**For those of you who remember Jack Paar and the "Tonight Show".

An English lady, while visiting Switzerland, was looking for a room, and she asked the schoolmaster if he could recommend any to her. He took her to see several rooms, and when everything was settled, the lady returned to her home to make the final preparations to move.
When she arrived home, the thought suddenly occurred to her that she had not seen a “W.C.” [water closet, a euphemism for toilet] around the place. So she immediately wrote a note to the schoolmaster asking him if there were a “W.C.” around. The [Swiss] schoolmaster was a very poor student of English, so he asked the [Swiss] parish priest if he could help in the matter. Together they tried to discover the meaning of the letters “W.C.,” and the only solution they could find for the letters was “Wayside Chapel.” The schoolmaster then wrote to the English lady the following note:
Dear Madam:
I take great pleasure in informing you that the W.C. is situated nine miles from the house you occupy, in the center of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and it is open on Sunday and Thursday only. As there are a great number of people and they are expected during the summer months, I would suggest that you come early: although there is plenty of standing room as a rule. You will no doubt be glad to hear that a good number of people bring their lunch and make a day of it; while others who can afford to go by car arrive just in time. I would especially recommend that your ladyship go on Thursday when there is a musical accompaniment. It may interest you to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. and it was there that she met her husband. I can remember the rush there was for seats. There were ten people to a seat ordinarily occupied by one. It was wonderful to see the expression on their faces. The newest attraction is a bell donated by a wealthy resident of the district. It rings every time a person enters. A bazaar is to be held to provide plush seats for all the people, since they feel it is a long felt need. My wife is rather delicate, so she can’t attend regularly. I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you if you wish, where you will be seen by all. For the children, there is a special time and place so that they will not disturb the elders. Hoping to have been of service to you, I remain,
Sincerely,
The Schoolmaster
The comment above about Jack Parr brought back a memory about the early days of Television. Art Linkletter had a live on camera show called "Kids say the Darndest things" in which Children were brought on stage and Art asked them various questions. This was all done live so some of the answers were quite humorous. One little girl was brought out and Art asked her about her home life and the little girl responded that she lived with her mother and didn't have a daddy. Art kind of evaded the answer, but asked her if she had her own room, to which the little girl responded, No, she slept with her mother, every night, but Wednesday night. When asked why she didn't sleep with her mother on Wednesdays, the little girl replied that "That was when uncle Fred came to visit".
The Censors shut the show down right there and for the next 45 minutes or so, there was only a test pattern. (Remember those?)
At the local lake every day and see it all the time. Always men.
I am fortunate enough to have a lake within a 5 minute's walk.
I see guys on phones all the time while fishing.
Does anyone go anywhere or do anything without the damn things?

I do. I leave it home half the time. I guess I am addicted to something else. I am not a "Wally".

My doctor has advised me to stop drinking.
It's going to be a massive change for me.
I've been with that doctor for 15 years.

TV has changed quite a bit since then!
Are there even Censors anymore?

So you have prepared yourself for the final journey: You put yourself into the trash, are about to get trashed and later put out with the trash.

Don't let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out as a basket case.
This setup looks familiar to anyone here?
Talk about climbing the steps to relieve the pressure.

In political news, the CEO of IKEA was just elected president in Sweden.
He should have his cabinet together by the end of the week.
