Joke
Master
Craig Evans
and Roger Jacobs each told jokes in an attempt to ruin a perfectly nice
meeting. They almost succeeded.
Joke Master Rules for the 65 Club
·
The members must listen closely to
the secretary making his dull and boring presentation of his dull and boring
minutes. This makes the jokes sound better.
·
Only three types of jokes are
permitted. Bad, worse and those that should never be told again.
·
Joke Master evaluation will be based
on `No Good Deed Goes Unpunished’
President Roger
Jacobs adjourned the meeting at 2:10 PM.

Submitted
Fred
Willis, Secretary
