Lounge / Re: what are your hobbies? ;)

Hi there, Kippy.  My hobbies are gardening, reading and painting.  I signed up with Mr. Sena's Art Class at U.P. last year. 

I leave the downloading, gaming and surfing to my son who is most likely your age level.  When we have problems with the computer and internet, he is our "guru."  He can build a CPU (or the whole thing) from scratch and surplus parts.

How about you, Mr. Joe Carillo, what are your hobbies?

Proper Grammar, a man's perspective (author unknown..deliberately, I suspect..)

On my 66th birthday, I got a gift certificate from my wife.
The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby
reservation that was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile
dysfunction. After being persuaded, I drove to the reservation,
 handed my ticket to the medicine man and wondered what would happen
 next.

The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to me,
and with a grip on my shoulder, warned, "This is powerful medicine
and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say
'1-2-3'.  'When you do that, you will become more manly than you have ever been
in your life and you can perform as long as you want."

I was encouraged. As I walked away, I turned and asked, "How do I
stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,' he
 responded. "But when she does, the medicine will not work again until
 the next full moon."

I was very eager to see if it worked so I went home, showered,
shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited my wife to
join me in the bedroom. When she came in, I took off my clothes and
said, "1-2-3!"

Immediately, I was the manliest of men. My wife was excited and began
throwing off her clothes. And then she asked, "What was the 1-2-3
for?"

And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences
 with a preposition!

ONE COULD END UP WITH A DANGLING PARTICIPLE!!

Words fail me at a time like this.  It is so funny.  My hats off to the Manager.  You can't argue with his reason!

That is so cute, hilarious and REAL.  However, it is also a very effective information campaign!  My first reaction would be to read it again, take a picture and share to friends for a good laugh.  Haha.
