Say Cheese

Eagle Leather

    A Little Humor Photo Shy? Not This Ghost. At twilight, Marlena rode her motorcycle up the winding road to the deserted, nearly ruined castle. Everyone in the village below had warned her about the ghost that haunted the ancient battlements. She hoped to get a picture of the spectral being. After all, she reasoned, a picture of a real ghost would bring both fame and fortune. She parked her motorcycle in the castle courtyard and began the long climb up the crumbling stairway. With every step, the darkness grew. She began to hear the wailing about half-way up the stairs. Sure enough, when Marlena reached the battlement, there was the ghost. But it didn’t run at her or even say, “Boo!” Marlena was relieved and, being a polite young woman, asked, “May I take your picture?” “I’d be delighted,” responded the ghost. “I get very little attention these days, what with the villagers being so afraid of me.” The ghost posed for picture after picture in the deep darkness of the night. Marlena was delighted. Back at the inn, she downloaded her photos to her laptop and began to look at them. One after another, the photos were blank—just blackness. Shrugging her shoulders Marlena said, I guess the spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.

The Troop's Travels

Eagle Leather

    A Little Humor Tall Tales For Empty Barracks Sergeant Bellamy found an empty barracks at midnight. He sat on the front steps to wait and to compose the proper “greeting” for his wayward troops. Private Sam ran up. “Sorry, Sarge, but I can explain. I had a date, you see, and then my motorcycle wouldn’t start. I ran for the bus, but I missed the last one. I hailed a cab, but it broke down. I started jogging back from town and saw a farm. I bought a horse there and started off again. But it dropped dead. I ran the last ten miles. Sarge had a soft spot for a fellow motorcycle enthusiast, and Sam was back, so he let it go. Just then a dozen more GIs came running in. “You there, Smith, tell me what happened to the lot of you,” Sarge demanded. “We all had dates in town, Sarge. For some reason, none of our motorcycles would start. We all missed the last bus and shared cabs, but they broke down. We found a farm and bought horses, which all dropped dead, and we had to run the last ten miles.” Sarge thought this was more than a little fishy, but, before he could begin his tirade, another solder came up. “Okay, Private Wilson. What’s your excuse?” Sarge asked. After I took my date home, my motorcycle wouldn’t start. I missed the last bus, so I hailed a cab…” Sarge interrupted, “I think I’ve heard this one before. The cab broke down…” “Oh, no, Sarge. There were so many dead horses in the road, it took forever to get around them.”

Rain in Tacoma

Eagle Leather

  A Little Humor Does It Ever Stop Raining in Tacoma? Elvira thought, when she moved from Chicago to Tacoma, that she would be able to enjoy more days of motorcycle riding because the weather would be milder. Well. True, it didn’t get as hot during that first summer, but, with all the rain, she didn’t ride as much. In fact, she spent so little time outdoors she began to envy the Pillsbury Doughboy’s tan. One morning, as she waited for the bus in the misty rain, she asked a kid who was standing nearby, “Does it ever stop raining around here?” “How should I know,” the kid answered. “I’m only six years old.” Her worst fears were confirmed on the news that very night: The Pope held a special news conference and announced: “We are in the midst of a worldwide rainfall that will create another flood and end the world. Repent and pray for mercy!” Then the President told the nation, “Our scientists have done all they can. I ask everyone to remain calm and meet the end with American dignity and patriotism.” And then it was time for the weather forecast. “Here in Tacoma, we’re looking at five more days of the same weather as usual.

Alvin Seeks Financial Guidance

Eagle Leather

  A Little Humor Alvin Seeks Financial Guidance in The Bible Alvin was an avid motorcycle enthusiast but also a total spendthrift. As a result, his home in Tacoma was mortgaged to the hilt, his credit cards were maxed out, his business was going down for the third time, and he had just a few hundred dollars in his checking account. He was staring at complete ruin. “I am going to take those last dollars and go to Biketober in Daytona. I’ve never made a cross-country ride, and I may never have another chance. And, maybe some answer to my problems will come up as I ride,” Alvin thought. He rode all the way to Daytona and had no answer. He pulled into town on Saturday night and went to church the next day. The minister was so much more inspiring than his minister back home that Alvin decided to ask for his advice. “Here’s what you do,” the minister told him. “Put a beach chair and a Bible into your car and find a secluded spot on the beach. Go to the edge of the water and pray for guidance. Then open the Bible and let the wind ruffle the pages. When the pages stop fluttering, look down, and you’ll find your answer.” A year later Alvin went to Daytona for Biketober again and sought out the minister again. The minister took only look at his spanking new custom motorcycle, his tailored suit, his expensive shoes and asked, “Did you go to the beach as I told you?” “I sure did,” Alvin said. “And you sat in the beach chair holding the Bible?” “Yup, and here’s a big donation for your church.” “What did you see when you looked down at your Bible?” “Chapter 11.”
