flow and service at our monthly meetings. If you want to have dinner at OC 360 at our

dining room BEFORE the meeting. We WON'T
be taking food orders during our Roost meeting. Only drink orders. If you order dinner that is not ready by the
time the meeting begins, your order will be brought in, but again, NO food
orders will be taken during the meeting. OC 360 has generously offered to have modest
snacks on the tables for us at the meeting. So, if you want to have dinner at OC 360,
please come early enough to have dinner BEFORE the meeting.

you to a 20% discount on food, beverage & apparel purchases at the Original
Greene Turtle (116th St.). We encourage
all Roost members and committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle!
Remember that we collect plastic grocery bags at
every Roost meeting. These bags are used
by Diakonia (Local Food Bank & Homeless Shelter) to distribute food
contributions to the needy. My white
Ford pickup truck is parked in front of OC 360 at every Roost meeting. Simply put your plastic bags (tied up
tightly) in the bed of the truck. This
is a great way to recycle plastic bags for a good cause.

Funny Poop

An American soldier, serving in World War II, had
just returned from several weeks of intense action on the German front lines. He had finally been granted R&R and was on
a train bound for London. The train was
very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an
empty seat.
The only unoccupied seat was directly adjacent to a
well dressed middle aged lady and was being used by her little dog. The war weary soldier asked, “Please, ma’am,
may I sit in that seat?”
The French woman looked down her nose at the
soldier, sniffed and said, “You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can’t you see my Little Fifi is using that
seat?”
The soldier walked away, determined to find a place
to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found himself
again facing the woman with the dog.
Again he asked, “Please, lady. May I sit there? I’m very tired.”
The French woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, “You
Americans! Not only are you rude, you
are also arrogant. Imagine!”
The soldier didn’t say anything else; he leaned
over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat
down in the empty seat.
The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that
someone defend her and chastise the soldier.
An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke
up, “You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the
wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in
the wrong hand. You drive your autos on
the wrong side of the road.
“And now, Sir, you’ve thrown the wrong bitch out the
window.”
