Thank you all for coming to my retirement party!

Same Class?
While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate hanging on the wall; it gave his full name. Thinking hard, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my hgih school class some 36 years ago.

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, greyhaired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attened the local high school.
"Yes," he replied.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "In 1971. Why?"

"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely, and then the thoughtless idiot asked, "What did you teach?"

That's when I knew it was time to retire!

Furniture Needed

Hi Everyone!!

As most of you know by now, Wil and I are moving into an apartment together on June 1st. As excited as I am to take this next big step with him, I am even more excited to start decorating!! (ha ha, juuuust kidding... sort of) ;-)

I thought this was a good place to start and see if anyone could help us with two items we need:

1) Black kitchen chairs (preferably 4, but 2 will suffice)
2) A queen sized metal bed frame. The bedroom is small so I don't want the bed frame to be too overpowering.

If any of you have these items tucked away in an attic collecting dust balls and cob webs, Wil and I would be more than happy to take them off your hands! ;-)

Thank you!!

Love, Lauren

ITALIAN Women are TOUGH!

An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite tomato sauce and ravioli coming up the stairs.

He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Gripping the railing with both hands, he dragged himself downstairs.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs and gazed into the kitchen, where if not for death's agony, he would've thought he was in heaven already, for there, spread out upon the kitchen table were hundreds of his favorite ravioli.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his wife of 67 years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

He threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees. The wondrous taste of the ravioli already on his lips as he reached out to touch one of his beloved foods.

Suddenly he was smacked with a wooden spoon by his wife who said:

" BA - FONGOOLA NO TOUCH ! ! ! DIS'A FOR YOU FUNERAL ! ! ! "
