Dear Neighbor:I have great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 12years old. Allow me to explain...Every year, the months ofJanuary, February, & March can be slow for my business. Iemploy great people and want to keep them working duringthese long, slow months. That is why I’ve come up with aWin Win Situation for both of us.

Every year, the big manufacturers of furnaces & air conditioners guess how many to build to meet the demand.Of course, they’re never exactly right. So, they always havesome inventory that they must hold over until the next summer season. I went to one of these companies andcontracted for the purchase of twenty-two Deluxe furnacesand air conditioners in the four most popular sizes used inKane County. And, because of the quantity and time ofyear, I was able to buy them at drastically reduced prices.

They are brand-new Deluxe Models. They are NOT the seconds or “blems” or standard “builder” models. They arefactory-fresh furnaces and air conditioners and have a full10-year factory warranty.

How To Get A Furnace For PeanutsIf you are interested in a new heating/cooling system (butonly if one of the four sizes I have will fit your house, ofcourse), I am “giving” you the furnace and all I ask for is the $941 in labor & material costs for instalation.

Perfect Fit For Your HomeI will come out and measure your home (and determinethe availability of the proper size). Don’t forget, I only have

663300--226622--88448844*With approved credit. Ask for Details. **With high efficiency upgrade.

Warmly,

22 matched Deluxe Systems in four sizes. When they aregone, this remarkable offer ends also. Just call 630-262-8484.

Absolutely No ObligationAfter I completely explain the installation, there is absolutelyno obligation. If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of the spectacular savings... That’s OK.

You Can Buy With NO Cash*You don’t even have to pay me right away. I have set up a terrific 0%* payment plan.

Fuel Efficiency Guarantee**I’m so confident that you will save at least 25% on your heating and cooling bills (I’m projecting more like 30%), that I will pay you the difference for a year if you don’t! I’llshow you exactly how this works. If these heating and air conditioning systems were not among the best on themarket, I couldn’t afford to make such a promise.

Why This Offer Can’t LastI only have a few of each of the four sizes. When all of the airconditioners are sold and all the furnaces are “given” away,that’s it. There are no more at this price. Call Bre now at(630)262-8484 to set up an appointment for your no-obligation survey.

Warmly,

ATTENTION: Kane County Homeowners, we are doing it again this year!Great opportunity with only 22 units available in 2019Quality, American Made HVAC Systems:SERVICE NOW HEATING Helping 22 Homeowners by “Giving Away” Furnaces for $941.With Off-Season Air ConditioningIf you qualify, local utilities may offer up to $550 in rebates towards your new system.

garage Sale Early one evening a man went out to his garage

and pulled the lawn furniture out onto the driveway.Shortly after followed the lawn mower, a few gardening tools and a bicycle.

A curious neighbor wandered over and asked ifhe was going to have a garage sale.

"No," replied the gentleman, "my son just boughthis first car and right now he's getting ready for abig date."

"So what's with all the stuff?" asked the neighbor. "Well, after years of moving tricycles, toys and

sports equipment out of the way every time I camehome from work I wanted to make sure the driveway was ready for him."

talking to each other for days. Finally, on the third day, he asked where one of his shirts was. "Oh," I said, "So now you're speaking to me." He looked confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Haven't you noticed I haven't spoken to you for three days?" Ichallenged.

"No," he said, "I just thought we were getting along."

get Back In there! Working as a secretary at an international airport,

my sister had an office adjacent to where security temporarily holds suspects.

One day security officers were questioning a manwhen they were suddenly called away on anotheremergency. To the horror of my sister and her colleagues, the man was left alone in the unlockedroom. After a few minutes, the door opened, and hebegan to walk out. Summoning up her courage, one of the secretaries barked, "Get back in there, and don'tcome out until you're told!"

The man scuttled back inside and slammed thedoor. When the security people returned, the womanreported what had happened.

Without a word, an officer walked into the roomand released one very frightened telephone repairman.

golf Questions Jill: I just don't understand the

attraction golf holds for men. Mary: TELL me about it! I went

golfing with my husband one time,and he told me I asked too many questions!

Jill: Well, I'm sure you were justtrying to understand the game. Whatquestions did you ask?

Mary: I thought I asked legitimatequestions . . . like, "Why did you hitthe ball into that lake?"

lost luggage I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage

area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told thewoman there that my bags never showed up.

She smiled and told me not to worry as they were trained professionals and I was in good hands. “Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

gender Signs Over the years, my husband and I have usually

managed to decode the cute but confusing gender signs sometimes put on restaurant restroom doors(Buoys and Gulls, Laddies and Lassies, etc.), but everyso often we get stumped.

Recently my husband wandered off in search of themen's room and found himself confronted by twomarked doors. One was labeled "Bronco," and theother was designated "Cactus."

Completely baffled, he stopped a restaurant employee passing by. "Excuse me. I need to use therestroom," he said. Gesturing toward the doors, heasked, "Which one should I use?"

"Actually, we would prefer you to go there," theemployee said, pointing to a door down the hallmarked MEN. Bronco and Cactus are private diningrooms."

top ten Signs the Concert You're attending is not the real Woodstock

From "Late Show with David Letterman" on Tuesday, August 9, 1994

10. It's hosted by Ed McMahon.9. "Amplifiers" are just enormous dixie cups.8. Every song contains a plug for Green Giant frozen

vegetables.7. You're asked to put on a hat and sunglasses and the

next thing you know, you're being introduced as Bob Dylan.

6. One word: polkas.5. Guy sitting next to you brought a glove and has

caught three foul balls.4. "Santana" turns out to be a jolly bearded guy with a

sackful of presents.3. They're playing "May we turn the hose on you,

please?" [All night Dave sprayed the crowd which gathers outside for each night's show with a hose.]

2. You spot Rush Limbaugh stage-diving.1. The crowd is chanting, "Tito! Tito! Tito!"

any last requests?A cowboy and a biker are on death row, and are to

be executed on the same day. The day comes, and theyare brought to the gas chamber. The warden asks thecowboy if he has a last request, to which the cowboyreplies, "Ah shore do, wardn. Ah'd be mighty gratefulif'n yoo'd play 'Achy Breaky Heart' fur me bahfore ahhafta go."

"Sure enough, cowboy, we can do that," says thewarden. He turns to the biker, "And you, biker, what'syour last request?"

"That you kill me first."

lot's O'Snow I just got off the phone with a friend who lives in

northern Newfoundland. He said that since early thismorning the snow has been falling and is nearly waisthigh. The temperature is dropping way below zero andthe north wind is increasing to near gale force.

His wife has done nothing but look through thekitchen window and just stare.

He says that if it gets much worse, he may have tolet her in.

In the Old Days My daughter was six and excited about learning all

the wonderful things about the world that first-graderslearn. She turned to me one day and asked, "Mom,back in the old days when you were a kid, had theylearned how to make the wheel yet?"

I replied, "No, Sweetie, back then we were justgrateful to have fire."

Where are we?Fritz Kriesler and Rachmaninov had a recital in

Carnegie Hall once. In the middle of the music,Kriesler got lost and turned around to ask Rachmaninov, "Where are we?"

Rachmaninov said, "Carnegie Hall, sir!"

What's that sound?A tourist is sightseeing in a European city. She

comes upon the tomb of Beethoven, and begins \reading the commerative plaque, only to be distractedby a low scratching noise, as if something was rubbingagainst a piece of paper.

She collars a passing native and asks what thescratching sound is.

The local person replies, "Oh, that is Beethoven.He's decomposing."

911 Dispatcher Part of my job as a 911 dispatcher is to interrogate

callers who are in various states of panic so I can sendthe appropriate emergency equipment.

One day a woman called to say that a family member had fallen and needed to go to a hospital.

After finding out where she lived and assuring herthat the paramedics would arrive shortly, I asked her,"Do you know what caused the fall?"

"No," the woman nervously replied. "What?"

native tongue A few years ago, I decided to visit my brother who

was stationed in Germany. I assumed that most Germans would speak English. But I found that manypeople spoke only their native tongue - including theticket inspector on the train. He punched my ticket,then chatted cordially for a bit, making gestures like awindmill. I simply nodded from time to time to show

him that I was interested. When he had gone, an American woman soldier in the compartment leanedforward and asked if I spoke German.

"No," I confessed. "Then that explains," she said, "why you didn't bat

an eyelid when he told you that you were on the wrongtrain."

golf Clubs A golfer, who was known for his bad temper,

walked into the Pro Shop one day and plunked downbig bucks for a new set of woods.

The staff all watched to see what would happenafter he used them for the first time - more than halfexpecting he'd come in and demand his money back.

But the next time he came in, he was all smiles. "They're the best clubs I've ever had," he said. "In

fact, I've discovered I can throw them at least 40 yardsfarther than I could my last ones."

naval efficiency A young ensign had nearly completed his first overseas tour of

sea duty when he was given an opportunity to display his ability atgetting the ship under way. With a stream of crisp commands, he hadthe decks buzzing with men. The ship steamed out of the channel andsoon the port was far behind.

The ensign's efficiency has been remarkable. In fact, the deck wasabuzz with talk that he had set a new record for getting a destroyerunder way. The ensign glowed at his accomplishment and was not allsurprised when another seaman approached him with a message fromthe captain.

He was, however, a bit surprised to find that it was a radio message, and he was even more surprised when he read, "My personal congratulations upon completing your underway preparationexercise according to the book and with amazing speed. In yourhaste, however, you have overlooked one of the unwritten rules --Make Sure The Captain Is Aboard Before Getting Under Way."

needed to Be Pushed.... A few years ago the battery in my beat-up VW Beetle had died

because I left the lights on overnight. I was in a hurry to get to workon time so I ran into the house to get my wife to give me a hand tostart the car. I told her to get into our second car, a prehistoric oversized gas guzzler, and use it to push my car fast enough to start it. I pointed out to her that because the VW had an automatic transmission, it needed to be pushed at least 20 mph for it to start.

She said fine, hopped into her car and drove off. I sat there fuming wondering what she could be doing. A minute passed by and when I saw her in the rear-view

mirror coming at me at about 30 mph, I realized that I should havebeen a bit clearer with my directions.....

no Charge When I had a job at the photo-

developing counter of a pharmacy, thefilm was sometimes developed incorrectly. If this occurred, we did not charge our customers. Once a mancame to pick up his pictures, whichwere marked $0.00, indicating that notone of them had turned out right.

The customer asked to see the photos, and when I noticed the oddsplotches of color all over the pictures,I apologized profusely.

"Oh, no, these are fine," he saidhappily. "I'm a microbiologist, andthese are my bacteria cultures."

accounting Interview Rick, fresh out of accounting school, went to a

interview for a good paying job. The company bossasked various questions about him and his education,but then asked him, "What is three times seven?"

"22," Rick replied. After he left, he double-checkedit on his calculator (he *knew* he should have taken itto the interview!) and realized he wouldn't get the job.

About two weeks later, he got a letter that said hewas hired for the job! He was not one to look a gifthorse in the mouth, but was still very curious. The nextday, he went in and asked why he got the job, eventhough he got such a simple question wrong. The bossshrugged and said, "Well, you were the closest."

alpha Beta gamma While working as a television news cameraman, I

arrived at an accident scene, and a cameraman fromanother station pulled up behind me. As I parked thenews cruiser, I heard a policeman on the scanner usingthe radio phonetic alphabet to alert other officers. "Beaware that the Mike Echo Delta India Alpha has arrived," he said.

I approached the officer, looked him in the eye andsaid, "You might be surprised to know that some of usin the Mike Echo Delta India Alpha can Sierra PapaEcho Lima Lima."

Can't Swim I worked in the biology department at Buffalo State

College in New York. The Great Lakes Laboratory,also stationed at the college, employed a licensed boatcaptain to man its research vessel. It was commonknowledge that the captain couldn't swim. When newcomers learned of this, they would approach himabout it.

"Is it true?" one of them asked incredulously. "You,a boat captain, can't swim?"

"No, I can't," he replied. "Can pilots fly?"

not at Work My boss didn't come into work today. He called this

morning and said he was having a vision problem. When I asked what was wrong, he replied, "I just

can't see myself at work today."

Until I am Measured,I am not known.

Yet how you miss me,When I have flown!

THANK THE BUSINESS WHERE YOU PICKED UP THE ORANGE PEEL GAZETTE

You know you're from northern vermont when:

•You only own three spices- salt, pepper and ketchup. •The mosquitoes have landing lights. •You have more miles on your snowblower than your car. •You have 10 favorite recipes for venison. •The local Hardware store on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores at Christmas.

•You live in a house that has no front steps, yet the door is one yard above the ground. •Driving is better in the winter because the potholes get filled with snow. •Making it home during Mud Season is a competitive sport. •You think everyone from the city has an accent. •You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.

•You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car. •The local paper covers national and international headlines on l/4 page, but requires 6 pages for sports. •At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant.

•The most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun. •Your snow-blower gets stuck on the roof. •You think the start of deer hunting season is a national holiday. •You head south to go to your cottage. •You frequently clean grease off your barbecue so the bears won't prowl on your deck. •You know which leaves make good toilet paper. •The town officials greet you on the street by your first name.

•There is only one shopping plaza in town. •The major parish fundraiser isn't bingo- its sausage making.

•You find -20F a little chilly. •The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer. •You attended a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelry and your snowmobile boots. •You can play road hockey on skates. •Shoveling the driveway constitutes a great upper body workout. •You know the 4 seasons: Winter, Still Winter, Almost Winter, and Construction. •The municipality buys a zamboni before a bus. •You actually 'relate' to these jokes, and forward them to all your Northern friends.

Florida Driving rules (especially for our visiting Senior Drivers)

1) Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Floridian driver never uses them. Use of them in Kissimmee may be illegal.

2) Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

3) Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered "going with the flow."

4) The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

5) Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork.

6) Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.

7) Electronic traffic warning signs are not there to provide useful information. They are only there to make Osceola County look high-tech, and to distract you from seeing the state police radar car parked on the median.

8) Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.

9) Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions, and are apparently not enforceable during rush hour.

10) Always slow down & rubberneck when you see an accident, or even if someone is just changing a tire.

11) Throwing litter on the roads adds color to the landscape and gives Adopt-a-Highway crews something to clean up.

12) It is assumed that state police cars passing at high speed may be followed in the event you need to make up a few minutes on your way to work, or the beach.

13) Heavy fog and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously listed rules. These weather conditions are God's way of ensuring a natural selection process for body shops, junkyards, and new vehicle sales.

new technology A lady came to the hospital to visit a friend. She

had not been in a hospital for several years and felt uneasy, not knowing about all the new technology. Atechnician followed her onto the elevator, wheeling alarge, intimidating looking machine with tubes andwires and dials.

"Boy, would I hate to be hooked up to that thing,"she said.

"So would I," replied the technician. "It's a floor-cleaning machine."

real Stories Of technically Challenged People

1st Person: "Do you know anything about this fax-machine?"

2nd Person: "A little. What's wrong?"1st Person: "Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient

called back to say all she received was a cover-sheetand a blank page. I tried it again, and the same thinghappened."

2nd Person: "How did you load the sheet?"1st Person: "It's a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn't

want anyone else to read it by accident, so I folded itso only the recipient would open it and read it."

---------I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping

beside her car."Do you need some help?" I asked.She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the

battery in this remote door unlocker. Now I can't getinto my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distantconvenience store) would have a battery for this?"

"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked.

"No, just this remote 'thingy,'" she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the keyand manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don'tyou drive over there and check about the batteries ...it's a long walk."

-----------

My friend called his car insurance company to tellthem to change his address from Texas to Vermont.The woman who took the call asked where Vermontwas.

As he tried to explain, she interrupted and said,"Look, I'm not stupid or anything, just tell me whatstate it's in?"

-----------Several years ago we had an intern who was none

too swift. One day he was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper.What do I do?"

"Just use copier paper," she told him.With that, the intern took his last remaining blank

piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceededto make five blank copies.

DC Cabs Anyone who's ever ridden in a cab in Washington

DC knows they're some of the world's most brazendrivers. Oddly enough though, their current accidentrate isn't all that bad. One day I asked one of the drivers the reason for that.

"Easy," he said. "all the really bad drivers are deadnow."

Since 1988

the nickel There's a little fellow named Junior who hangs

out at the local grocery store. The manager doesn'tknow what Junior's problem is, but the boys like totease him. They say he is two bricks short of a load,or two pickles shy of a barrel.

To prove it, sometimes the boys offer Junior hischoice between a nickel and a dime. He alwaystakes the nickel, they say, because it's bigger.

One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, the storemanager got him off to one side and said, "Junior,those boys are making fun of you. They think youdon't know the dime is worth more than the nickel.Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, orwhat?"

Junior said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd quitdoing it!"

no enemies A new minister was talking to the oldest member

of his congregation. "I am 90 years old, sir, and I haven't an enemy in

the world," said the aged one. "That is a beautiful thought," said the clergyman

approvingly. "Yes sir," was the answer. "I'm thankful to say

that I've outlived them all."
