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 />

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 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 />

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 />
