Tony Stack walked into<br />
Mickey Reardon's Spirit World<br />
and ordered a double whiskey.<br />
He drank it down, slapped a ten<br />
dollar bill on the bar and walked<br />
out. Blackie Vega, (the bar-<br />
tender) picked it up and was<br />
putting it in his pocket when<br />
Mickey Reardon happened to<br />
walk in and exclaimed, "what<br />
are you doing?" Blackie sheep-<br />
ishly explained, "can you beat<br />
that? Tony Stack leaves a ten<br />
dollar tip and FORGETS to pay<br />
for his drink!"<br />

answers I got to my questions.<br />

one who when Southern Metho-<br />
dist plays Notre Dame in foot-<br />
ball doesn't care who wins."<br />
Joe Ravida: "Holy Orders?<br />
Fish on Fridays."<br />
Mark Aloisi: "we can save our<br />
soles if we walk on our heels."<br />
Howie Murphy: "Choir Loft is<br />
the closest some singers will<br />
ever get to Heaven."<br />
Paradise, Frank Gioia said,<br />
"is when your mother-in-law<br />
lives 3000 miles away."<br />
Folks, I could go on and on<br />
but just one more gem. I asked<br />
Jim Arigo "where was Moses<br />
when the lights went OUT?" Jim<br />
answered. "In the DARK, where<br />

I first met Kathy at a<br />
Halloween party. We both won<br />
first prize and neither one of us<br />
was wearing a costume. I asked<br />
her for a kiss and she said, "lips<br />
that touch Wine, will never<br />
touch MINE." "That's Okay," I<br />
replied. "I don't like kissing any-<br />
one with a mustache anyway!"<br />

DREAMBOAT of the WEEK<br />
is Luisa Quaceci of <strong>Wilmington</strong>.<br />
Folks, sometimes being a<br />
Business Person, Boss or<br />
Employer isn't a Bed of Roses<br />
especially if my sister Maureen<br />
works for one of them. Maureen<br />
told Kate, "if it weren't for the<br />
good salary, air condition, swim-<br />
ming pool, free theater tickets<br />
and the four weeks vacation, I<br />
swear, I'd quit this stinking job!"<br />
A business man can't win. Ff<br />
he does something wrong he's<br />
fined. If he does something right<br />
he's Taxed.<br />
to present its fall/winter activi-<br />
ties.<br />
This is an open, no-fee club<br />
whose members enjoy biking,<br />
hiking, skiing and socializing.<br />
Information will also be avail-<br />
able on this winter's ski trip to<br />
St. Anton, Austria, membership<br />
is free.<br />

mile wide and shouted, "it's a<br />
