Sergeants Session – George
George (who had a very busy night) was very searching in his quizzes on Rotary and found many wanting. He informed us that October is Economic and Community Development Month, while November is Foundation month.
He also quizzed us on when we joined Rotary.
Thanks George – a good session from a Rotarian and new Mayor with so little time.
Raffle was won by a very happy Dan.

Phone
Man: “Hello?”
Woman: “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”
He: “Yes.”
She: “Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw 7 beautiful pairs of shoes. They are absolutely gorgeous! Can I buy them?”
H – “What’s the price?”
S – “Only $2,500.00. all together”
H – “Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much…”
S: “Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman, and he gave me a really good price…and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year…”
H: “What price did he quote you?” W – “Only $60,000…”
H: “OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.”
S – “Great! But before we hang up, something else…”
H – “What?”
S – “It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and…I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and saw the house we had looked at last year. It’s on sale! Remember? The one with a pool, English Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property.”
H – “How much are they asking?”
S – “Only $1,450,000 – a magnificent price…and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover…”
H – “Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $1,200,000. OK?”
S – “OK, sweetie…Thanks! I’ll see you later!! I love you!!!”
H – “Bye…I love u too…”
The man hangs up, and raises his hand while holding the phone and asks all those present: “Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?”
