Catherine and her husband are members of the RC of Drysdale. She is a schoolteacher cum crossword puzzle compiler of considerable skill as she has already written one book (of 48 puzzles) on the subject with another on the way. A unique development of that very popular pastime is the use of code words, a sample of which was distributed at the meeting. Gordon King tackled his with enthusiasm and not a little skill, but others were observed saving theirs for the endeavors of their partners at home. Well that's their story anyway! Not only is Cathy's innovation a real challenge, but it is also claimed to ward off dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
According to J Fox the meeting closed in peace, love and harmony at 1956 hours – a b….. record.
Thanks too foxy for taking the notes.
Why AFL football isn't what it was, including why Pres Dick is not a multi-millionaire.
Dick closed the meeting with a comparison of the admin; salaries paid to a selected few in the 1960's as opposed to the millions it now costs to run an AFL club. Foxy reckons there is not much change out of $20 million in today's climate. Dick played in four winning premierships and only one loosing one for Richmond.
- Note to members – Apologies must be in by 11a.m. on MONDAY! Notification later than this is of no use. Co-operation with this would be appreciated. Phone number: 0457 315 900 AG.
P.S. Can you hear me?
A man feared that his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not sure how to approach her, he called the local doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him a simple test he could use to have a better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what to do", the doctor said, "Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal speaking tone see if she hears you, if not go to 30 feet, then 20 and so on, until you get a response." That evening his wife was in the kitchen preparing dinner and he was in the den. He thinks this is about 40feet away, let's see what happens. Then in a normal speaking voice he asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" There is no response. So, he moves closer to about 30 feet away and asks again: "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response. So he walks into the kitchen, about 10 feet away and asks again, "Honey what's for dinner?" Still no response, so he walks up behind her to ask again, "What's for dinner?" His wife turns to him in a thoroughly exasperated way and says "FOR THE FIFTH TIME, I HAVE TOLD YOU – IT'S CHICKEN!"
