Old Woman Prospector — Humor Break
This Off The Internet bit of humor is courtesy of Cathy Martin 
Old Woman and her Mule
She walked up and tied her old mule to the hitchin’ rail.
As she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes,
a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, saying, “hey old woman, have you ever danced?”
The old woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, “No, i never did dance… Never really wanted to.”
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, “well, you old bag, you’re gonna dance now,” and started shooting at the old woman’s feet.
The old woman prospector – not wanting to get her toe blown off – started hopping around. Everybody was laughing.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.
The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately.
The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.
The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old woman and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old woman’s hands, as she quietly said, “son, have you ever licked a mule’s butt?”
the gunslinger swallowed hard and said, “no ma’am…But… I’ve always wanted to.”
There are a few lessons for us all here:
1 – Never be Arrogant.
2 – Don’t waste ammunition.
3 – Whiskey makes you think you’re smarter than you are.
4 – Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
5 – Don’t mess with old women; they didn’t get old by being stupid…
I JUST LOVE A STORY WITH A HAPPY ENDING, DON’T YOU?

Auto Raise Means Pa Legislator Salary $84G
The automatic pay raise for Pennsylvania lawmakers made law in 1995 kicked in Dec.1 which means that the average Pennsylvania legislator salary is now at $84.012. It’s basically a $17 a month raise or about $200 per year. It certainly will help ease the burden of the eventual 28 cents per gallon gas tax they just passed.
Note this does not include their pension or health plans or their per diem which could be as high as $242.
