Heard a Pin Drop!!!
JFK'S
Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when
DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle
said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include
those who are buried here?" DeGaulle
did not respond.

When
in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin
Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq
were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, "Over the
years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great
peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of
land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not
return.

There
was a conference in France where a number of
international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers
came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush
has done? He has sent an aircraft
carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do,
bomb them?"
A
Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three
hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear
powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have
three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they
can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day,
and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured
to and from their flight deck. We have
eleven such ships; how many does France have?"

Can You Tell Me …….?
In 1943 and on one day between March 1st
and May 31st two individuals (world famous) met and decided that,
within 15 months, something was going to happen on planet Earth!
Can you tell me the names of these 2 individuals and
what happened? Good Luck!!!
I was going to answer both of these questions in
this Newsletter but I am going to wait one more week
before doing so. I asked these questions
to two of our league players and both had not read the May 25th
Newsletter. I wonder how many more have
not read it.
If you think you know please send me an email. I’ll give you credit if you do. I don’t believe anyone will get both answers correct. I do believe that, in 1943, we were involved
in a World War!
True or False???
1.
A surgeon in
England branded patients’ livers with his initials!
Answer: True. The doctor has been barred from practicing
medicine.
2.
A competitive sun-tanner’s baby was born with tan lines!
False.
3.
A man shot a hole in one on the same hole four days
in a row!
4.
Drones carrying sausages were used to save a stranded
dog!
Answers next Newsletter.
Note: The only league player I got answers from for
the first two questions was Cecil Begley – he said #1 was False and #2 was
true. Perhaps he will do better this
week!
Did You Know!!!
The construction of the Great Wall of China took
over 2000 years!
Sharks (and possibly Ed Kiffmeyer & Charles
Halpin) are the only animals that never get sick. They are even immune to every known disease
including cancer!
