Puns - they just keep getting better!

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

From Teton National Park

Greetings. We are at Grand Teton National Park, outside Jackson, Wyoming. (Jackson – we are finding you everywhere!) The drive from Moab, Utah to Wyoming was spectacular and took us from a desert to alpine climate. The air is so thick here I feel than I can make a small ball of it and eat it like a pine-flavored gum drop. 

The campground we are in is almost deserted and it is grand to be here before the summer season.  We’ve been here for three nights so we’ve had time for not just touring and hiking but also reading and Gus bike riding.

License plates: Gus saw Hawaii and Washington DC tonight (we have proof); only missing Alaska and a few provinces.

We are off to Yellowstone tomorrow.

Pun from Grand Tetons

These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

Arches Nation Park -- Wow!

pun for today

I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
