Thought for the week

President Cheryl's Message
 
 
Hi everyone
 
A fascinating speaker last week, Neil Dickinson on the history of the tanning industry. Relieved to note we have advanced significantly over the centuries! Some of the chemicals were lethal. It was also lovely to welcome Neil’s wife Sue and to have our District Governor Jan drop in.
 
As numbers are increasing at the Club and we are having nil attendance via zoom I have suspended this as a meeting option. It can always be reinstated if we find it needed. Next week our guest speaker is Sheree from the Timaru Budget Advisory Trust. I suspect with the increasing cost of living the demand for their services has also risen. I’m sure I’m not alone in rethinking what I grow myself versus buying at the supermarket to keep my grocery bill down.
 
Have a good week
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

Editors Humour.
 
On vacation in Hawaii, Sandy, called a café to make reservations for 7 p.m.
Checking her book, the cheery young hostess said, "I'm sorry, all we have is 6:45. Would you like that?"
"That's fine," Sandy said.
"Okay," the woman confirmed. Then she added, "Just be advised you may have to wait 15 minutes for your table."

Mary's husband, Daniel, had been promoted to a newly created position. He was eager to find out what his official title was, so when his business cards finally arrived, Mary was surprised that he seemed reluctant to show her. After some persuasion, Daniel gave her a card, naming him 'Director of Product Efficiency'.
"Wow," Mary responded, "that sounds impressive."
"Not really," Daniel replied as he removed Mary's thumb from the acronym underneath. It read DOPE.

Stuck in rush-hour traffic, Burt couldn't help but stare when a burly biker wearing a black leather jacket and chaps pulled up next to him on a shocking pink Harley Davidson. Burt's first thoughts were, "Is that really a pink Harley? I wonder if he's…" Just then the traffic cleared and he pulled in front of Burt. On the back of his helmet were the words "Yes, it is. No, I'm not."

Mathew while waiting in line at the AA for his new license plate, heard the clerk shout out, "E I E I O."
"Here," the woman standing next to him answered.
Curious, Mathew asked if she was married to a farmer, or maybe taught preschool.
"Neither," she replied. "My name is McDonald."
