Pirate Ship - 311 Talbot St. August 26th 6:30 to 8:30. Please arrive by 6pm. Boat
leaves at 6:30 sharp. There's a cash bar onboard.
Money is needed by our Aug meeting. We had to send a
$300 deposit and boat costs $800 so if you signed up, we are counting on you to
go otherwise everyone else will have to pay more to cover cost. This is not a
fund raiser. You can mail money or drop it off (38329 Maple Ln Selbyville, DE
19975) but again, I need it by Aug 12th, not on the day of the trip.
Some people like to dress up so you're encouraged to
be a pirate or pirates wench! Let's have some fun!

Funny Poop
A young man was walking through a
supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him
around. Thinking nothing of it, he
ignored her and continued on. Finally he
went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. "Pardon me," she said, "I'm
sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who
just died recently."
"I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "is
there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say
'Good bye, Mother'? It would make me
feel so much better."
"Sure," answered the young man.
As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye,
Mother!" As he stepped up to the
checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. "How can that be?" He asked, "I only purchased a few
things!"
"Your mother said that you would pay for her," said
the clerk.
