FROM THE BRIDGEby Roger Reece

Last week's meeting was back in the Banquet Room with a greatturnout of members and guests. Michelle Cray, a formerDoncaster member and George Puchlenko, a former DoncasterSunrise member, both joined us to catch up with old friends andenjoy the fun and fellowship of the evening. It was great to seethem both.

We welcomed our guest speaker Lindsay Knight who talked about a VisionScreening program to detect Amplyobia (lazy eye) in young children aged 4to 7 years.

I also had the pleasure of formally inducting David Lunt, a transferringmember, into our club.

The number of announcements made by members at the meeting show justhow much is going on in our club at the moment with projects being launchedand a continuing roster of activities.

After the meeting three teams Fundraising, International and Youth & NewGenerations met. The enthusiasm and activity level in the room was evidenceof how people are getting involved and contributing.

In addition the Foundation team met at Carlucci's last Saturday for breakfastand reported they had a very productive meeting

'Which Australian state was the Northern Territory part of until the 1860's?'

I will announce the answer at next week's meeting.

Last weeks answer was 'The $50 note'

SERGEANT'S SIZE TEN'Sby Chris Potter

WHY WOULD YOU LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Tony and Robyn were 85 years old and had been marriedfor sixty years. Though they were far from rich, theymanaged to get by because Tony watched their pennies. Though not young, they were both in very good health,

largely due to Robyn's insistence on healthy foods and exercise forthe last decade. One day, their good health didn't help when they went on yetanother holiday and their plane crashed, sending them off toHeaven. They reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and finesilks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the masterbath. A maid could be seen hanging their favourite clothes in thecloset. They gasped in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome toHeaven. This will be your home now.'

Tony asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'Why,nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven.' Tony looked out the window and right there he saw a championshipgolf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth. 'What are the greens fees?' grumbled Tony. 'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, everyday.' Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch,with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood tosteaks to exotic deserts, free flowing beverages. 'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to Tony. This is Heaven, it is allfree for you to enjoy.' Tony looked around and glanced nervously at Robyn. 'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods and thedecaffeinated tea?' he asked. That's the best part,' St. Peter replied. 'You can eat and drink asmuch as you like of whatever you like and you will never get fat orsick. This is Heaven!' 'No gym to work out at?' said Tony 'Not unless you want to,' was the answer. 'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or' 'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.' Tony glared at Robyn and said, 'You and your Bloody Bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!' GUIDO THE ITALIAN LOVER

A virile, middle-aged Italian gentlemen named Guido was relaxingat hisfavourite bar in Rome when he managed to attract a very goodlooking youngblonde woman. Things progressed to the point where he invited herback to his apartment and, after some small talk; they retired to hisbedroom where they became very passionate.

After a pleasant interlude he asked with a smile, "So, you finish?"

She paused for a second, frowned, and replied, "No."

Surprised, Guido reached for her and the passion resumed.

This time it was more intense and there were screams of delight

They finally relax and again, Guido smiles and asks, "You finish?"

Again, after a short pause, she returns his smile, cuddles closer tohim and softly says, "No."

Stunned, but damned if he was going to leave her unsatisfied, Guido reaches for her yet again. Using the last of his strength, he barely manages it, but they end together screaming andpanting. Exhausted, Guido falls onto his back, gasping.

Barely able to turn his head, he looks into her eyes, smiles proudly and asked again, "You finish?

Barely able to speak, the beautiful blonde whispers in his ear,

"No, I come from Sweden."JESUS AND THE BURGLAR

A burglar broke into a house and shone his flashlight around lookingfor valuables. He picked up a CD player when a strange, disembodied voiceechoed from the dark saying: 'Jesus is watching you.'

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked off his flashlight andfroze. When he heard nothing more he continued. Just as he pulled thestereo out he heard: 'Jesus is watching you.' Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically. Finally, in the corner of the room his light beam came to rest on aparrot. Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.'Yep,' the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warnyou that he's watching you.' The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'

Moses,' replied the bird. Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name abird Moses?' "The same kind that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."
