STAFF VACATION

It's just that time again when we slow down and take some time off. The wife is taking the big silver bird to Newark (NJ) and will visit family and her mom for about two weeks. She usually "directs" that I place some sort of post on line.

Since She will be out of the office Your Chief Editor and Publisher (Its' great to be able to create titles for yourself) will devote some time to photography. Look out for a pictorial soon.

NEIGHBORHOOD HUMOR

Two old Jewish men, Sid and Abe, are sitting in a Mexican restaurant. 

 

Sid asks Abe, “Do you know if any people of our ancestry were ever born and raised in Mexico?"

 

Abe replies, "I don't know." 

 

When the waiter arrives, Abe asks, "Are there any Mexican Jews?"

 

The waiter says, "I don't know señor, I ask the cooks."

 

He returns from the kitchen after a few minutes and says, "No señor, the cook say no Mexican Jews."

 

Abe isn't satisfied and asks, "Are you absolutely sure?"

 

The waiter, realizing he is dealing with "gringos" replies, "I check once again, señor," and goes back into the kitchen.

 

While the waiter is away, Sid says, "I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere!"

 

The waiter returns and says, "Señor, the head cook Manuel, he say there is no Mexican Jews."

 

"Are you certain?" Abe asks again. "I just can't believe there are no Mexican Jews!"

 

"Señor, I ask EVERYONE," replies the exasperated waiter. "All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune Jews, Tomato Jews and Apple Jews, but no Mexican Jews."

 

THE MEN ARE GOING TO SHULA'S

The Veronawalk Gentlemen's Group will hold another April Luncheon at SHULA'S.

Being featured, as usual, is Prime Rib. It will be $23.

Members are asked to sign up early as there is a possibility that this event will be closed.

REHAB CONTINUES

This is one of many bridge that the "Old Guy" crossed today.

He is quite proud of his effort at rehabbing that shoulder. He believes by swinging the arms on top of the usual exercises will do the trick. After all the surgery was Jan 11. At any rat it is good to get out of the house.
