25th Class ReunionA husband and wife went to their High Schools
25th Reunion on the weekend.
There was a guy on the dance oor living it large. He was
breakdancing, moonwalking, step dancing, and just having a good old
time.
The wife turned to husband and said: "See that guy danc-ing?
Twenty- ve years ago he pro-posed to me and I turned him down."
Her husband re-sponds, "It looks like he's still
cel-ebrating!
View change as the one constant in your life. Expect it; welcome
it.

How Police Of cers (and You) Can Spot a Texting Driver
Texting while driving is illegal in 39 states and the District
of Co-lumbia. In most of those states, it's a primary enforcement
vio-lation, meaning the of cer can stop a motorist solely for
texting while driving, says the Governors Highway Safety
Association.
The laws are having an unintended consequence. Instead of
holding the phone up by their face, violators are putting it down
in their laps. They think of cers, cops and troopers won't be able
to see it, says the National Troopers Coalitions, which has 45,000
members.
The troopers say these texters are more dangerous because their
eyes are off the road for a longer time, but they are just as easy
to spot. Generally, they act like drunk drivers, going too fast or
too slow for the traf c, weaving or not paying attention when the
light turns red or green. Sometimes their heads are down and only
one hand is on the wheel.
Of cers advise motorists to give plenty of space to a texter,
be-cause he's an accident waiting to happen. Texters are 23 times
more likely to be involved in an accident than non-texting
driv-ers. If you spot a very dangerous driver, call 911. Police say
you should never confront the individual. That's where road rage
could begin.
A 2009 study showed that sending a text or email takes a
driver's eyes off the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. That's
about how long it takes a vehicle going 55 mph to cover the length
of a football eld.
NBA May Sell Ad Space on Players' JerseysNational Basketball
Association's Adam Silver has announced plans to allow a 2.5-inch
by 2.5-inch ad just below the left shoulder on team jerseys. With
formal approval expected, the move will cre-ate a windfall for the
NBA, generating as much a $100 million in revenue per team each
year. If the deal is formalized, other American big-four sports
will likely follow. European soccer clubs have had sizable
corporate logos on their uniforms for de-cades, bringing huge
incomes.

sensors that measure how high a player jumps and comes with a sport
kit featuring an adapter and charger.
The price was changed from $315 to $270 in September, prior to
the shoe's release. Nike reduced the price on the shoes after
controversy including Internet outrage at the cost.
Nike's shoes have always been widely anticipated but the hype
that preceded release of new shoes also brought unruly crowds and
even violence.
Nike has scaled back its introduction of shoes after incidents
such as one in December 2011, in which police had to use pep-per
spray to break up a crowd of 1,000 shoppers who began ghting before
the 4 a.m. release of the $180 retro Air Jordan XI Concord
sneakers.
In February 2012, more than 100 Orlando police in riot gear were
needed to break up ghts among a crowd that formed before a midnight
launch of the $220 Nike Air Foamposite basketball shoes. Footlocker
cancelled the release.
Nike no longer introduces its new shoes with midnight
extrava-ganza's that tended to draw excited people and put store
em-ployees in danger.

TwinsThere were these two twins, Joe and John. Joe was the owner
of an old dilapidated boat. It just so happened that John's wife
died the same day that Joe's boat sank. A few days later, a kindly
old woman saw Joe and mistook him for John and stated, "I'm sorry
to hear about your loss. You must feel terrible."
Joe, thinking she was talking about the boat, said, "Hell no,
fact is I'm sort of glad to be rid of her, she was a rotten old
thing from the beginning. Her bottom was all shriveled up and she
smelled like an old dead sh. She was always losing water. She had a
bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front too. Every
time I used her, her hole got big-ger and she leaked like crazy. I
guess what nally nished her off was when I rented her to these four
guys looking for a good time. I warned them that she wasn't very
good, but they wanted to use her anyhow. The damn fools all tried
to get in her at once and she split right up the damn
middle!!!"
The old woman fainted.
This couple comes to a new town and the guy gets a job at the
local pickle factory. A few years go by and each year he wins the
employee of the year award. One day in the third year, he comes
home looking all de-pressed.
His wife asks him what the matter is, to which he responds that
he got red.
"FIRED?! How can you get red, you're always employee of the
year!" she asked, stunned.
To this he responds that he had another fantasy that he needed
to ful ll and it got him red.
"Oh no, not again, what did you do this time?" she asks.
Well, I always fantasized about sticking my willy in the pickle
slicer.
"You didn't!" she hoped.
He blushed and replied, "Well, yes I did."
Then she asks, "Did it hurt?"
"No not really," answers the man.
Puzzled, she then asks, "Well what happened to the pickle
slic-er?"
He answers, "Oh, she got red too!"

Alisha the Receptionist asks: I've had a weight problem my whole
life and right now I'm the heavi-est I've ever been. I've tried
dieting and exercising but the pounds won't budge. Please help me,
I'm desperate.Wino: Normally I don't waste my time with fat ass
whiners, but since you sound desperate I suppose I'll throw you a
bone. Screw "eating right" or exer-cising, here's whatcha do.
Smoke. I smoke more than a fourteen year old runway model and it
just looks cool. Drink. I drink so much that my liver is probably
the size of Dolly Parton's titties. Every-one says that alcohol is
fattening, but they're all liars. Booze doesn't have any fat if you
down 6 gin and tonics in less than an hour last thing you want to
do is eat. In fact, you'll probably blow chunks. And of course
there's always cocaine, my favor-ite low-calorie sweetener. Other
than a nosebleed here and there, it's never done me no harm. Good
luck!
Freddie the Department Head asks: I've got a real dilemma that I
hope you can help me with. I'm one of three department heads in a
large of ce. I work closely with another department head, "Sue".
She wants to be a lot more than co-workers, and aside from the
possibility of being red, I'm not at-tracted to this woman at all.
Any advice?Wino: Oh you gorgeous hunk of man esh, please pay
attention. Everyone knows that the workplace is like a steamy bath
house full of sexual intrigue and innuendo. So my advice: Drop a
little note to "Sue" instructing her to meet you at your cubicle
after-hours. When she does, bend her over that Xerox machine, hike
up her skirt, rip those con-trol top pantyhose off her and plow
that dimpled ass! I know you said you weren't attracted to her, but
that's the beauty of this particular position, you don't have to
look at her face.
Dottie the Grandmother asks: I'm 65 and the proud grandmother of
three wonderful grandchil-dren. My son and daughter-in-law both
work full time and I take care of my grandchildren while they work.
Now, I love my grandkids and they're good kids, but they're running
me ragged. What can I do to cope?
Wino: If there's one thing that brings joy to my heart, it's the
sound of happy children playing. Except when they're playing in
front of my home when I'm trying to sleep it off. Your son and
daugh-ter in law are inconsiderate clods, but they're certainly not
stupid like you. This really is simple. Feed the little darlings
some pudding or yogurt at snack-time, add some crushed up Benedryl
and In less than twenty minutes they'll be fast asleep facedown in
the tapioca.

Little Ralphy on MathA teacher asks her class, If there are 5
birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will
be left?
She calls on little Ral-phy.
He replies, None, they will all y away with the rst gunshot.
The teacher replies, The correct answer is 4, but I like your
thinking.
Then little RALPHY says, I have a question for YOU. There are 3
women sitting on a bench having ice cream: One is delicately
licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is
gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off
the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replied, Well, I suppose the
one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.
To which Little RALPHY replied, The correct answer is 'the one
with the wedding ring on, but I like your thinking.

La Las Love Letters
By Lauren Strec
Dear La La, I read your column every month and I get the feeling
you are a very passionate woman. I have to ask, if you had to be an
animal for one week, which animal would you choose to be? And what
would you do? ZookeeperDear Zookeeper, I would be a male lion: Id
sleep all day, wake up and bang all the lionesses, then have them
bring me dinner.
Dear La La, My girlfriend and I were fooling around last week
and right in the middle of it she let out a huge fart. I tried to
just ignore it, but I think she was really embarrassed and has been
avoiding me ever since. Im not quite sure if I should talk about
it. What is the most embarrassing moment you have ever had in your
life? Beans BareallDear Beans Bareall, Wow, that would be really
embarrassing, and I dont blame her for shying away. I think if you
just let it blow over, it will still leave a white elephant in the
room. I would talk it out, to help her get over it. I suggest
GENTLY poking fun at her about it, to break the ice, and then ease
into the fact that we all pass gas. I will be impressed if you cap
off the conversation by tearing ass in front of her, to even up the
score. Overall, she has to face the music, and humor, in my
opinion, is the best way to get over it.
Dear La La, My boyfriend is not a very good dresser and
sometimes I hate going out with him in public. I try to buy him
stylish out ts, but he complains that I am trying to feminize him.
I appreciate his manliness, but how can I get him to take more
interest in his appearance? Looking GoodDear Looking Good, Is it
just a lack of taste, or are we talking about a hygiene issue here?
If his clothes are pit-stained and hes been wearing the same
drawers for a couple days, I can understand your contempt.
But if he just doesnt care about fashion, then you shouldnt be
trying to change him. If youre focusing on something super cial, I
think you need to really think about your love for this person.If
its a matter of swaying him to wear something more appropriate for
the occasion or venue, then I would suggest bringing up the
ensemble in conversation, with a corresponding compliment, before
you go out: Hey remember that black shirt I bought you? I was
thinking about how sexy you look in it you should wear it tonight.
If he goes along with it, be sure to reiterate it throughout the
night (Damn, you look soooo good.), but be sure to NOT gloat or nag
(See? I told you, You look better like this). Think about positive
reinforcement and motivation. Give him a treat at the end of the
night: he did something for you, now return the favor. I bet after
that, he will be more inclined to wear the [shirt] that you
like.
Dear La La, I try to talk turn to my boyfriend when I need
advice or emo-tional support and he just doesnt seem to show much
interest. He tells me to go and talk to my girlfriends about my
problems! I dont feel he is being very supportive of my needs. Any
suggestions? ConfusedDear Confused, If you are complaining about a
catty co-worker, or how the girl at the coffee shop never gets your
order right, then save it for the ladies. Guys dont think the same
way as women, so most women stories are unrelatable and make them
want to stab their own eyes. But if have a serious issue that
requires support, and this guy is not there for you, then ditch
him. I get that some guys may be a little more testoster-one- lled,
and may not be the emotional type. However, any macho guy will
still have the back of the woman he cares about, even if it is
behind closed doors. Clearly and seriously express that you need
him to be there. If he blows you off, after you have communicated
the gravity of the topic at hand, then blow him off.

Three WeddingsThree sisters decided to get married on the same
day to save their par-ents the expense of separate weddings. As a
further step to reduce the price tag, the three sisters resolved to
spend their honeymoon night at home.
Later that night, their mother couldn't sleep, so she went to
the kitchen for a cup of tea.
On her way, she tiptoed by her oldest daughter's bedroom and
heard her screaming.
The mother thought to herself, "That's normal, especially on her
wedding night."
She snuck by her second oldest daughter's room and heard her
laugh-ing.
"That's normal too," she said, smiling to herself.
Finally, she slipped by her youngest daughter's room where she
didn't hear a peep, but she thought nothing of it.
The next morning in the kitchen, after the husbands had gone
out, the woman asked her eldest daughter about last night's noises.
"Well Mom," she replied, "you always said if it hurt I should
scream."
"You're absolutely right sweetheart," the mother assured her,
turning to her middle daughter. "Now why were you laughing?" she
asked.
"You always said if it tickled, I could laugh," she
answered.
"True enough honey." The mother smiled, remembering her newlywed
days. "Now it's your turn, baby," she said turning to her youngest
daugh-ter. "Why was it so quiet in your room last night?"
"Mom, don't you remember? You always told me never to talk with
my mouth full."

UPCOMING EVENTS: NOVEMBER & DECEMBER
Thanksgiving and Christmas, like most holidays, can often be a
hectic time. We are inevitably faced with stressful situations
including overindulging on sweets, long travel excursions, planning
the perfect meal and a heap of other anxieties that accompany
extended periods of time spent with a variety of relatives we
prefer in small doses. To take the edge off of the imminently long
weekend of family, football, and fat clothes, Chicagoans often
begin the holiday frenzy by turning to a night of boozing with
friends affectionately referred to as "Black Wednesday. There are

This is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at
Clemson University.
It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned
it.
It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests. After the wedding,
at the recep-tion, the groom got up on stage with a microphone to
talk to the crowd. He said he wanted to thank everyone for coming,
many from long distances, to support them at their wedding. He
especially wanted to thank the bride's family and his family and to
thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish
reception.
As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give
everyone a special gift just from him. So taped to the bottom of
everyone's chair, including the wedding party was an envelope. He
said this was his gift to everyone, and asked them to open their
envelope. Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his
bride having sex with the best man. The groom had gotten suspicious
of them weeks earlier and had hired a private detective to tail
them.
After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions
for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said,
'F---you!
BELIEVE OR NOT
Love, Love, Love... ClassicThen he turned to his bride and said,
F--- you! Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, I'm
outta here.
He had the marriage annulled rst thing in the morning. While

INDIANS DON'T USE SADDLES...A woman from New York was driv-ing
through a remote part of Ari-zona when her car broke down. An
American Indian on horse-back came along and offered her a ride to
a nearby town.
She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off. The
ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes the Indian would
let out a 'Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a' so loud that it echoed from the
surrounding hills and canyon walls. When they arrived in town, he
let her off at the local service station, yelled one nal
'Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!' and rode off.
"What did you do to get that In-
dian so excited?" asked the ser-
vice-station attendant.
"Nothing," the woman answered "I merely sat behind him on the
horse, put my arms around his waist, and held onto the saddle horn
so I wouldn't fall off.""Lady," the attendant said, "Indians don't
use saddles."
Coffee Station FlirtEvery day, a male employee walks up very
close to a female co-worker at the coffee machine. He stops,
inhales quite deeply and says that her hair smells nice. After a
week of this, the woman can't stand it anymore. She takes her issue
to a supervisor in Hu-man Resources and asks to le a sexual
harassment grievance against the guy. The supervisor is puzzled and
asks, "What's threatening about a co-worker telling you that your
hair smells nice?"She says "It's Jimmie, The midget."

This is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at
Clemson University.
It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned
it.
It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests. After the wedding,
at the recep-tion, the groom got up on stage with a microphone to
talk to the crowd. He said he wanted to thank everyone for coming,
many from long distances, to support them at their wedding. He
especially wanted to thank the bride's family and his family and to
thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish
reception.
As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give
everyone a special gift just from him. So taped to the bottom of
everyone's chair, including the wedding party was an envelope. He
said this was his gift to everyone, and asked them to open their
envelope. Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his
bride having sex with the best man. The groom had gotten suspicious
of them weeks earlier and had hired a private detective to tail
them.
After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions
for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said,
'F---you!
BELIEVE OR NOT
Love, Love, Love... ClassicThen he turned to his bride and said,
F--- you! Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, I'm
outta here.
He had the marriage annulled rst thing in the morning. While
most people would have cancelled the wedding immediately
after nding out about the affair, this guy goes through with the
charade, as if noth-ing were wrong. His revenge? Making the bride's
parents pay over $32,000 for a 300-guest wedding and reception, and
best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's reputations in
front of 300 friends and fam-ily members.

sociated with lung cancer. For example, Myasthenic Syndrome
causes pain in the muscles, particularly in the joints around the
pelvis and thighs, along with muscle weakness and tingling.
Dysphagia pain is typical in lung cancer patients. It causes a
blockage of the major airway and esophagus, which leads to pain and
dif culty in swallowing. These are the obstructions that cause
chest pain and wheezing.
Encephalopathy, caused by lung cancer, is associated with brain
func-tion. It can lead to painful seizures, loss of consciousness,
and involun-tary rapid eye movement.
Lung cancer is also associated with myelopathy, which causes
painful bones, bone-marrow pain and abnormal bone growth leading to
joint pain.
Is today's cigarette worth this whole-body pain? If you quit
now, you can be one of the lucky ones who avoid it.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness MonthLeaders of the November
15th Great American Smokeout ask you to: Help create a world with
less cancer and more birthdays.
Generally, smokers will have fewer birthdays to look forward to.
Tobacco use is the largest pre-ventable cause of premature death in
the United States, yet more than 45 million Americans smoke
cigarettes.
A large percentage of them not only want to quit, but have quit
for a day or more in the past year. That's a start; one that the
American Cancer Soci-ety hopes more smokers will try during The
Great American Smokeout.
Most people want to avoid pain. Others can't stand it. But those
who are having a smoke rarely associate it with the extreme types
of pain as-

What in the World is TBOX Anyway?TBOX stands for(T)welve (B)ars
(O)f (X)mas an annual event held the 2nd Saturday in December each
year in the Wrig-leyville Neighborhood of Chicago. It started out
as just another Pub Crawl, but over the years has evolved into one
of the largest and most spectacular events of its kind in the
world. The event was founded in 1996 by Chicagoan Christopher Festa
as a just for fun event for a few of his friends from work. Over
the years, TBOX has grown from about 60 people at its inception to
an esti-mated 16,000+ participants in 2011. TBOX2012 is being held
on Saturday, December 8, 2012. Originally a sequential tour of 12
bars (based of course on the 12 Days of Christmas carol), TBOX is
now an all-day event, starting at 8:00am and rocks out until the
bars close their doors. The event that runs for 19 hours and
encompasses over 36 bars in the Wrigley area is an event that you
must experience to be-lieve. Since 2007, the event has started and
ended with Opening and Closing Ceremonies and a nale party at the
world-famous Cubby Bear at 1059 W Addison.The event is now owned
and produced by Festa Parties Incor-porated, and tickets go on sale
beginning in late August at www.festaparties.com/buytbox. Make sure
to reserve your spot for this years biggest party of the season and
dont forget to pick up your Participant Kit (Gym Bag, T-Shirt,
Badge, Lanyard, Sched-ule Card, Coupons, Stickers, and other
included items) so you are ready for a day you wont forget. See you
there!SEE PAGE 2

The De nitionThe kindergarten teacher is trying to explain to
her class the de ni-tion of the word "de nitely" to them. To make
sure the students have a good un-derstanding of the word, she asks
them to use it in a sentence.
When called upon the rst student says "The sky is de nitely
blue". The teacher said "Well that isn't entirely correct because
sometimes it's gray and cloudy".
Another student says" Grass is de nitely green". Teacher again
replies "If grass doesn't get enough water it turns brown, so that
isn't really correct".
Another student raises his hand and asks the teacher "Do farts
have lumps?" The teacher replied, "No, and that is not a suit-able
question for class discussion". The student replies, "Then I de
nitely crapped my pants".
