Metro Sound Off - Letters To The Editor
Hey Editor. I wanted to ask a question about your header picture from the March issue of the McCarty Metro.

I know where Steve Hight, Wally Jankowski, and Matt Sholl are, but do you know where Terry Lavely is. I heard that he  became Marilyn Manson -GO BRUINS
ED NOTE: I saw "Smoothy" recently in Las Vegas. He hasn't changed a bit. He was with an unidentified "friend" that I will not disclose. 
In a side note... What happens in Vegas... Oh Nevermind!

Kelly. In regards to your 7' 4" woman, it ain't true.

Just trying to keep you honest.  Boy, it ain't easy! -Raiff
ED NOTE: Whew!!! I almost thought you were going to say that I wrote something that actually WAS true.

Dear McCarty Metro. I'm starting a Women's Final 4 Pool. So far it's just me. Anybody else want to join? -Jill
ED NOTE: I couldn't care less. Women's basketball is not a sport. You could take the top NCAA ladies team, and they couldn't beat "The Assassins" on their best day. In a side note... the team of PISTOL, DRJ, BIGM, BEANIE & D haven't lost a game since the double-overtime heartbreaker vs. the Henry Ford II Chess club back in 1975.

Kelly: I remember how no one ever was able to get me on April Fools Day and I made sure everyone knew it. One year, my middle son Brad must have planned for weeks to get me. Needless to say, I ended up drenched that day. No more bragging for me. Nuff said!

A Letter To My Metro Staff
.

March 30, 2006
.
Dear Metro Staff:

It is advised that when you come to work under the basement steps, that you dress according to your salary. If I see you wearing Prada shoes & carrying a Gucci bag I assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better so that you may buy nicer clothes and therefore, you do not need a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.
.
PERSONAL DAYS: Each reporter will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday. 
.
LUNCH BREAK: Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim Fast and take a diet pill.
.
SICK DAYS: I will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
.
RESTROOM USE: Entirely too much time is being spent in the bathroom. There is now a strict 3-minute limit in the john. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted in the McCarty Metro under the "Chronic Offenders" page.
.
SURGERY: As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.
.
Thank you for your loyalty to The McCarty Metro. I am here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplation, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Our Family & Friends SitesApril Joke o' The Month

A poor couple gave birth to a set of twins. They were so poor that they had to give the babies up for adoption, to ensure that they could lead good lives with people who could care for them. One brother was adopted by a family from Mexico, and they named him Juan. The other brother was adopted by a family from India, and they named him Ammal. 20 years passed, and one day, the birth mother received a letter and a picture from her son Juan. She was so happy to read his words and see his picture. She excitedly showed them to her husband when he came home. They were very happy. Then she sighed sadly. Questioned by her husband, she said, "I only wish Ammal had sent a picture too. I'd love to see what he looks like." Her husband looked at her and said, "dear, they're twins. If you've seen Juan you've seen Ammal."
