Rotaract Visit on May 2, 2013 May 9 th Speaker University of San Diego Rotaract members discussing Medical Brigades to Ghana (left to right) Trevor Hall, Shakhnoza Nasriddinova and Patrick Smith Rotary Humor An 86 year old man went to his doctor for his annual check-up. The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86 year old said, things are great and I ve never felt better. I now have a 20 year old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that doc? The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began to tell a story. I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day he was setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. As he neared a lake, he came across a very large beaver sitting at the water s edge. He realized he d left his gun at home and so he couldn t shoot the magnificent creature. Out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if were his favorite hunting rifle and went bang, bang. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. Now, what do you think of that? asked the doctor. The 86 year old said, logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that creature. The doctor replied, my point exactly. R/S Mark Matthess Former Oklahoma Governor David Hall talked about how he spent 19 months in prison. All is discussed in his book Twisted Justice: A Memoir of Conspiracies and Personal Politics available at Amazon.com Interact Member Bridgette Do and Kim Guevarra Harris with a check for the Sudan Water Project Volume 59 No 5 Page 3 of 5 June 1, 2013
