The McCarty Metro - A Family Newsletter - On Guard For Over 43 Years

July 2008

On behalf of our Board of Director’s and the thousands of people with lupus that we serve: Thank You! We are so grateful for all the hard work that goes into hosting such a wonderful event as the Dan McCarty Golf Classic. The final figures are not yet tabulated…but I suspect that this year will be better than ever.

Please let everyone in the family know, along with everyone who golfed or helped at the event, as well as all the Metro readers how much we appreciate everything that you do for the Lupus Alliance.

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country? Well, there's a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. Our OIL is located in Alaska, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas, but our
DIPSTICKS are located in Washington, DC !!!

OLD PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS

An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.' The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, 'Well, doc, it's like this - first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing. The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbor?' The old man replied, 'Yep, none of us could get the jar open.'

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Solution to the Balance of Trade Deficit

OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel. OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel. Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel. Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil! Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled filet of camel butt!!!
