Well, my sister is about to arrive
for a visit, and my President’s
article is due for Sparks. So guess
what my faithful readers! It is time for
more jokes from the pages of the Pasa-
dena Star News. So take a few minutes to
have a laugh, and I will try to be a little
more serious next week.
Questions to ponder:
• Since bread is square, why are balo-
ney slices round?
• Why do you “put in your two cents” but
you only get “a penny for your
thoughts”? Where is that extra penny
going?
• How important do people have to be
before they are considered assassi-
nated rather than murdered?
• How is it that we put men on the moon
before we figured out that it would be
a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
• Why do people say they “slept like a
baby” when babies wake up and cry
every two hours?
• Why do actors appear “in” movies but
“on” television?
• If a deaf person has to go to court, is it
still called a hearing?
Famous quotations
about Government
to ponder in his election year:
• “In my many years I have come to the
conclusion that one useless man is a
shame, two is a law firm and three or
more is a congress.” John Adams
• “Suppose you were an idiot. And sup-
pose you were a member of Congress.
But then I repeat myself.” Mark Twain
• “A government that robs Peter to pay
Paul can always depend on the sup-
port of Paul” George Bernard Shaw
• “Democracy must be something more
than two wolves and a sheep voting
on what to have for dinner.” James
Bovard
Joanna Amador is a consultant
with Diverse Strategies for Orga-
nizing (DSO), a Los Angeles based

outreach and engagement for pub-
lic and nonprofit agencies. DSO is
assisting the Pasadena Unified
School District (PUSD) to solicit
community input for a Task Force
charged with remapping school
board member district boundaries.
Amador is looking forward to in-
teracting with Altadena Rotary to
gain the input of leading Altadena
stakeholders.
As an Associate at DSO, she
works closely with DSO’s manage-
ment team to develop and imple-
ment long-term and short-term
winning strategies on important
projects impacting local communi-
