House:
As stated in the last three Poops, the Abbey Burger (which made an outstanding
offer in the winter) has decided not to reopen in 2020 and will be evaluating
2021. Our list of possible meeting
venues has gotten shorter. If considerations
of social distancing continue on, then Denney's that was marginal before may
now be off the list. Alley Oops may now
be marginal.
The
Board of Directors met recently and recommended that any meetings we might have
from now until the end of the season should be held at the American
Legion. They have been booked for May,
June, July, August and Sept if they happen.
Voting
for the "most of the time favorite" will of course be delayed and
will likely include only the American Legion (available all year) and Alley
Oops (off season only). Others would
likely be for emergencies only. Our
situation seems to be ever changing.

Penguin
Swim: Until further notice, the Penguin Swim
fundraising activities have been put on hold.

he apologized for any delays, very short on employees. Bill’s cell phone if you have any questions is
410-430-7902. Thanks, Rich.

Funny Poop

A
defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial --
it went like this:
Q: Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
A: No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away.
Q: Officer, who provided this description?
A: The officer who responded to the scene.
Q: A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?
A: Yes sir, with my life.
Q: With your life? Let me ask you this then officer, do you have a locker room in the police station, a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?
A: Yes sir, we do.
Q: And do you have a locker in that room?
A: Yes sir, I do.
Q: And do you have a lock on your locker?
A: Yes sir.
Q: Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those officers?
A: You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes defense attorneys have been known to walk through that room.
Q: Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
