GRACE GOODE
Just a short note to advise that Grace had a fall some weeks ago and as a result broke
her arm and jaw. Following a short hospital stay she was placed into a respite centre
at Twin Waters where she can receive constant care. Naturally she wants to go home
but this is unlikely given her present health condition. Members of the Sunshine
Coast Bromeliad Society Inc wish her well.
NOTE: I have also distributed this message through my listing for Australian and
Overseas Societies

Time for some Humour
Interpretation
An older couple, who were both wid-
owed, had been going out with each
other for a long time. Urged on by their
friends, they decided it was finally time
to get married.
Before the wedding, they went out to
dinner and had a long conversation re-
garding how their marriage might work.
They discussed finances, living arrange-
ments, and so on.
Finally, the old gentleman decided it was
time to broach the subject of their physi-
cal relationship. "How do you feel about
sex?" he asked, rather tentatively. "I
would like it infrequently ", she replied.
The old gentleman sat quietly for a mo-
ment, adjusted his glasses, then leaned
over towards her and whispered, "Is that
one word or two?"
Shopping
A husband and wife are shopping in this
Supermarket.
The husband picks up a case of
Budweiser and puts it in the trolley.
“What do you think your doing?” askes
the wife. ”They're on sale only $10 for
24 cans” he replies.
“Put them back we can’t afford them”
demands the wife.
They carry on with their shopping. A
few aisles further on, women picks up a
$20 jar of face cream and puts it in the
trolley. “What do you think your doing”
askes the husband. “It’s my face cream it
makes me look beautiful” replies the
wife.
Her husband retorts, “ So does 24 cans
of Budweiser and it’s only half the price.

19 Time For Some Humour Continued
RETIRED HUSBAND After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, like most
men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most
women - loves to browse & leaves me with endless time to fulfill. Yesterday my dear wife received the fol-
lowing letter from the local Wal-Mart:
Dear Mrs. Harris:
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion, in our store.
We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store.
Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our
video surveillance cameras:
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion, in our store.
We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store.
Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video sur-
veillance cameras:
* 1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they were-
n't looking.
* 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
* 3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
* 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares.. Get on it
right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Su-
pervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time; and costing the
company money. We don't have a Code 3.
* 5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
* 6. August 14: Moved a, 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
* 7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if
they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.
* 8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you
people just leave me alone? EMTs were called.
* 9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
* 10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antide-
pressants were.
* 11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while, loudly humming the, 'Mission Impossible'
theme.
* 12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his, 'Madonna Look' using different sizes of funnels.
* 13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
* 14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and
screamed; 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
* 15. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where is the fitting room?
* And last, but not least:
* 16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile; then yelled very loudly,
'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

Millwell Road Community Hall—General Meeting 21st April 2018
SHOW & TELL
Sue Murray’s plant Tillandsia fasciculata brought in to show members
Something strange happened. The plant flowered and then produced pups, usually the pups are
taken off when they are big enough but before Sue could take the pups off they flowered. This
does sometimes happen, but not often. The pup do not have vigor to produce the quality flower
the mother has so are somewhat small. Now she has to start all over again, take the pups off and
hope for some more.
Sincorea hatchbachii Sincorea mucugensis
These plants have been shifted from the genus Orthophytum
