THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BETTER CATHOLIC JOKES

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had an open-heart
bypass surgery. He awakened from the surgery to find himself
in the care of nuns at a Catholic Hospital. As he was recovering,
a nun asked him questions regarding how he was going to pay
for his treatment.

She asked if he had health insurance.
He replied in a raspy voice,"No health insurance."
The nun asked if he had money in the bank.
He replied, "No money in the bank."
The nun asked, "Do you have a relative who could help you?"
He said, "I only have a spinster sister,who is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced loudly,
"Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."

The patient replied, "Then send the bill to my brother-in-law."

:: Lynette - Up To Date ::

hey kids! how's things with ya? i know, i know... i spaced out again... but between the hectic schedule that is my life, i've barely had enough time to sleep and breathe, much less do anything else...

and it doesn't look like it's gonna let up anytime soon... some may say that i 'brought this on to myself', i'm not exactly complaining... i like what i do on weekends... be it out sailing on Jenny II, sailing a laser, or being the Race Control Bitch at the Club, i enjoy it, and i look forward to the weekends every week. but i've finally realised what 'Monday Blues' really are...

i want to say SORRY to those of you whom i've had to break appointments with the past few weeks... that bout of flu just hit soooo hard, i nvr even saw it coming! heee... hopefully, i'll be able to catch a breather, and a cuppa or two, in time to come, when everything settles down...

well... Andrew's coming to town!!! *big grin* yes, sireee... got a quick sms frm him the other night (more like, morning!!! 3am!!!) saying that he'll be in town in march! It's going to be great catching up with him face to face after all this emails/sms thing and such... so, whee! =)

what else? what else? oh, right... FRAN! it's been ages since we talked, and i miss that woman something crazy!!! it's funny how in our world of modern technology, it's still so hard to stay in contact with someone who is but a 5 hour flight away... *shrugz*

anyhoo... i'm writing this post in the office, on a quiet friday afternoon... no sunshine beers for me this week, thank you very much. =p so i'll keep this short...

:: And Who Will I Marry?? ::

I DO!!! I DO!!! hee... i didn't rig this quiz.. i swear!! Angel got Josh Hartnett, and i thought, yea... i'd like him, too!! hehe... but Orlando Bloom is waaaaaaaaaay better!!! *drools*


You are going to Marry Orlando Bloom. He will
always treat you right and is very romantic. He
will do anything for you. He is very polite and
has deep brown eyes and is very good looking
(which is another plus!). He can make anything
cheesy look really hot(like sliding down stairs
on a shield shooting arrows or wearing pointy
ears for example). Congrats!!

:: Funny Story ::
hey folks... apologies if i'm boring some of you lately with a bit too much sailing stuff, but i'm in a sailing mood, finally having the time to sail more on weekends!

here's a funny bit frm the Bowman's Union webbie...

"I was sailing as an Italian on Mandrake in the Admiral's Cup in '92 with John Kolius. In the Fastnet Race it was between us and an English 50-footer, and we were more or less match racing them to Fastnet Rock. It was really blowing, with maybe 15-foot swells, and we're out there bashing around with our No. 2s up -- but it was one of those deals where it's so close that you don't want to change your headsail unless the other guy does. So we got ready, and the next thing you know the other guy's jib just rips in half. So I run up to change our jib, with the halyard in my right hand and the new jib in my left, and all of a sudden we come off a wave and crash down to the bottom. The bow's dropping faster than I am, so I'm kind of up in the air for a while, and when I land on deck my hand just touches the No. 2, and it explodes. I go flying out through the shreds, still with the jib and halyard, and I figure, 'Well, better leave the jib on the boat.' So I let go of that, reach up and grab the halyard with my other hand, swing back, drag through the water, and just unzip the rest of the jib all the way back. Now I'm hanging there like Tarzan, thinking 'Oh shit, here comes the transom.' So I let go and catch the stern pulpit with both hands, and all of a sudden I'm just standing on the stern, outside the lifelines. Up on the rail, everybody's eyes are all over the place, trying to see where I am. Kolius turns around and sees me and says, 'Prussia, what the hell are you doing there? Get back on the bow and put that jib up.'"

i was just laughing and laughing as i was reading it... d'oh!
