My brother Bill had a very unique sense of humor that I miss very much.
He has been gone since 2006, but I would like his stories to live on.

Story 1

As I took my wife Diane to one of our first family gatherings, Diane was to meet Bill for the first time, among many other family members.
Bill and I seemed to have a competition to gather up jokes and funny stories to tell each other for good, clean, healthy fellowship with each other.
So, keeping to maintain any "better than mine" response, Bill would respond to my story with, "Hmh".
Well after Diane met Bill, I had one of these great stories for Bill and proceeded to give it to him.
As Diane was watching, Bill responded with "HMH.
On the way to the car Diane said, "Bill doesn't laugh very much does he"?
I then informed her, "didn't you hear him say "HMH"? That means that he was laughing hysterically!

Story 2

While in the back seat riding with Bill and Gail on a nice sunny day, Gail says to Bill, "Bill, stop in this grocery store because we need to pick up a few things".
Bill very reluctantly says, "for what"?
Gail says, "just stop"
Bill did what he was told.
We all went in, and me being blind, held Bill's elbow as a sighted guide as he was at the back of the shopping cart.
Gail led the way, pulling the cart and adding many items.
As we all took the full cart to the check out, the cashier started checking us out.
The cashier asked Bill, "would you like this milk in a bag"?
Bill said, "no, that would be messy".
And, as Bill was helping place the items on the belt, and in front of a crowded check out audience, Bill proceeded to place the toilet paper on the belt, then asked his wife, "Gail, do you think that this is enough toilet paper for the amount of groceries we have"?

Story 3

My sister-in-law Gail liked to visit the near by casino a lot and Bill didn't seem to mind too much at all, so he usually took her and went along for entertainment.
Bill had a gag handcuff hanging from his belt walking around the casino when a security guard came up to him and stopped him, asking what he was doing with the handcuffs.
Bill replied, "I am just looking for a good woman".

Story 4

GOT CHA!

We went on a motorcycle trip through the Pocono mountains and found a campsite at a plateau of a mountain and decided to camp there.
We also noticed a restaurant/bar at the bottom of this mountain where we could get all of our needs met as far as food, bathroom and getting drunk, and also a pool table.
During the evening, the talk of the bar was what was on the local news on the 1 TV in there.
It was about an escaped convict in the area that was being searched for that was very dangerous.
After we were feeling overly good from being drunk, and proceeded to set up our sleeping bags, the women were scared and still talking about it.
Without any one of us noticing and in a moment of silence, Bill picked up a rock and threw it into the wooded area near us.
The women said, "what was that"?
Well, I just happened to have a knife in my backpack. I took it out and stood up and proceeded to walk towards the woods.
The next noise I heard got me to stop and turn around to see Bill bent over and laughing, which got everyone else laughing.
Then I made my big claim.
"I was the only one brave enough to go check it out"!, then I started laughing.
