A Report from the Southwest
from Sr. Member
Roger Webster
We have had Heavy rains and floods here in Arizona. Last week
the city of Phoenix needed to shut off the water treatment plants
as the rains washed a lot of surface soil into the creeks and
rivers, fouling up the plants. Recently, at a Kiwanis meeting,
we had three people give the club a lecture on Identify crisis[sic].
Believe me, it did not hold a candle to the talk the Laconia
Police Dept. gave us. Plenty to do with the Club, with peanut
sales, going on now, flea market, estate sales. On Feb. 20 the
club is having their annual pizza party at the Organ Pipe Pizza.
Close to 80 members and guests will attend. Regards to all.
Some Thoughts from Steven
Wright
Submitted by Sr.
Member Ed Chertok
1- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2- Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.
3- Half the people you know are below average.
4- 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
5- A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feels
so good. 6- All those who believe
in psycho-kinesis, raise my hand.
7- The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets
the cheese. 8- I almost had a psychic
girlfriend but she left me before we met.
9- OK, so what's the speed of dark?
10- How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
11- Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
12- When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
13- Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to
avoid work. 14- Hard work pays off
in the future, laziness pays off now.
15- I intend to live forever--so far, so good.
16- If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
17- Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
18- What happens if you
get scared half to death twice?
19- My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes,
so I made your horn louder." 20- Why do psychics
have to ask you for your name?
21- A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
22- Experience is something you don't get until just after you
need it. 23- The hardness of
the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
24- The problem with the gene pool is
that there is no lifeguard.
25- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to
catch up. 26- The colder the
x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.
27- Everyone has a photographic memory,
some just don't have film.
