Elderly Lady Asked Her Friend For A Favor, But Never Expected This Response
Two 90-year-old women, Bertha and Betty, had been friends all of their lives.
When it was clear that Bertha was dying, Betty visited her every day.
One day Betty said, ‘Bertha, we both loved playing softball all our lives, and we played all through high school. Please do me one favor: when you get to heaven, somehow you must let me know if there’s women’s softball there.’
Bertha looked up at Betty from her deathbed and said, ‘Betty, you’ve been my best friend for many years. If it’s at all possible, I’ll do this favor for you.’
Shortly after that, Bertha passed on.
A few nights later, Betty was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, ‘Betty, Betty.’
‘Who is it’, asked Betty, sitting up suddenly. ‘Who is it?’
‘Betty — it’s me, Bertha.’
‘You’re not Bertha. Bertha just died.’
‘I’m telling you, it’s me, Bertha,’ insisted the voice.
‘Bertha! Where are you?’
‘In heaven,’ replied Bertha. ‘I have some really good news and a little bad news.’
‘Tell me the good news first,’ said Betty.
‘The good news,’ Bertha said, ‘is that there’s women’s softball in heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before me are here, too. Even better than that, we’re all young again. Better still, it’s always Springtime and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.’
‘That’s fantastic,’ said Betty. ‘It’s beyond my wildest dreams! So what’s the bad news?’
‘You’re pitching Tuesday.’

From News and Guts
Months ago there was word that Donald Trump may make an official state visit to the UK (after a customary invite from Prime Minister Theresa May and the Queen). Due to protests that visit has been put off time and again. Now it looks more unlikely that it will happen anytime soon. Today the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan tweeted this statement:
"President Trump has used Twitter to promote a vile, extremist group that exists solely to sow division and hatred in our country. It's increasingly clear that any official visit from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed."

CPC Spin doctors are hurting themselves with their lies
The Tory claims do not hold up. Morneau personally (and apparently his father, the founder of Morneau Shepell) sold some shares in the company days before announcing changes in Canadian income tax rates. The argument is that the shares were sold at a high price relative to where they traded in the days following the fiscal announcement.
The price changes are fractional, and cannot possibly be related to the policy move
Terence Corcoran: The Tories show they can act more unethically than Bill Morneau
The attacks on Morneau’s ethics are beginning to look unethical in themselves

Enjoying the almonds
A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady.
She offers him a handful of almonds, which he gratefully munches up.
After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of almonds.
She repeats this gesture about five more times.
When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady, why don’t you eat the almonds yourself?
“We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth”, she replied.
The puzzled driver asks, “Why do you buy them then?”,
The old lady replied, “We just love the chocolate around them.”
It pays to be careful around old people.
Thanks Shirley
