An assortment of ramblings

Friday once again and its time to renew prescriptions for me and for my dogs.

Watched a great movie last night. "Operation Petticoat" with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis is one of my all-time favourites.

I noted that Verizon has announced iPad/MIFI bundles available later this month. Hell finally froze over.

----- Joke of the Day -----

A newfie, who had just moved to BC walked into a bar and ordered three mugs of draught beer. He sat in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finished them, he came back to the bar and ordered three more. The bartender approached and told the newfie, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The newfie replied, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Alberta, the other is in Manitoba. When we all left our home in Nfld , we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself."
The bartender admitted that this was a nice custom, and left it there.
The newfie became a regular in the bar, and always drank the same way. He ordered three mugs and drank them in turn. One day, he came in and only ordered two mugs. All the regulars took notice and fell silent. When he came back to the bar for the second round, the bartender said softly, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."
The newfie looked quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawned in his eyes and he laughed. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explained, "It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. ... Hasn't affected my brothers though."
