No!
No! No! – IRS Golf League Play for June 8th Cancelled!!!
The League tried
their best on Wednesday this week but the rains were
just too much to handle and the bottom line result was “play was cancelled”. All 8 matches on both nines began play but no
matches were completed. We were in the
process of getting all 16 team captains together for a vote on whether or not
to cancel play or wait for the rains to subside but California Course
Management “closed the course” making our vote not necessary.
This means that the
June 8th matches will now be played on Wednesday, July 13th!
So far this year we Wednesday weather has not been
kind to our league. I have begun saying
daily prayers to the Golfing Gods to give us a break the rest of the season.

Questions of the
Weak!!!
1.
What odd
number becomes even when beheaded???
Answer: Seven – behead the “S” and you’re left with “even”!
2.
Where did the
name “Tuxedo” originate from???
Answer: In 1889, a well-dressed man
named Griswold Lorillard wore a black dinner jacket with no tails to a country
club in Tuxedo Park, New York. Admirers
of the jacket asked their tailors to make copies of the
“jackets
worn in Tuxedo”, giving rise to the tuxedo name.
3.

You Could Have
Heard a Pin Drop!!!
A
U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French
Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing
with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those
countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their
drinks, but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans
learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, Why
is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather
than speaking French?"
Without
hesitating, the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged
it so you wouldn't have to speak German."

AND..... THIS
STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE... Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman
of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a
few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. "You have been to France before,
monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to
France previously. "Then you
should know enough to have your passport ready." The American said, "The last time I
was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible.. Americans always have to
show their passports on arrival in France !" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long
hard look. Then, he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at
Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I
couldn't find a single Frenchman to show a passport to."

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!
Answer: The
two individuals are British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and POTUS Franklin
D. Roosevelt met at the White House and set a date for what would become
D-Day. This was on May 19, 1943. They previously met on May 12, 1943 and discussed other matters relating to the war. It was on December 7, 1943, that President
Roosevelt sent a handwritten message to Marshall Stalin of Russia telling him
that General Eisenhower would command Operation Overlord which began with
D-Day.
Can You Tell Me …….?
June 6, 1944, was not the initial date planned for D-Day. What day was the initial planned date? Why was it moved? And, the day before the invasion took place
one of Eisenhower’s generals advised him not to go through with the
invasion. Who was this general and why
did he make this request? I look forward
to hearing from Cecil Begley and Erich Kientz on these questions!
True or False???

England branded patients’ livers with his initials!
Answer: True. The doctor has been barred from practicing

2.
