Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.


George: That's what I want to know.


Condi: That's what I'm telling you.

Condi: Hu is leading China.


George: Now whaddya' asking me for?


Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.


George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?


Condi: That's the man's name.


George: That's who's name?


Condi: Yes.


George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of
China?


Condi: Yes, sir.


George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle
East.


Condi: That's correct.


George: Then who is in China?


Condi: Yes, sir.


George: Yassir is in China?


Condi: No, sir.


George: Then who is?


Condi: Yes, sir.


George: Yassir?


Condi: No, sir.


George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get
me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.


Condi: Kofi?


George: No, thanks.


Condi: You want Kofi?


George: No.


Condi: You don't want Kofi.


George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And
then get me the U.N.


Condi: Yes, sir.


George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.


Condi: Kofi?


George: Milk! Will you please make the call?


Condi: And call who?



George: Who is the guy at the U.N?


Condi: Hu is the guy in China.


George: Will you stay out of China?!


Condi: Yes, sir.


George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.


Condi: Kofi.


George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.


(Condi picks up the phone.)


Condi: Rice, here.


George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should
send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in
the Middle East?

ALL YOU GOLFERS OUT THERE SHOULD IDENTIFY WITH THIS ONE!

A murder has been committed.

Police are called to an apartment and find a man standing, holding a 5-iron
in his hands, staring at the lifeless body of a woman on the ground.

The detective asks, "Sir, is that your wife?" "Yes."

"Did you hit her with that golf club?"

"Yes. Yes, I did," the man answers. He stifles a sob, drops the club, and
puts his hands on his head.

"How many times did you hit her?"

"I don't know. Five ..six ..... put me down for a five."

 

 

 

For those of you who heard about the big ice storm in northwest Connecticut,

here are some pictures of what it did to our site. It seems that the 1987 storm

that hit us in the middle of October, when leaves were still on the trees, did about

the same amount of damage. So how do we make lemonade out of this lemon?

 We let Raf and Greg get out the chain saws over their Thanksgiving break.

Since they want spending money for college, we are happy to provide cleanup work!

We have to deal with the stumps too.  Isn't it weird that these are color pictures?

 

 

 

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK ALONE
 

 Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home
 (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the
 job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in
 your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up
 into your jaw.  You are only about five miles from the
 hospital nearest your home;  unfortunately you don't
 know if you'll be able to make it that far. What
can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that
 taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform
it on yourself.
 Since many people are alone when they
 suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be
 in order.
 Without help, the person whose heart stops
 beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has only about
 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However,
these victims can help themselves by coughing
 repeatedly and very vigorously.
 A deep breath should be  taken before each cough.

The cough must be deep and
 prolonged, as when  producing sputum from deep inside
the chest. And a cough must be repeated
 about every 2  seconds without let up until help arrives, or until
 the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
 Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing
 movements squeeze the heart and keep the
 blood  circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also
helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart
 attack victims can get to a  hospital.

Speaking of juvenile behavior, this is why wives complain
