Wachusett Area Rotary Club Meeting Notes
Previously Award Winning Bulletin by Gary Hough “BTTB”
TALL TALES
Wachusett Area Rotary Club August 22nd 2008
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND PRAYER: Duncan called the meeting to order at 7:30AM. Rickshaw was a no show and Duncan led the pledge and said the prayer. It was a little rocky and although
he occasionally stumbled for words he scored with us because he took one for the team. He could have easily employed the KP strategy of assigning the prayer to some poor unsuspecting slob who just walked in.
9.5 for the effort.
VISITORS AND GUESTS: Newguy Dan: reports that there were only 2 Rotarians present today along with 2guests:
Blesed Aysi visiting Rotarian from Ghana

Joe Sullivan celebrating his 37th wedding anniversary and recognizing Jack Connors anniversary also.
Savvas is pleased that the kids have moved.
Greg is happy the US has amassed a bunch of medals at the Olympics.
Jan Scott is heading for Atlantic City for vacation.
Cheryl hopes to see golf added to the Olympics
Steve Groccia reports he is back in the saddle after the recent spill on his bike. Happy also that he hasn’t seen Wayne-O on the road.
Duncan is back to Maine for more vacation.
Duncan noted that a guy caught a twenty pound catfish using his daughters “Barbie” rod and reel.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The golf tournament is about three weeks away and we desperately need to continue focusing on it. Please line up your golfers and get commitments for signs. This is our only real fund raiser this year.
KP reminds us to get our raffle items valued at $30 or more. You can give Ken a check for that amount if you don’t have time to get your own.
The District Governor will visit us next week.

A new guy in town walks into a bar and notices a very large jar behind the counter, which is filled to the brim with ten-dollar bills. The man guesses there must be thousands of dollars in it and approaches the bartender to ask: "What's up with the jar?"
Bartender: "Well, you pay ten dollars and if you pass three tests, then you get all the money."
Man: "What are the three tests?"
Bartender: "Pay first. Those are the rules."
So the guy gives him the ten bucks and the bartender adds it to the jar.
Bartender: "OK, here's what you have to do. First you have to drink that whole gallon of pepper tequila - the WHOLE thing at once - AND you can't make a face while doing it. Second, there's a pit bull chained up out back with a sore tooth. You have to remove the tooth with your bare hands. Third, there is a 90-year-old woman upstairs who's never had an orgasm in her life. You gotta make things right for her."
Man: "Well, I know I've paid my ten bucks but I'm not an idiot; I won't do it. You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of tequila and get crazier from there."
Bartender: "Your call. But your money stays in the jar."
Well, as time goes on and the man drinks a few, he asks, "Wherez zat teeqeelah?"
He grabs the gallon of tequila with both hands and downs it with a big slurp. Tears are streaming down his cheeks, but he doesn't make a face. Next he staggers out back and soon all the people inside hear a huge scuffle going on. They hear barking and screams, yelps, and growling, then eventually silence.
Just when they think the man must surely be dead, he staggers back into the bar with his shirt ripped and big scratches all over his body.
"NOW," he says, "where's that woman with the sore tooth?
LOTTERY: Jack Curran won $8 Kitty is purring
