Retired Thoughts<br />

As I was lying in bed pondering the<br />

problems of the world, I quickly realized<br />

that I’m tired of the rat race. It’s<br />

the tortoise life for me!<br />

1. If walking is good for your health,<br />

the postman would be immortal.<br />

2. A whale swims all day, only eats<br />

fish, drinks water, and is fat.<br />

3. A rabbit runs and hops and only<br />

lives 15 years.<br />

A tortoise doesn’t run and does nothing,<br />

yet lives for 450 years.<br />

And you tell me to exercise?? I don’t<br />

think so. I’m retired. Go around me.<br />

Everybody keeps saying that women<br />

are smarter than men, but did you ever<br />

see a man wearing a shirt that buttons<br />

down the back?<br />

WHAT SHOULD I DO?<br />

Answer– learn what applied and<br />

advanced Kinesiology can do to<br />

help you with good judgment.<br />

Any question? 250-428-3902<br />

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to<br />

pass...it’s about learning to dance in<br />

the rain.<br />

If carrots are so good for the eyes, how<br />

come I see so many dead rabbits on<br />

the highway?<br />

On my first day of school my parents<br />

dropped me off at the wrong nursery.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re I was…. surrounded by trees<br />

and bushes.<br />

I earn a seven-figure salary. Unfortunately,<br />

there is a decimal point involved.<br />

Closed Sundays & Stat Holidays<br />

This is our 3rd season as being owners of the<br />

taxi service in Creston, BC. We have dedicated<br />

ourselves to 16-20 hours of service daily, with<br />

no time off for ourselves. Calculations for the<br />

year 2012, after expenses, we have profited<br />

$6.17 per hour, far below the BC minimum<br />

wage. We are trying to eliminate most of the<br />

dead hours, and credit ourselves with some<br />

well-needed time off. <strong>The</strong>re is not enough<br />

money brought in to pay for drivers. <strong>The</strong> only<br />

times we are steady are welfare day, pension<br />

day, and baby bonus day, and once in a while,<br />

the odd function. <strong>The</strong>re have been days, where<br />

there have been no fares for 5 hours, also days<br />

where we have worked for $2.20 per hour.<br />

From now on, at any time we get no fares in a<br />

3 hour period, we are likely to shut down for<br />

that day. We will re-evaluate at the end of this<br />

year, and possibly at that time we might consider<br />

closing the doors. Clients say they need<br />

the service, but can we keep it operational?<br />

Sincerely: Al & Delores Medcalfe

Places I’ve Been<br />

I have been in many places, but I’ve<br />

never been in Cahoots. Apparently,<br />

you can’t go alone. You have to be in<br />

Cahoots with someone.<br />

I’ve also never been in Cognito. I hear<br />

no one recognizes you there.<br />

I have, however, been in Sane. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

don’t have an airport; you have to be<br />

driven there. I have made several trips<br />

there, thanks to my friends, family and<br />

work.<br />

I would like to go to Conclusions, but<br />

you have to jump, and I’m not too<br />

much on physical activity anymore.<br />

I have also been in Doubt. That is a<br />

sad place to go, and I try not to visit<br />

there too often.<br />

I’ve been in Flexible, but only when it<br />

was very important to stand firm.<br />

Sometimes I’m in Capable, and I go<br />

there more often as I’m getting older.<br />

I may have been in Continent, but I<br />

don’t remember what country I was in.<br />

It’s an age thing.<br />

—————————————————-<br />

Life is too short for negative drama<br />

and petty things. So laugh insanely,<br />

love truly and forgive quickly.<br />

—————————————————-<br />

Nerve impulses to and from the brain<br />

travel as fast as 170 miles per hour.<br />

Ever wonder how you can react so fast<br />

to things around you or why that<br />

stubbed toe hurts right away? It’s due<br />

to the super speedy movement of<br />

nerve impulses from your brain to the<br />

rest of your body and vice-versa,<br />

bringing reactions at the speed of a<br />

high powered luxury sports car.<br />

Rebus Puzzle<br />

A rebus is a picture representation<br />

of a name, word or phrase.<br />

<strong>The</strong> puzzle below portrays a common<br />

word or phrase.<br />

Can you guess what it is?<br />

(answer on pg 5)<br />

Answer to<br />

Criss Cross<br />

Puzzle:<br />

After the game, the King and the pawn<br />

go into the same box.<br />

-Italian proverb<br />

—————————————————-<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were no injuries in the minor car<br />

accident my mother-in-law was involved<br />

in, but the police went to the<br />

scene to make a report. My mother-inlaw<br />

was surprised when they informed<br />

her she was at fault. She decided to<br />

contest this and go to court. On the<br />

appointed day, she marched before<br />

the judge when her name was called.<br />

He looked down at her and asked if<br />

she was represented by legal counsel.<br />

She drew herself up to her full five<br />

feet. “I don’t need a lawyer,” she declared.<br />

“I intend to tell the truth.” She<br />

won.<br />

—————————————————-<br />

Our first three babies, all girls, each<br />

weighed about seven pounds at birth.<br />

When our fourth arrived, he was much<br />

larger. After delivery, the medical team<br />

began testing and measuring my new<br />

son. <strong>The</strong> last reading came from a<br />

nurse, who seemed impressed as she<br />

read, “Weight, nine pounds, eight<br />

ounces.” My husband, Morris, a CPA<br />

in corporate finance, who’d been quiet<br />

up to this point, could contain himself<br />

no longer. “How about that!” Morris<br />

exclaimed happily. “It’s 36.5% more<br />

baby!”<br />

Coming Clean<br />

A man from New York City vacationed<br />

several times in the state of Maine. He<br />

liked it so well up there that he sold out<br />

in New York and bought a home in<br />

Maine to live there for the rest of his<br />

life. He liked the honest lifestyle and<br />

the clean air.<br />

His neighbor he noticed raised rabbits<br />

for a living. <strong>The</strong> man had several<br />

dozen hutches full of rabbits.<br />

One day shortly after the move to the<br />

new home the former New Yorker<br />

looked out his window in time to see<br />

his dog carrying a rabbit in his mouth.<br />

Horrified, he ran out to save the rabbit,<br />

only to find out it was too late. Mortified<br />

and embarrassed, he went to the<br />

neighbor with the dead bunny. <strong>The</strong><br />

neighbor was very nice about the incident<br />

and told him not to worry about it.<br />

Sometime later the rabbit man needed<br />

to go on a visit to see his son in a distant<br />

state for two weeks. <strong>The</strong> New<br />

Yorker, hearing about this, thought he<br />

could redeem himself, and volunteered<br />

to clean and feed and water the rabbits<br />

for the man.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two weeks went without incident<br />

until about an hour before the neighbor<br />

was to return home. <strong>The</strong> dog again<br />

was trotting across the yard with a rabbit<br />

in his mouth. <strong>The</strong> New Yorker ran<br />

out again to save the poor animal, but<br />

it was too late!<br />

My parents were flying to Ontario from<br />

Florida to visit us. It seemed the majority<br />

of the passengers on the flight were<br />

grandparents on similar missions,<br />

many flying for the first time. My folks<br />

had seats by the window and noticed<br />

an elderly lady across the aisle periodically<br />

turn and glare at them. Two hours<br />

into the trip, at an altitude of 30,000<br />

feet, the lady seemed unable to control<br />

herself any longer. She leaned across<br />

the aisle and snapped at my parents: “I<br />

can feel a draft. Have you got your window<br />

open?”<br />

Several years ago, Andy was sentenced<br />

to prison. During his stay, he<br />

got along well with the guards and all<br />

his fellow inmates. <strong>The</strong> warden saw<br />

that deep down, Andy was a good person<br />

and made arrangements for Andy<br />

to learn a trade while doing his time.<br />

After three years, Andy was recognized<br />

as being one of the best carpenters<br />

in the local area. Often he would<br />

be given a weekend pass to do odd<br />

jobs for the citizens of his community,<br />

and he always reported back to prison<br />

before Sunday night was over. <strong>The</strong><br />

warden was thinking of remodeling his<br />

kitchen and in fact, had done much of<br />

the work himself. But he lacked the<br />

skills to build a set of kitchen cupboards<br />

and a large counter top which<br />

he had promised his wife.<br />

Page 9<br />

So he called Andy into his office and<br />

asked him to complete the job for him.<br />

But, alas, Andy refused. He told the<br />

warden, “Gosh, I’d like to help you but<br />

counter fitting is what got me into<br />

prison in the first place.<br />

Coming Clean….cont from pg 8<br />

<strong>The</strong> animal was dirty and beyond<br />

hope.<br />

This time, to save embarrassment, the<br />

New Yorker filled up his sink with hot<br />

water and put in some Woolite. <strong>The</strong><br />

rabbit washed clean and the wife blow<br />

dried it with her electric blow dryer. <strong>The</strong><br />

New Yorker quickly put the rabbit in a<br />

cage and went home.<br />

About an hour later he got a phone call<br />

from the rabbit man asking if he saw<br />

anything unusual about the rabbits.<br />

<strong>The</strong> New Yorker acted mystified and<br />

said no. He went on to say that if anything<br />

happened, it happened after he<br />

fed the animals that morning.<br />

“<strong>Fun</strong>ny thing,” the rabbit man said. “I<br />

have a dead rabbit, and it looks just<br />

like the one I buried just before I left for<br />

my trip.”<br />

—————————————————-<br />

A couple’s happy married life almost<br />

went on the rocks because of the presence<br />

in the household of old Aunt<br />

Emma. For seven long years she lived<br />

with them, always crotchety, always<br />

demanding. Finally the old lady died.<br />

On the way back from the cemetery,<br />

the husband confessed to his wife,<br />

“Darling, if I didn’t love you so much, I<br />

don’t think I would have put up with<br />

having your Aunt Emma in the house<br />

all those years.” His wife looked at him<br />

aghast. “MY Aunt Emma!” she cried. “I<br />

thought she was YOUR Aunt Emma!”<br />

effective weapon, and that is laughter.<br />

An engineering student, a physics student,<br />

and a math student were each<br />

given $150 and were told to use that<br />

money to find out exactly how tall a<br />

particular hotel was. All three ran off,<br />

extremely keen on how to do this. <strong>The</strong><br />

physics student went out, purchased<br />

some stopwatches, a number of ball<br />

bearings, a calculator, and some<br />

friends. He had them all time the drop<br />

of the ball bearings from the roof, and<br />

he then figured out the height from the<br />

time it took for the bearings to accelerate<br />

from rest until they impacted the<br />

sidewalk. <strong>The</strong> math student waited<br />

until the sun was going down, then she<br />

took out her protractor, plumb line,<br />

measuring tape, and scratch pad,<br />

measured the length of the shadow,<br />

found the angle the buildings roof<br />

made from the ground, and used trigonometry<br />

to figure out the height of the<br />

building. Of course, with all that was<br />

involved in getting this experiment<br />

done, they were up plenty late studying<br />

for other course exams. <strong>The</strong>se two<br />

students bumped into the engineering<br />

student the next day, who looked quite<br />

refreshed. When they asked what he<br />

did to find the height of the building he<br />

replied: “Well, I walked up to the bell<br />

hop, gave him 10 bucks, asked him<br />

how tall the hotel was, and went inside<br />

for a 5 course dinner.”<br />
