I love a good joke. The DesMoines Register has a short little ditty that got me chuckling. Here it is.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is contemplating using wolf urine along the sides of highways in an effort to keep deer off the roads (“Officials Consider Using Wolf Urine Near Roads,” Feb. 1).
Since no wolves reside in Iowa, we don’t know if deer will be deterred by the scent.
There is, however, one deer predator that resides in large quantities in our state: men.
We can save money and solve our problem with the simple step of closing the men’s rooms at the rest stops and encouraging all male travelers to stop at their leisure by the side of the road.
We will eliminate the cost of cleaning the men’s rooms, and the men won’t have that distracting wait for the next rest stop.

Now, tell me that didn’t make you laugh this morning.
