OUR TAKE

(From: TheMotleyFool.com)

By Bill Mann (TMF Otter)
August 27, 2004

A few weeks ago, in a story on Nortel (NYSE: NT), I asked people to
submit a Canadian joke to me. This is as good a place as any to
reveal the winner. And I received hundreds, almost all of them from
Canadians. Though I did receive one from Brunei, something for which
I have absolutely no explanation. The winner of a copy of Tom and
David Gardner's Money After 40 was Karl Walters, who submitted the
following:

Q: How does a lifeguard get 50 rowdy Canadians out of a pool?

A: He says, "Please get out of the pool."

(My addendum is that he then repeats it in French.)

Canadians live longer on paper

http://www.freedominion.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=299850

Residents of a River Heights condominium complex were in shock yesterday
after police recovered the remains of a neighbour dead for two years. "We
thought he had gone away for holidays or something," said Bertha Claeys who
lived across the hall from the man.

Claeys and other neighbours at the 870 Cambridge South condominium
identified the man as Jim, a resident in the building since the mid-1980s.

Claeys said the man was in his late 40s or early 50s, suffered from multiple
sclerosis and had been living on a disability pension.

Claeys said she believed city police were called to the man's second-floor
apartment after a report of irregularities with his finances.

Police found the man's remains on his bed, reduced to only bones, said
neighbour Sam Shuster.

Shuster described Jim as a friendly man, but a loner.

How about:

How does a lifeguard get 50 Americans out of a pool?

Anybody got any punchlines?

Tell them that if they stay in the pool "The terrorists will have
won".

Have an actor, who plays a doctor on TV, put on a white lab coat and
tell them that chlorinated pool water causes obesity.

Tell them that there are auditions for a reality TV show in the next
room.

Any more? Come on people, where is your sense of humour.
