‘BIG ENOUGH TO COUNT, SMALL ENOUGH TO CARE’
Joke of the Month
No one believes seniors . . . everyone thinks they are senile.
An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood
sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighbourhood after they retired. Holding hands,
they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk
they’d shared, where Jerry had carved “I love you, Sally.”
On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armoured car, practically landing at their
feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she
counted the money - fifty thousand dollars!
Jerry said, “We’ve got to give it back.”
Sally said, “Finders keepers.” She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.
The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighbourhood looking for the money, and
knocked on their door. “Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armoured car
yesterday?”
Sally said, “No”.
Jerry said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.
Sally said, “Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile”
The agents turned to Jerry and began to question him.
One said: “Tell us the story from the beginning.”
Jerry said, “Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday ...”
The first police officer turned to his partner and said, “We’re outta here!”
ANZAC Day
It was good to see a good support for ANZAC Day and big thanks to the Lions for manning the
Kitchen for lunch. All the proceeds from lunch were donated back to the Lions Club.
And The Sub Branch Boys for erecting a cover out the back for the two-up
It was good to see the services represented maybe not as many as usual but government says
funding is tight.
