A little giggle:-
A Police Officer called his Station on the radio. “I have an interesting case here, an old lady has shot her husband for stepping on her kitchen floor after she had just mopped it” “Have you arrested the woman?” “Not yet, the floor is still wet.”
"I did not know that!"
This is a new column, it's a great idea of Keith Adams. Please see below and contribute something!
"Hi, Roxane,
The Bulletin this week reminded me about a meeting I was going to schedule, which was for each member to tell the Club something about themselves that was not generally known by others. Your present changing situation informed me of some of the things you are doing, of which I was unaware. Also, at funerals I am constantly surprised by the things that people have done in their lives that I did not know anything about.
So, as Program Manager for the Rotary Club, at the next non-meeting, I would ask that all Rotarians, Friends and Guests provide a short statement about themselves that may not be known by others in the Club.
My Statement: I have been growing native trees and shrubs from seed for Trees for Life since 1996. I have planted 10 boxes of seeds in tubes each year for 24 years, which is 60 trees per box, 600 trees a year.
Some years I have been able to propagate extra boxes of trees, when the tree growth has been good and I thin them down to one tree per tube. This amounts to 14,400 trees over the time that have been picked up by farmers, graziers and others.
I like to think that it is doing something to improve the environment at a time when land clearing and forest destruction is occurring at an alarming rate throughout the world.
Keith Adams"

Coronavirus Bulletin Board
The Club meetings provided lots of Fellowship, allowing everybody to catch up with what everybody else had been doing. In an attempt to keep some of that fellowship going, I ask members to submit information, anecdotes, gossip or jokes so that we can use the Bulletin to keep in touch with each other.
From John Tunnicliff
If you have not read the tribute to Brian Knowles in the latest RDU magazine, please do so. I was privileged to know Brian and his wife Nancy for many years at Parkwood Rotary Club in Queensland. It is just amazing how much one man could do for Rotary all over the world.
Apart from being on the RI board as Treasurer, he was instrumental in the Polio Plus program right from the beginning, and he represented the RI President many times in many countries.
Brian and Nancy were both incredibly smart, kind, and generous people, perhaps they could be described as a true Lady and Gentleman. Rotary Downunder describes his many achievements in much more detail.
My joke for the day.
Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, Kin ya swallar?' The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?' The woman ...begins to turn blue, and shakes her head no. The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers, and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm, and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table. His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'
Hahahahahahahahaha
I'm having a quarantine party this weekend! None of you are invited.
I've eaten 14 meals and taken 6 naps and it’s still today are you kidding me...
I’m starting to get a tan from the light in the fridge, and all my buttons are self distancing.
I just saw a burglar kicking his own door in. Asked him what he was doing and said he was working from home.
Hahahahhahahahahahah
From Peter Sich
"Hi Roxane,
Mignon and I visited Jimmy Miller on Saturday and he's in good spirits. Under observation after his fall mainly due to chest injury sustained. He is able to walk around reasonably well. Visitors welcome.
Whilst at Tanunda Hospital we also visited Colin Gramp ( a couple of rooms away). He's under observation re several slight heart attacks. Resting, medication being checked. A little fragile but lucid as always. Would no doubt also benefit from visits.
Cheers
Sichy"

"On hearing ill rumour that Londoners may soon be urged into their lodgings by Her Majesty's men, I looked upon the street to see a gaggle of striplings making fair merry, and no doubt spreading the plague well about. Not a care had theses rogues for the health of their elders!"
