JOKE:
An ambitious young boy, in need of money, decided to hire himself
out as a handyman-type. He began, door to door, canvassing a wealthy
neighborhood for work. He went to the front door of the first house and asked
the owner if he had any jobs for him to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch.
How much will you charge?"
The boy said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man
agreed and told him that the paint and ladders that he might need were in the
garage. A short time later, the boy came to the door to collect his
money.
"You're finished already?" he asked.
"Yes," he answered, "and I had
paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his
pocket for the $50.
"And by the way," the boy added, "that's not a Porch,
it's a Ferrari."

"The One That Got Away" by Shannon Dougall
Lunch hours here at HMF Express are often spent out by the
retention pond. Now that our not so friendly alligator has moved to another
spot, it's prime time for fishin'! You can imagine the "friendly competition"
among the employees, and side wagers have been known to occur.
 
To date,
the biggest catch was a large mouth bass estimated at 6 lbs. caught by Randall
Simpson. So the next time you're coming to Wilmington and you find yourself
driving East on I-40 around lunch time, give a wave as you drive by because
you'll probably see us out there trying our best to knock Randall off his
throne!
