"JOKE OF THE MONTH"

The rules are simple to win: No "xxx" jokes, sorry. Kit Menkin cannot win  (relatives, friends and employees can enter and win). Please note, if in the decision of the judges there is no "best" joke, a previous month may be included, and like in horseshoes, there are no ties. Winners of previous months can also win a second or third time - There is no limit.

Please send me your favorite joke. The first one to send it, not only gets the credit, but a good bottle of wine or a box of chocolates (the winner’s choice).


Winner for September

Captain James Sloan, Salvation Army
of San Jose, California

Jim is the administrator of the Adult Rehabilitation Center for the Salvation Army, serving four counties, Santa Clara, Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito. The Salvation Army Thrift Store sales support this program, and Jim is also in charge of this. His wife Barbara, holding the rank of Captain, helps him tremendously in this job and their ministry. They have served the Army for six years.

They have three children and three granddaughters. "I love humor because it helps me not take myself and my situation too seriously, " Captain Sloan says." I was fortunate to grow up in a loving family where humor was part of our daily life. I have tried hard to pass that on to my kids."

POLISH AIR DISASTER

Rescue workers have so far uncovered 826 bodies and expect to find more as the digging continues...
