• Today is Tuesday folks, you all know what this means? That’s right, it’s time for the joke of the day sponsored by Mr. Gary Walters. The inspiration from this joke comes from the 49ers beating the Cowboys Sunday night - sorry Mrs. Tara!! All righty, here we go:  Why did the cowboy decide to quit his job at the rodeo? It was a spur of the moment decision.
  
  

Have a great day today. You are in control of your actions, do what’s right - make today 1% better than yesterday, and remember everyday is a great day when you are an Olney Tiger!!
