Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?'80% held up their hands.The Minister then repeated his question.All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.‘Mrs. Neely? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?'‘I don't have any.' She replied, smiling sweetly.'Mrs. Neely, that is very unusual. How old are you?''Ninety-eight.' she replied.'Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?'The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said:‘I've outlived the bitches.'

A man walks into the front door of a bar. He is obviously drunk. he staggers up to the bar, seats himself on a stool, and with a belch, asks the bartender for a drink.The bartender politely informs the man that it appears that he has already had plenty to drink--he could not be served additional liquor at this bar but could get a cab called for him.The drunk is briefly surprised then softly scoffs, grumbles, climbs down off the bar stool, and staggers out the front door.A few minutes later, the same drunk stumbles in the side door of the bar. He wobbles up to the bar and hollers for a drink. The bartender comes over, and still politely--but more firmly refuses service to the man due to his inebriation. Again, the bartender offers to call a cab for him.The drunk looks at the bartender for a moment angrily, curses, and shows himself out the side door, all the while grumbling and shaking his head.A few minutes later, the same drunk bursts in through the back door of the bar. He plops himself up on a bar stool, gathers his wits, and belligerently orders a drink.The bartender comes over and emphatically reminds the man that he is clearly drunk, will be served no drinks, and either a cab or the police will be called immediately.The surprised drunk looks at the bartender and in hopeless anguish, cries "Man! How many bars do you work at?"
A woman visited her plastic surgeon who told her
about a new procedure called 'The Knob,' where
a small knob is placed at the top of the woman's
head and could be turned to tighten up her skin
and produce the effect of a brand new face-lift.
Of course, the woman wanted 'The Knob.'
Over the course of the years, the woman
tightened the knob, and the effects were
wonderful, the woman remained young looking
and vibrant.
After fifteen years, the woman returned to the
surgeon with two problems.
'All these years, everything has been working just
fine. I've had to turn the knob many times and
I've always loved the results. But now I've
developed two annoying problems: First, I have
these terrible bags under my eyes and the knob
won't get rid of them.'
The doctor looked at her closely and said, 'Those
aren't bags, those are your breasts.'
She said, 'Well, I guess there's no point in asking
about the goatee...'

WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE , I'M BROKEA little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner. 'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.''Go away!' said the old lady. 'I'm broke and haven't got any money!' and she proceeded to close the door.Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.'Don't be too hasty!' he said. 'Not until you have at least seen my demonstration.'And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.'If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.'The old lady stepped back and said, 'Well let me get you a fork, 'cause they cut off my electricity this morning.'
It may be that your sole
purpose in life is simply to
serve as a bad example.
REDNECK VACATION Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob tells Luther, 'Ya know, I reckon I'm 'bout ready for a vacation. Only this year I'm gonna do it a little different. The last few years, I took your advice about where to go. Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Earlene got pregnant. Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas, and Earlene got pregnant again. Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earlene didn't get pregnant again.'Luther asks Billy Bob, 'So, what you gonna do this year that's different?'‘This year I'm taking Earlene with me.'

Hurricane Season, which extends from June 1 to November 30, is now upon us. Historically, September and October are the most active months. According to experts the key to hurricane or tropical storm protection is preparation. By taking sensible measures before, during, and after a hurricane, many lives can be saved and property damage averted. Although most of the impacts associated with tropical storms and hurricanes occur in the coastal areas, these storms can also affect inland areas. The biggest threat to life and property inland is damage from flash flooding and landslides due to excessive rainfall. A hurricane preparedness plan includes three basic things that are important in the threat of any severe weather event, and not just for hurricanes: 1. Maintaining a disaster or emergency supply kit; 2. Securing your home and property; 3. Having a safe place to go in the event of evacuation or prolonged utility outage. A disaster or emergency supply kit should include the below listed items as a minimum. Consult the two websites provided at the end of this email for additional information and more detailed lists.- Water - have at least four litres of water available per person per day for three to seven days- Food - maintain a supply of non-perishable food that is enough for at least three to seven days. This should include non-perishable items such as: canned food/juices, food for infants or the elderly, snack foods, a non-electric can opener- First Aid Kit, medicines and prescription drugs- Sleeping bags, blankets and pillows- Flashlights and batteries- Battery operated radio- Toiletries and hygiene items - including toilet paper, soap, moisture wipes- Clothing - put aside at least one change of clothes per person, including rain gear and sturdy shoes or boots- Telephones - ensure cell phones are fully charged. Each home should be equipped with a traditional, non-cordless phone- Cash - bank machines, credit cards, and other forms of electronic commerce may not be available during an emergency- Important Documents - place essential documents in a waterproof container (ID, passports, medical records, insurance information, etc)- Fuel - fill all vehicle fuel tanks in advance of a storm- Tools - have a set with you during the storm- Specialty items for the children, elderly. Games, toys, and books to keep you and children entertained.- Pets - plan for you pets by having a sufficient supply of food and water available for them. If you need to go to a shelter, have a plan in place for where your pet will go.The following web sites have further information available on hurricanes specifically and emergency preparedness in general.Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada:

Sometimes I wake

PRICE OF GAS IN FRANCEA thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings
from the Louvre.
After careful planning, he got past security, stole
the paintings, and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks
away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a
crime and then make such an obvious error, he
replied, 'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the
paintings.'
I had no Monet
to buy Degas
To make the Van Gogh.'
See if you have De Gaulle to show this to
someone else.
I printed it because I figured I had nothing

An elderly man goes into a brothel and
tells the madam he would like a young
girl for the night. Surprised, she looks
at the ancient man and asks how old he
is.
"I'm 90 years old," he says.
"90!" replies the woman. "Don't you
realize you've had it?"
"Oh, sorry," says the old man. "How
much do I owe you?"

A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite.
He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches
it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing
back down to earth. He tries this a few more
times with no success.
All the while, his wife is watching from the
kitchen window, muttering to herself how men
need to be told how to do everything.
She opens the window and yells to her
husband, "You need a piece of tail."
The man turns with a confused look on his face
and says, "Make up your mind. Last night, you
told me to go fly a kite."
YA GOTTA LUV POLITICAL SPIN!Judy, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889." Judy emailed Hillary Clinton @NY. Gov for comments. Hillary's staff of professional image adjustors cropped Remus' picture, scanned it, enlarged the image, and edited it with image processing software so that all that's seen is a head shot. The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows: "Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
A cop was rushed into the operating room
for an emergency appendectomy. The
surgery went well, but afterwards he had a
weird pulling sensation on his chest. Worried
that something else might be wrong, he
lifted his hospital gown to take a look.
Attached firmly to his chest hairs was a wide
strip of tape. “Get well soon” was written on
it, and it was signed: “The nurse you gave a
ticket to this morning.”

A great way to lose weight is to eat while you are naked and standing in front of a mirror. Restaurants will almost always throw you out before you can eat too much.
DIETS & DYINGHere's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.CONCLUSION:Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
IT'S TIME TO DIET AND EXERCISE WHEN......You try to do a few push ups and discover that certain body parts refuse to leave the floor....your children look through your wedding album and want to know who Daddy's first wife was....you get winded just saying the words "six-kilometre run."...you come to the conclusion that, if God really wanted you to touch your toes each morning, He would have put them somewhere around your knees....you analyze your body honestly and decide what you should develop first is your sense of humour....you step on a talking scale and it says, "Come back when you're alone."...to you, "Itsy-Bitsy Teenie-Weenie Yellow Polka dot Bikini" and "The Impossible Dream" become the same song....you accept the fact that you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but not while you're wearing a bathing suit.

Our young daughter had adopted a stray cat. To my distress, he began to use the back of our new sofa as a scratching post. "Don't worry," my husband reassured me. "I'll have him trained in no time." I watched for several days as my husband patiently "trained" our new pet. Whenever the cat scratched, my husband deposited him outdoors to teach him a lesson. The cat learned quickly. For the next 16 years, whenever he wanted to go outside, he scratched the back of the sofa.

NEW ALPHABET A is for apple, and B is for boat,
That used to be right, but now it won't float!
Age before beauty is what we once said,
But let's be a bit more realistic instead.
Now our Alphabet
A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's the chest pains, perhaps car-d-iac?
D is for dental decay and decline,
E is for eyesight, can't read that top line!
F is for fissures and fluid retention,
G is for gas which I'd rather not mention.
H..high blood pressure--I'd rather it low;
I..for incisions with scars you can show.
J is for joints, out of socket, won't mend,
K is for knees that crack when they bend.
L 's for libido, what happened to sex?
M is for memory, I forget what comes next.
N is neuralgia, in nerves way down low;
O is for osteo, bones that don't grow!
P for prescriptions, I have quite a few, just give
me a pill and I'll be good as new!
Q is for queasy, is it fatal or flu?
R is for reflux, one meal becomes two.
S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T is for Tinnitus; bells in my ears!
U is for urinary; troubles with flow;
V for vertigo, that's 'dizzy,' you know.
W for worry, NOW what's going 'round?
X is for X ray, and what might be found.
Y for another year I'm left here behind,
Z is for zest I still have-- in my mind.
I've survived all the symptoms, my body's
deployed,
And I'm keeping twenty-six doctors fully
employed!!!

HAVE A HEART FINAL RESULTS.As you will remember we ran the Have a Heart fundraising campaign during July to help Ken Fisher & his family pay for his triple heart bypass operation.As many of you will attest, during the month of July Costambar was a dangerous place if you just wanted a quiet drink or sandwich without being asked to dig deep to help Ken! To all of you who "endured" our various schemes to seperate you from your money we say a big "Thank You".We held two charity auctions at the Barcode Sandwich Bar. We had well over 100 lots varying from a box of Oxo cubes - which were popular with The Brits! - to tickets for tours & attractions all over the North Coast. Peter
The auctioneer braved power-cuts & "stray" dogs - you had to be there! - & his sterling efforts ensured that very nearly all lots were sold.The grand total raised was 89,000 pesos, which considering that it is the summer & Costambar is "empty" is absolutely fantastic!Ken & Sue immediately donated 13,000 pesos to help the father of their friend & neighbour Jorge who was in hospital after a fall from a ladder. This money bought drugs & treatment which enabled him to go home 2 days later! Already your money is making a real difference to one family.We live in a fabulous community & the Have a Heart campaign has proved that despite our differences we can work together to help each other.THANK YOU COSTAMBAR!

He was an amazing guy.'Passenger: 'Sounds like he was something really special.Cabbie: 'There's more... He had a memory like a computer. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right.'Passenger: 'Wow, some guy then.'Cabbie: 'He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished he was the perfect man! He never made a mistake.

After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London,
all the brewery presidents decided to go out for
a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey
Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a
Corona."
The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf
and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best
beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a
Budweiser."
The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer
made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give
me a Coors."
He gets it.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give
me a Coke."
The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives
him what he ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him
and ask "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?"
and the Guinness president replies,
“Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer,
neither would I."
Duct tape is like the Force.
It has a light side & a dark
side, and it holds the
universe together.

Dear Auntie Social:
I’m planning to move my life to the North Coast
and am really excited! Unfortunately, I’m not
wealthy enough to just live a life of leisure and
will have to have a source of income. I’ve been
doing my research and brainstorming and have
come up with what I think is a great business
plan. Instead of going the beach bar route I
think I’ve found a thus far untapped business
opportunity. I’ve noticed a distinct lack of
tanning salons on the North Coast and plan to
open a chain of them all along the coast. I
value your advice Auntie - do you think I’ve
come up with a great plan or what?
Signed
Brains and Bronze
Dear Bronze:
You chose your business school off the back of a
matchbook, didn’t you?
Do yourself a favour and get your own little
beach bar where you can spend the days
enjoying cold Presidentes and having
enlightening ‘brainstorming’ sessions with many
others that have the same keen business
acumen you demonstrate.

APPARENTLY, IN LUPERON, WHEN THEY SAY

GOLF EXPLAINEDGolf!: Can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies, obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer. Golf!: You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks! Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls. The term "Mulligan" is really a contraction of the phrase " maul-it-again." A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ... neither of whom can putt very well. An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse. Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink. If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme putt", you might wish to reconsider this game. Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you. Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won't work , and both are pretty damned expensive! The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.
CROSS EXAMINATIONA defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial - it went like this: Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? A. No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away. Q. Officer, who provided this description? A. The officer who responded to the scene. Q. A fellow officer provided the description of this so- called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?A. Yes sir, with my life. Q. With your life? Let me ask you this then officer - do you have a locker room in the police station - a room where you change your clothes in preparation for you daily duties?A. Yes sir, we do. Q. And do you have a locker in that room? A. Yes sir, I do. Q. And do you have a lock on your locker? A. Yes sir. Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers? A. You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room. With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called.
