MILWAUKEE – The theft of a 6-foot-tall anchor, possibly weighing 2,000 pounds from a Naval Reservist Station has many in the western Wisconsin city of La Crosse shaking their heads.
Not only are they asking why and how it was stolen, but they wonder why no one noticed for months, even though the anchor is in a residential area, facing a well-traveled street.
Tom Sweeney said the subject came up last Wednesday at a meeting of the Naval Reservist Oversight Committee, which he chairs. The committee, which owns the anchor, is planning a memorial at the station.
The city took possession of the building earlier this year after the station closed. It last had drills in 2006.
A committee member asked where the gray-blue anchor went, said Sweeney, a city councilman whose district includes the station.
“And I said, ‘What do you mean ‘Where’s the anchor’?'” he said. (more…)
One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him
it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, “I’m not
going.”
“Why not?” she asked.
I’ll give you two good reasons,” he said. “One, they don’t like me,
and two,I don’t like them.”
His mother replied, “I’ll give YOU two good reasons why YOU SHOULD
go to church. (1) You’re 59 years old, and (2) you’re the pastor!”
An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly
usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps.
“Where would you like to sit?” he asked politely.
“The front row please,” she answered.
“You really don’t want to do that,” the usher said. “The pastor is
really boring.”
“Do you happen to know who I am?” the woman inquired.
“No.” he said.
“I’m the pastor’s mother,” she replied indignantly.
“Do you know who I am?” he asked.
“No.” she said.
“Good,” he answered.
