Man Goes to the Rabbi

A man goes to see the rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it."
The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?"
The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me. "
The rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be? "
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me. What should I do?"
The rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."
The next day the rabbi calls the man and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?"
The man said, "Yes."
The rabbi replied, "Take the poison!"

Chuck says business hasn't been what it used to be since 9-11. "Many of the car rental agencies are struggling," he says.

" I'm in the vehicle washing business after the aerospace rat race and consider Kit one of the factors in my success, " he says. " I have a wife, 3 children, 7 grandchildren and a lot of fun at life. The Internet has been a great supporter of that philosophy with the great people you meet! If you can't have fun and laugh at life, it's not worth sticking around."

Chuck worked for Bell Tel Labs, General Dynamics, GE, and Sylvania before starting his own business twenty-two years ago.

" I now deal with water reclamation, cleaning UPS trucks, Hertz, National, and Avis cars besides Monterey/Salinas busses, and more, " he says. " I travel all over keeping their vehicles clean. I have installed three BART ( Bay Area Rapid Transit ) train washes so you can see where you're going ."

" He is originally from New York, but has lived here in California for over thirty-five years. He loves it here, but says, " New York is a good place to be from."
