 I know that the mind protects the person after a traumatic event and stops that person from remembering it. I found the scientific reason for that memory loss. The body secretes a protein after a traumatic event that blocks memory. |

| [Friday Joke] A German Shepherd, a Doberman, and a cat died.in heaven, all three faced God, who wanted to know what they believed in. The German Shepherd said, “I believe in discipline, training, and loyalty to my master.“ “Good!” said God. “Sit at my right side.” “Doberman, what do you believe in?” asked God. The doberman answered, “I believe in the love, care, and protection of my master.‘ “Aha,” said God. You may sit to my left.” Then God looked at the cat and asked, “And what do you believe in?” The cat replied, “I believe you are sitting in my seat.” |
 [Eggs] A month ago my eggs cost 51c each–still a cheap breakfast. This week’s eggs are only 37c! I buy the 18-pack. I don’t know if there is a unit price difference between that and a dozen. Maybe I’ll get interested enough to check. For those who must count pennies, eggs are a bargain protein.C’mon over. I want to try making Molly Yeh’s Chinese devilled eggs. |

| [Friday Joke] This village priest asked his Campagnolo (bell ringer) to be the first to confess ahead of Sunday mass to give a good example to the clergy. The Campagnolo obliged and went on and on but the priest didn’t hear what he wanted to learn “Campagnolo, who’s been stealing the wine from the father’s cellar?” the priest asked. He repeated the question over and over again but no answer was forthcoming. After a while, the Campagnolo got close to the grill and shouted. “Father, I see your lips moving but I can’t hear a thing on this side. If you don’t believe me, let’s switch sides to prove it to you. The priest, exasperated by now, indulged. Once the Campagnolo was comfortable in the priest’s armchair, he asked: “Father who’s been messing around with Campagnolo’s wife”. “Son, you’re right. You can’t hear a damned thing on this side” |
 [Rip-off] I got gas at the Circle K in Marathon as the sign said $2.73 a gallon. When I looked at my receipt I found they charged me $2.85 a gallon because I used my credit card. I’ll not be buying anything at Circle K again. |
