THURSDAY, FEB 26: DEDICATION
CEREMONY FOR THE EDWARD RAY
PARK (formerly Sports & Leisure Park)
4PM, 15th Street & Sonoma. City officials and the Edward Ray Family will
be there for the unveiling of new sign
for the park. Public is invited. “Ed” Ray
will be long remembered as a local hero and the Chowchilla school bus driver, who along with 26 children, were
kidnapped on July 15, 1976. After being driven around for 11 hours in two
vans, Ed and the children were entombed in a buried van trailer at a Livermore quarry. Thanks to Ed Ray and
a few boys, after being buried alive for
16 hours, they all escaped through a
van roof, that had been weighted
down. Please come celebrate with Ed’s
Family at this dedication ceremony of
the Edward Ray Park.
Politically Correct Verbage
Ever want to call someone stupid, but
want to do it in a way that is politically
correct? Here’s some suggestions:
A few clowns short of a circus
A few fries short of a Happy Meal
A few beers short of a six-pack
Doesn’t have all his cornflakes in one
box.
The wheel’s spinning but the hamster’s
dead.
One Fruit Loop shy of a full bowl.
All foam, no beer
Warning: Objects in mirror are dumber
than they appear
The elevator doesn’t go all the way to
the top floor
Missing a few buttons on his remote
control.
No grain in the silo
As smart as bait
The cheese slid off his cracker
Important Notice: Due to recent
budget cuts, the stock market crash,
and rising cost of electricity, gas, and
oil, the light at the end of the tunnerl
has been turned off.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Government
Quote of the Week
Some days I just wished I had the
wisdom of a 90 year old,
the body of a 20 year old
and the energy of a 3 year old.
I wish there was a way to donate fat
like you can donate blood.
I was told I don’t have alzheimers. I
have “some-timers”...sometimes I remember, sometimes I don’t.
A cop pulled a blonde over for speeding and said, “Papers….”
The blonde said, “Scissors, I win!”
and then drove off…
Life is too short to be serious all the
time. So if you can’t laugh at yourself,
just call us and we’ll laugh at you.
SOME SENIOR BUMPER STICKERS:
I’m retired. I was tired yesterday. I’m
tired again today.
At my age...happy hour is a nap!
I’m speeding because I have to get
there before I forget where I’m going!

Two things define you. Your patience
when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.
CAN YOU READ THIS???
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty
uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The
phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan
mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at
Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word
are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that
the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit
pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses
and you can still raed it whotuit a
pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn
mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by
istlef, but the word as a
wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I
awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
One Day the Devil challenged the
Lord to a baseball game. Smiling
the Lord proclaimed, "You don't
have a chance, I've got Babe Ruth,
Mickey Mantle, and all the greatest
players up here." "Yes", laughed
the devil, "but I have all the umpires!"
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?"
The Princess said, "No!!!" And the Prince lived happily ever after and
rode motorcycles and dated skinny long-legged women and hunted and fished
and raced cars and went to bars and dated ladies half his age and drank whiskey, beer and imported Scotch and never heard complaining and never paid
child support or alimony and kept his house and guns and ate spam and potato
chips and beans and all his friends and family thought he was cool and he had
tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up. The end. Please remember, it’s just a fairy tale!
The secret of staying young is to live
honestly...eat slowly...and lie about
your age.
GREAT TRUTHS ADULTS HAVE LEARNED
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to
a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet,
with a few nuts
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's
nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like
jogging on the inside.
6) Old age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
SOME PUNS
When you get a bladder infection, urine
trouble.
What does a clock do when it's hungry? It
goes back four seconds.
I wondered why the baseball was getting
bigger. Then it hit me!
