Freak Accident forces a BOFMech Assistant Griever Election:

Frank Ripley, Assistant Griever - BOF Mechanical, (pictured at left during the last AG election) was recently involved in a freak accident involving 2 cans of 10w30 motor oil, a garage door spring, and a Briggs & Stratton 2 1/2 horsepower pull start gasoline engine powered vibrating enema bag. His back is fractured in 11 places and he is expected to be off work for 3 to 4 weeks after surgeons remove approximately 14 inches of his spine. Frank says it will only reduce his height by about six inches due to stretching of the remaining vertabrae.
Frank's misfortune is good news to several members of BOF Mechanical who have long coveted his AG position. An election was held amongst those interested in filling his shoes and the results are as follows:

Dick "Red" Spears - Millwright - 3 votes
Mike Gobin - Millwright - 3 votes
Bob Skoc - 6 feet 11 inches - 3 votes

Hearty Laughs Coming:

A keen but unskilled golfer plays the same course every week, and has particular trouble with the water trap on the 14th hole, losing a ball in it every time he plays that hole. One round he decides that this process is too expensive and decides to use an old cut-up ball instead of a good ball. He opens his bag and gets the old ball, tees it up and addresses it. Just as he commences his back-swing a mighty voice comes from on high:
"USE THE NEW BALL..."
Figuring any advice from such a source should be worth following he picks up the old ball and tees up the new one again. He starts his back-swing but once again is interrupted by a voice from the sky:
"TAKE A PRACTICE SWING.."
The man steps away from the ball and rehearses his swing. Just as he steps forward to readdress the ball, the voice speaks again:
"USE THE OLD BALL." !
