Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez –
Well,
all of a sudden the holidays are here! Our
very best wishes for a blessed Thanksgiving for all our members, their friends
and families. Life can be tough, but we
all have many reasons or people to be thankful for. Our Christmas Party comes up right after
Thanksgiving on December 7th at the Big Easy. Our last 2018 Roost meeting will be December
13th at OC 360. Please bring a
contribution of canned goods to the December 13th meeting. The canned goods will be donated to Diakonia,
the local food bank and homeless shelter. My white Ford pick up truck will be parked out
front to accept canned food donations and plastic bags as usual. I'm thankful for all the friends I have met by
being a member of Roost #44!!!!! GO
RAVENS!!!

haven't already purchased raffle tickets for the beautiful handmade Roost quilt

use more volunteers to help sell the tickets ASAP!

step up and provide leadership for the Roost. Nominations will be closed at the December
meeting and the election will be held at the Roost Meeting on January 10, 2019.
SCHOLARSHIP
COMMITTEE
As you
probably know, after many years of leading our Scholarship Committee that
provides thousands of dollars each year through our Golf Tournament, Marc
Grimes is stepping down. Along with
Marc, there are several other members who have worked for years to make this
such a successful program. Many of them
are also stepping down after volunteering more than their share of time and
effort. Along with the Penguin Swim, the
Scholarship Committee is one of the two major charitable programs that the
Roost conducts each year.
In 2019,
we will continue this Tournament. We are looking for volunteers and "new
blood" to join the Committee. It's
an excellent way to get involved with the Roost. Don McMullen and I will cochair the committee.
We already have some volunteers - Steve Szlasa,
Gary Miller, Mike Eder, Pat Ladner and Fritz Ladner. I've talked with Marc and we will hold a
Transition Meeting in January to get his input and expertise in planning next
year's Tournament. Stay tuned and think
about volunteering yourself.

Funny Poop
·
A father walks into a restaurant with his young son.
He gives the young boy three nickels to
play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly,
the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the
nickels and starts slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up two of the nickels, but
keeps choking. Looking at his son, the
father is panicking, shouting for help.
A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking
woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper
and sipping a cup of coffee. At the
sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds
the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her
way, unhurried, across the restaurant.
Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his
pants; takes hold of the boy's' testicles and starts to squeeze and twist,
gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses
violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her
free hand.
Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the
nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without
saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no
ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her
saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was
fantastic. Are you a doctor?"
"No," the woman replied. "I'm with
the IRS."
