Later, the arres(ng cop opened the cell and said, ''Sorry for the mistake. I pulled up behind your car while you were flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak. I no(ced the bumper s(ckers that said 'What Would Jesus Do?' and 'Follow Me To Sunday-School', so naturally...I assumed you had stolen the car.'' Do you know how to make a blonde's eyes light up? Shine a flashlight in her ear. FREE BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS 2nd WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH RELAY FOR LIFE CAPTAIN KICK-OFF Cancer affects us all —Survivors, care givers and families.

Only $25 for En(re Day! All Ages—All Breeds My wife and I got into a conversa(on about life and death, and the need for living wills. During the course of the conversa(on I told her that I never wanted to exist in a vegeta(ve state, dependent on some machine and taking fluids from a boFle. She got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all my beer. Some(mes it's tough being married to a KNOW—IT-ALL. Everything I Need to Know, I learned from Noah’s Ark… Don’t miss the boat. Remember that we are all in the same boat! Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark. Stay fit. When you’re 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big. Don’t listen to cri(cs; just get on with the job that needs to be done. Build your future on high ground. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs. Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails and turtles were on board with the cheetahs. When you’re stressed, float awhile. Remember the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. No maFer the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow wai(ng. A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor for his annual physical. While her husband dressed, the doctor went out to the wai(ng room to chat with her. “I don’t like the way your husband looks,” he said soNly. “Neither do I,” she replied. “But he’s handy to have around the house.” Why did the blond right “TGIF” on her shoes. To remind her toes go in first. CHOWCHILLA CLEAN-UP DROP-OFF EVENT—OCT 18 & OCT 25 Chowchilla Residents Only - MUST SHOW PROOF OF RESIDENCY. DROP OFF ONLY! NO CURBSIDE ITEMS PICKED UP!

A blond tells about her first (me on a horse. "I got on this preFy liFle horse and it just took off galloping. I tried to hang on but, the saddle was slippery and I started to fall off. I was yelling for help and hanging on for dear life. I really thought I was going to die!" Then a man at Walmart came up, unplugged it from the wall and it stopped. “ A bruneFe goes to the doctor and says her body hurts wherever she touches it. "Impossible," says the doctor, "Show me." She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams and so on. The doctor says, "You're not really a bruneFe are you?" She says, "No, I'm really a blonde." "I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken." An overweight blonde consulted her doctor for advice. The doctor told her to run 10 miles a day for 30 days. This, he promised, would help her lose 20 pounds. The blonde followed the advice, and, aNer 30 days, she was pleased she had lost the 20 pounds. She phoned the doctor and thanked him. At the end of the conversa(on, however, she asked: "How do I get home, since I am now 300 miles away?" There’s a new bra for middle-aged women. It’s called the “Sheep Dog” as it rounds them up and points them in the right direc(on. Remember: that silence is some(mes the best answer. Morris Schwartz is dying and on his deathbed. He is with his nurse, his wife, daughter and 2 sons, and knows the end is near. So he says to them: "Bernie, I want you to take the Beverly Hills houses." "Sybil, take the apartments over in Los Angeles Plaza." "Hymie, I want you to take the offices over in City Center." "Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residen(al buildings downtown" The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Morris slips away, she says to the wife, "Mrs. Schwartz, your husband must have been such a hard working man to have accumulated so much property." Sarah replies, "Property shmoperty...the schmuck had a newspaper route." CORRECTION: WIDOWS & WIDOWERS LUNCHEON, will be held Friday, Oct 31, at Noon, Masonic Hall, 224 Ventura Blvd. Luncheon $10.
