Signs warning of closed roadways are frequently ignored in rural Minnesota, so highway workers barely took notice when a woman drove past their sign and over the hill before she stopped at the trench they had dug in the middle of the road.

The workers explained the detour route to town, and she went on her way.

They were surprised, however, to see the same woman coming toward them from town a couple of hours later.

"Oh," she said distractedly as she pulled up next to the trench crew. "Is it closed in this direction too?"

To everyone that received a book from me for Christmas, they're due back at the library next Friday.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I was sorry to hear that Bob Saget, the host of America's Funniest Home Videos, passed away this past week. It bought back a flood of memories from a time when the availability and delivery of funny home videos meant gathering around a TV at home at the same time each week. The times have certainly changed!

Today's video is a nostalgic look back at the first episode of AFV. The situations in the videos are not that much different from today. However, the fashion, hairdos, and resolution of the day certainly are!

A recent bride called her mother one evening in tears. "Oh, Mom, I tried to make Grandmother's meat loaf for dinner tonight, and it's just awful! I followed the recipe exactly, and I know I have the recipe right because it's the one you gave me. But it just didn't come out right, and I'm so upset. I wanted this to be so special for George because he loves meat loaf. What could have gone wrong?"

Her mother replied soothingly, "Well, dear, let's go through the recipe. You read it out loud and tell me exactly what you did at each step, and together we'll figure it out."

"OK," the bride sniffled. "Well, it starts out, 'Take fifty cents worth of ground beef' ..."

So if a cow doesn't produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure?

"When in doubt, look intelligent!"

- Garrison Keillor

* Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is supposed to be doing.

* At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.

* When in doubt -- anything can be filed under "miscellaneous."

* Following the rules will not get the job done. BUT getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.

* If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

* If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

* Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.

* You are a successful assistant if you can keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

* No matter how much you do, you never do enough.

* People who go to conferences are the ones who don't understand the problem.

* The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong for the next six months. If you are clever, this can be extended to one year.

* To err is human; to forgive is not company policy.

* When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would Tonto explain this to the Lone Ranger?"

* When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
