The Trivia Night run by SMC and held at the Prospect Hotel was a very funny and successful fund raising night.

Thankyou for those that supported the night and a huge thankyou to Julie Perkins and Geoff Owen for organising the function. Thanks also to Joanne (Julies daughter) who played a huge part as well. Everyone that participated won a prize and all will agree that a happy time was had by all...…

For those who did not attend we will be hosting another function along the same lines next year.

:-) You may remember the old Jewish Catskill comics of Vaudeville days, viz., Shecky Green, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Milton Berle, Henny Youngman etc. Not one single swear word in their comedy, here are some examples:

· There was a beautiful young woman knocking on my hotel room door all night! ... I finally had to let her out.?

· A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The paramedic says, "Are you comfortable?" The man says, "I make a good living."?

· I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.?

· I've been in love with the same woman for 49 years. If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me!?

· What are three words a woman never wants to hear when she's making love? "Honey, I'm home!"?

· Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.?

· We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.?

· The doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so the doctor gave him another six months.?

· The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back." Mrs. Cohen answered, "So did my arthritis!"?

· A doctor held a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The man asks, "Doc, how do I stand?" The doctor answers "That's what puzzles me!"

· Patient: "I have a ringing in my ears." Doctor: "Don't answer!"?

· A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says "Okay, let's get started."?

· A bum asked a fellow, "Give me $10 till payday." The fellow responded, "When's payday?" The bum said, "I don't know! You're the one that's working!"?

· I wish my brother would learn a trade, so I would know what kind of work he's out of.?

· The Harvard School of Medicine did a study of why women like Chinese food so much. The study revealed that this is due to the fact that Won Ton spelled backward is Not Now.

· A Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother he has a part in the play. She asks, "What part is it? The boy says, "I play the part of the Jewish husband." The mother scowls and says, "Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part."?

Afterthought:

We can forgive you for killing our sons. But we will never forgive you for making us kill yours. – Golda Meir
