MEMORIAL DAY
Every year,
Americans observe Memorial Day on
the last Monday in May. Originally
called "Decoration Day", it is a day
designated to commemorate those who
have died in combat while serving in
the US Armed Forces. Memorial Day is
often confused with Veteran’s Day,
which is celebrated to honor all living
soldiers and sailors who have served in
an American war. It originates back to
the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the
20th century, Memorial Day had been
extended to honor all Americans who
have died while in the service of their
country. Since 1971, when President
Nixon declared it a national holiday,
Memorial Day has been observed on
the last Monday in May by most states.

work on %me. Every day he was 5, 10,
15 minutes late. But he was a good
worker, really %dy, clean-shaven,
sharp-minded and a real credit to the
company and obviously demonstra%ng their "Older Person Friendly"
policies. One day the boss called him
into the office for a talk. "Charley, I
have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but being late so oQen
is quite bothersome." "Yes, I know

what I like to hear." "Yes sir, I understand your concern and I will
try harder." Seeming puzzled, the
manager went on to comment, "I

often?" The old man looked down,

When a man volunteers to do the barbecue, the following is
the chain of events: A real man uses
black charcoal from a 245 pound bag.
He squeezes a pint of lighter fluid onto the charcoal. Then he lights a
match by striking it against one of the
following surfaces:
1 - the concrete sidewalk
2 - the side of his house
3 - the stubble on his face.
The flames should shoot up to
about 1 half of 1 inch from his eyebrows. In fact, any man that s%ll
has all his eyebrows is not a man who
has grilled. At this point, a man
squirts another 3 quarts of lighter fluid on the fire. Why? Because it's cool.

A blonde wanted to know whether she
could take her new dog on board an
airplane. The customer services assistant said it would be fine as long as
she paid $50 and provided her own
kennel. “The kennel,” he added,
“needed to be large enough for the
dog to stand up, sit down, turn around
and roll over.” The woman replied: “Oh
dear, I'll never be able to teach him all

me a sexy li?le smile, reached into her purse
and pulled out a crumpled $20 bill. "Have
you ever seen a $50 bill all crumpled up?"
she asked. "No," I said. She gave me another
sexy smile, reached into her bra and pulled
out a crumpled $50 bill. "Now," she said,
"Have you ever seen $40,000 all crumpled
up?" "No," I said, intrigued. "Well, go and take
a quick look in the garage."
