Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to ride in that there airplane." And every year Edna would say, "I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said, "Edna, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance." Edna replied, "Fred that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."
Fred and Edna agreed and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his tricks over again, but still not a word.
They land and the pilot turns to Fred, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."
Fred replied, "Well, I was going to say something when Edna fell out of the plane, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

Bradley wakes up from a dizzying sleep with a massive headache and notices he's lying in a hospital bed. There sitting beside him is is wife Janelle. Bradley motions for Janelle to come near. As she leans in toward him, Bradley whispers "I want a divorce".
Janelle is utterly shocked. She's sure it's the medicine making him speak nonsense.
"Oh Bradley, you're not thinking clearly," she says. "You're on lots of pain medicine from your fall. The doctor said you might be a little out of it when you first wake up. It's ok honey, just rest."
"No," whispers Bradley, "I'm thinking very clearly, and I want a divorce. Now".
Shocked again, Janelle says "I thought we had a good marriage?"
She begins to recount all they'd been through together since they'd first gotten married...
"Didn't I study with you over & over when you kept failing your bar exam back when you were trying to get that law firm job?"
"Wasn't I by your side when you got hit by the garbage truck?"
"Didn't I nurse you back to health when the swarm of bees attacked you while we were on that walk?"
"Who was there by your side when your surgery had complications and you were in the hospital for 2 weeks?"
"Wasn't I the one who sat by your side when the doctor first diagnosed you with cancer?"
"Didn't I sit there by you every day while you went through chemo and were deathly sick for months?"
"Who called 911 for you when your ladder collapsed while we painting the house together?"
"Who dragged your sorry butt outside when our house caught on fire that one night?"
"Who tossed you the life jacket when our boat tipped over that time you took me fishing?"
"Who was there clipping want ads from the paper when you lost your job?"
"Who slept in the tent with you for 4 months when we lost our house to foreclosure?"
"Why on earth would you want to divorce me after all we've been through together?!?!" Janelle asks.
"Because Janelle, you've brought me the worst luck of my life and we've only been married one year."
A husband is concerned about his wife's hearing, so he goes to his doc to ask for help. He explains to the doc about his concern, and the doc gives him some specific instructions to confirm his suspicions.
As instructed, the husband goes home and steps to the doorway of the kitchen where she is standing in front of the stove, back to him, cooking dinner. He asks her, "Hi Honey, what's for dinner?". No response. So, as instructed, he takes a few steps closer..."Hi Honey, what's for dinner?". Still no response, so he takes a few steps closer until he's right behind her. "Hi Honoey, what's for dinner?"
And she says, "For the third time, meatloaf you deaf ba$tard!!"
A man walks into a bar and immediately notices 3 big cuts of meat hanging from the ceiling. He walks up and asks the bartender about them. Bartender replies "that's our nightly game here, if you can jump up and hit one of those pieces of meat, you drink for free all night. But if you miss, you buy a round for everyone in the bar"
So the man looks up at the meat, looks around the bar counting up the patrons, and finally turns to the bartender and says, "nope, can't do it. The steaks are too high"
ComfortablyNumb - The horse with the long face is asked by the bartender "Would you like to get something off your chest?" The horse says "I could tell you a bit but I don't want to saddle you with my problems."
A guy walks into a bar with a live head in his arms and sets it on the bar next to him. A bit horrified the bartender asks, "What's this?" "This", replies the man, "is my son who was born without a body. Today is his twenty-first birthday and I want to buy him a drink." So the bartender puts up two drinks and the man pours one into the mouth of his son. POOF! A torso magically appears. Astonished, the man pours the other drink into the mouth of his son. POOF! Arms magically appear. The son says to the bartender, "Give me another drink." The bartender hands it to him and the son gulps it down. POOF! The son disappears entirely. Bartender looks at the perplexed father and says, "He should have quit while he was ahead."

The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One
The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!
The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.
The Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 is considered by the pros, and our team, to be the single best instant read thermometer. The MK4 includes features that are common on high-end instruments: automatic backlight and rotating display. Don't accept cheap substitutes.
Genesis II E-335

The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.
The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.
This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.
Digital Thermometers Are Your Most Valuable Tool And Here's A Great Buy!
A good digital thermometer keeps you from serving dry overcooked food or dangerously undercooked food. They are much faster and much more accurate than dial thermometers. YOU NEED ONE!
FireBoard Drive 2 is an updated version of a well-received product that sets the standard for performance and functionality in the wireless food thermometer/thermostatic controller class.
The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted
Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
