farmers drought humor

    Several submissions for best drought jokes:
THIS SUMMER WAS SO DRY THAT:

    There was no water for a bath so we had to be dry cleaned

     Raccoons were carrying water to the sweet corn

     My neighbors weren't afraid to cut their hay the same day I did

     The devil bought a fan

     When grandma shuffled across the lawn she made a dust storm

     My cows gave evaporated milk

     Potato farmers had to market baked potatoes straight from the field
  
   The Lutherans have gone to using wet wipes for baptizing, the Methodists are giving rain checks, and the Catholics are praying to turn the wine back into water.

I hope you got at least one laugh out of those.  I have noticed that now with the current crop matured, and long range weather forecasts more optimistic, it is easier to joke about the drought that has caused disaster to so many of our farmers.  We need to keep out spirits up and humor helps.  We also need to remember our friends in the overseas hunger projects, our helping hands to them in their struggles is what keeps their spirits up.  There are many success stories among the projects and some that have tried to improve their situation but were knocked down by their own droughts.  Come to the Harvest Celebration on Oct 13th and hear more.
