Hey all
Look at me editing my 150th edition of this fabulous stream of bits that
somehow come together and form the Juice and Gin (International
Newsletter of Mystery) every damn week. Let's take a moment and reflect
on the good times we've had around here...
Ah, memories. Wasn't that fun?
This was originally supposed to be just an easy way to fill up the
introduction. But there's still a lot of crap going on, so let's jump
into the thick of things.
First off (SHAMELESS PLUG), the Pool League is still going strong, with
a bunch of new people coming out over the last couple of weeks. New
players are always welcome... check the Ongoing Events section for
contact info.
Looks like the PARTE gang over at Nortel is coming back to life after
some absence from the scene. (Not like there's been a whole lot of
activity on NUTS's part...) They've got their mailing list up and
running, and it looks like there are some some events and things on the
go for the summer. You can visit their Yahoo group at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PARTE/
I'll try and keep up to date on their events and plug them in here when
appropriate. I saw some messages about rollerblading on the Ottawa
River Parkway. There was also a note that Jason L. is planning a White
Water Rafting jaunt on August 14. Contact
mailto:jasonl$nortelnetworks.com if that sounds like your cup o'tea.
Until next time,
Everyone likes the smell of maple syrup, but no one wears it as a
cologne.

And now, the rest of the story...

Little Old Lady
===============
A good looking biker stops by the Harley shop to have his bike fixed.
They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and
would just walk home.
On the way home, he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket
and an anvil. Next, he stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple
of chickens and a goose. However, he now had a problem, how to carry
all of his purchases home.
The owner said, "Put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one
hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other
hand."
"Hey, thanks!" the biker said, and out the door he went.
But in the parking lot, he was approached by a little old lady who told
him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 1603
Mockingbird Lane?"
The biker said, "Well, as a matter of fact, I live at 1616 Mockingbird
Lane. Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there
in no time."
The little old lady looked him over cautiously, then said, "I am a
lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we
get in the alley you won't hold me against the wall, pull up my skirt,
and ravish me?"
The biker said, "Holy smokes, Lady! I'm carrying a bucket, an anvil,
two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you
up against the wall and do that?"
The lady said, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the
anvil on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."
