Good Morning, !
It's Tuesday, June 14
Now Air Canada is going on strike too. I am sure WestJet will
be happy to hear that and probably will buy another dozen jets
to cope with the extra business.
Like the post office, Air Canada is stuck with exorbitant
pensions negotiated a long time ago, when profits were fat
and the number of retirees small.
Now the profits are slim, and they currently have 26,000 workers
supporting 29,000 pensioners. That just does not work out,
and everybody knows, the company has to either put a stop
to that, or declare bankruptcy.
The unions don't care. They just want to show their power
like terrorists, and insist on pensions like senators.
They are not getting any sympathy anywhere. Expect the
Air Canada strike to last a while!
Have FUN!

A big executive boarded a New York to Chicago train. He
explained to the porter, "I'm a heavy sleeper, but I want
you to be sure and wake me up at 3:00 am for the stop in
Buffalo. I don't care what I say, you just make sure I get
off in Buffalo."
The next morning the executive woke up in Chicago. He was
furious. He found the porter and really gave him an earful
before hustling off to purchase a return ticket.
After he left, a co-worker said to the porter, "How can you
stand there and let that passenger abuse you like that?"
"That's nothing," said the porter. "You should have heard
the guy I kicked out in Buffalo!"

A mother traveled 2,000 miles to be with her only son on the
day he was to receive his Air Force wings and also get married.
"It was wonderful," she said later. "It isn't every day that
a mother watches her son receive his wings in the morning and
have them clipped in the afternoon."

Having trouble with the doctor's notes on an emergency case
which read, "Shot in the lumbar region," the poor girl was
flustered and at her wit's end.
At last she thought she had it figured out and brightened
up as she typed up the record, "Wounded in the woods."

Let Dough Rise in Microwave
no change from yesterday
I love to bake homemade bread and pizza dough and don't
really care for bread machine results (yeah I know they're
so much easier). When I make breads by hand, I need a
nice warm, clean, out of the way place for the dough to rise.
I have been putting the dough in my microwave (turned off,
of course) and letting it rise there with the best results. It
frees up my counter space and is clean and warm. So
make use of that idle microwave when in need of a place
for dough to rise. I've even got some pizza dough rising
in mine right now for entertaining friends later.

Ending his sermon, a preacher announced that he
would preach on Noah and the Ark on the following
Sunday, and gave the scriptural reference for the
congregation to read ahead of time.
A couple of boys noticed something interesting about
the placement of the story in the Bible. They slipped
into the church and glued two pages of the pulpit
Bible together.
The next Sunday, the preacher got up to read his text.
"Noah took unto himself a wife," he began, "and she was"
- he turned the page to continue -
"three hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high."
He paused, scratched his head, turned the page back,
read it silently, and turned the page again.
Then he looked up at his congregation and said,
"I've been reading this old Bible for near fifty years,
but there are some things in it that are a bit hard to
believe."

Mister, why doesn't this cow have any horns?" asked the
young lady from a nearby city.
The farmer cocked his head for a moment, then began in a
patient tone, "Well, ma'am, cattle can do an awful lot of
damage with horns. Sometimes we keep'em trimmed down
with a hacksaw. But there are also some breeds of cattle
that never grow horns. But the real reason this cow don't
have no horns, ma'am, is 'cause it's a horse."
