Charles Schulz, the creator of the PEANUTS comic strip, made his first Zamboni reference in 1980, and its appearance in the strip was a complete surprise to the Zamboni Company. Schulz actually told Richard Zamboni that he was asked many times: “What’s A Zamboni?”. There were almost 45 references to Zamboni in the P EANUTS comics, including Woodstock and Snoopy taking turns driving the machine.

It's All About Perspective
Little Billy arrived home after his hockey game, threw open the door and ran to his Dad.
"How was the game, son? How did you do?" asked his father, who was unable to attend the game.
"You aren't going to believe it, Dad!" Billy exclaimed. "I was responsible for the winning goal!"
"That's wonderful," his dad said. "How did you do that?"
"I missed my check on the other team's high scorer!"
One For The Hockey Moms
Four women were having coffee and bragging about their children. The first woman says, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him father."
The next woman tries to top her, "Really? My son married the princess of a small European country and when he walks into the room, people call him your highness!"
The third woman chirps, "Well, my son is a cardinal of the church. Whenever he walks into a room, people call him your eminence!"
The fourth woman is just sitting there sipping her coffee silently and the other three look at her in a subtle way, as if to say 'well...?' She smiles and says, "Oh. My son is a very large and handsome hockey player. Whenever he walks into a room, women say, "OH MY GOD...!"
