kept two or three good looking young men out of our sale for replacement bulls for our own program...I talked to Dave for just a minute about your request...but to be truthful, we were both pretty brain dead after this past weekend!! Now he has spent the day trying to catch up! I promise I will get back with you.

03/09/09 07:33 PM	#3165
Jeff Marcy Just a quick note to say hello. I wish I had more time to chat. I check in from time to time and keep up on the lastest. Nice to see others on here too. Glad the sale went well for you Cindy. Hey Bill, are you ever going to return a letter to me? It's snowing here today so I don't want to hear anymore about Vegas. lol

03/09/09 07:45 PM	#3166
Jeff Marcy Holy crap, I just went back and read about all the bull &%*#@. I think I'm glad I don't live in the midwest anymore. lol I'm not trying to "shock" anyone with my opinion.
