 ~~ Due to the continuing water shortage in Dublin, the local swimming pools have announced they are closing lanes 7 and 8.
Thank you.



~~ At an interfaith retreat some time ago, the organizers
decided to allow for a free afternoon of just socializing.
A priest, minister, and a rabbi went fishing together.
After awhile, the priest said, "Brother, Rabbi, would you
please both excuse me, I've got to pee."
He laid down his fishing pole, stepped over the side of the
boat, and walked across the water to the shore.
He finished his business, then walked back across the water
to the boat.
The minister said, "Father, I didn't want to be the first to have
to go," stood up, stepped over the side of the boat,and
walked right on top of the water to the shore.
He also finished his business, zipped up, and walked back
on the water right back to the boat.
The rabbi was awestruck. Imagine -- WALKING on water!
He thought to himself, "well, if they can do this, so can I!"
He excused himself to the priest and minister, put his pole
down, stepped over the side of the boat... and sunk like a rock.
The priest turned to the minister and said,
"You think we should have told him where the rocks were?"



~~ I got arrested at the airport last week.
Apparently, security doesn't appreciate it when you call
"shotgun" while boarding a plane.



~~ During a visit with a friend at an assisted living center,
I was invited to stay for lunch.
As we entered the cafeteria, she leaned toward me and
whispered, "They have two lines here.
We call them cane and able



~~ What do you call a guy with a rubber toe?
Roberto....



~~ By her own admission, the recipes which appeared in
Tamar Myers' culinary mystery novels improved over the years.
Myers' bridge club celebrated the publication of her first novel,
'Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth', by baking a cake using a
recipe outlined in the book.
The result? "It exploded in the oven."



~~ My grandmother got arrested at the airport.
During a security check they found her knitting needles.
The guard said " and just what do you plan to do with these?".
Grandma responded " make an Afghan."



~~ Patient: 'And when my right arm is quite better,
will I be able to play the trumpet?'
Doctor: 'Most certainly - you should be able to play it with ease.
Patient: 'That's wonderful - I could never play it before.'



~~ "I played a lot of tough clubs in my time.
Once a guy in one of those clubs wanted to bet me $10 that I
was dead.
I was afraid to bet." (Henry Youngman)



~~ Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, made history when she
made a bet [with Mark Antony, Roman consul in Egypt]
that she could eat at one meal the value of a million
sisterces.
One million sisterces was many years' wages for the
average worker.
Everyone thought that her wager was impossible.
After all, how could anyone eat so much at a single meal?
Cleopatra was able to eat a meal worth so much by
putting a million sisterces worth of pearls
[according to Pliny], into a glass of vinegar.
Then she set the goblet aside while the dinner was served.
The vinegar dissolved the pearls.
At the end of the meal, when it was time for her to fulfil
her gamble, she simply drank the dissolved pearls.

~~ Patient: 'Doctor, have you got anything for my liver?'

Doctor: 'What about some onions?'



~~My wife fell in love with an antique bowl at an auction,
and her sister offered to help her get it.
When bidding began, we were all seated in different parts of
the room, with me waiting for them in the last row.
As the price of the bowl began to skyrocket,
I quickly saw the problem.
My wife and sister-in-law were bidding against each other.
I quickly motioned to them to stop, but it was too late.
The auctioneer's hammer came down. "Sold," he said,
"to the gentleman in the back."

make the best out of the way things turn out."



Rae's Trivia;  When was Warren a rat-catcher?

Warren Beatty's first job came at 17.
The National Theater, Washington, DC had been plagued by
rats.
The actors pressed theater management to hire an official
rat-catcher and young Beatty, desparate for a job in the theatre,
landed the role.
