TRUE FACTS:

Hitler capture Stalin’s son as a prisoner of war and offered to exchange him with a German Marshall prisoner. Stalin’s response “I will not trade a marshal for a Lieutenant.”

That is not a butterfly in your stomach, it’s your second brain. There are more neurons lining your gut than there are in your spinal cord so your digestive system can work without needing your brain. When you are flooded with emotion, the neurons react and you get a “gut feeling”

Did you know it requires 7-8 trees to provide enough oxygen for just one person per year.

Ernest Hemmingway was not the only one in his family to commit suicide. His father, sister, brother, son and granddaughter also committed suicide. This is the origin of the term “Hemmingway Curse.”

The average woman smiles 28 times a day. While the average man smiles only 8. Maybe this is the origin of “Grumpy old man!”

The Amazon river dumps so much water into the Atlantic ocean that it is possible to drink from the surface for up to 200 miles off shore.

How sad, adopting is considered taboo in Korea and because of this, South Korea’s are almost never adopted unless a foreigner adopts them.

THANKS TO HICKORY HILLS RESIDENTS:

I would like to thank everyone that came to the benefit that was held for me. Words can not express my gratitude for your kindness and generosity. It means so much to me that you all gave your time and money to help me. I was able to get a “new” to me golf cart. The kindness did not stop there. After a lot of searching my brother was able to find me a deal along with the help of Performance Plus Golf Carts in Auburndale. They were extremely kind and helpful. They double checked everything to ensure the cart is in great working and looking condition. No other golf cart company in Lakeland, Auburndale or Winter Haven even returned his phone calls. I am able once again to do little things for myself that is taken for granted until you lose it. I can take my own trash to the container. I can go get a haircut and groceries. So, again thank all of you for the kindness. It was a act of kindness that will forever be in my heart. Every time I think of how many people came out to help me it gets me all choked up. Thanks will never be enough!

Bob Coy


Performance Plus Carts is located at 1051 US Highway 92 Auburndale, FL, 863-875-5600. Please use them for all your golf cart needs!!!

• 2 chicken breast• Sea salt• Pepper• 1 bunch asparagus• Olive oil• 4 rashers of pancetta• 10 cherry tomatoes cut in half• 5 black olives• 2 sprigs of basil• Teaspoon of butter• Splash of white wine• 4 slices of bacon

Slice your chicken breast about every inch not all the way through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Snap the woody ends of asparagus spears. Add a splash of olive oil to skillet and cook chicken, pancetta and asparagus for about 15 minutes turn half way through and add bacon.

Move chicken, bacon, pancetta and asparagus to one side of the pan. Throw in tomatoes, olives, basil leaves and butter. Reduce to low heat and add wine to help make a sauce. Leave to bubble away and thicken for a few minutes.

Use tongs to divide the chicken, bacon, asparagus and most of the tomatoes between your plates. Mix the rest of the tomatoes with sauce from the pan and drizzle over your chicken before serving.

OUT SMARTED BY A WOMAN:

When John found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he need a woman to enjoy it with.

So one evening he went to the singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

“I may look like just an ordinary man,” he said as he walked up to her, “but in just a week or two, my father will die, and I’ll inherit 20 million dollars.”

Impressed, the woman went home with him that evening and, three days later she became his stepmother.

Women are so much smarter tan men.

THE GIRLFRIEND REUNION

Well, a group of 15-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean View Restaurant because they only had $6.0 0 among them and Jimmy Johnson, the cute boy in Social Studies, lived on that street.

At their reunion 10 years later, the group of 25-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the drinks were cheap, the restaurant offered free snacks, the band was good, there was no cover charge, and there were lots of cute guys.

At the reunion 10 years later, the group of 35-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the atmosphere was good, it was right near the gym and, if they went late enough, there wouldn’t be too many whiney little kids.

At their reunion 10 years later, the group of 45-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner. Finally they agreed to meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the martinis were big and the waiters were younger!

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN

Father Murphy walked into a pub and said to the first man he met, “Do you want to go to Heaven?”

The man said “I do Father.”

The Priest said, “Leave this pub right now!”

He approached a second man. He asked, “Do you want to go to Heaven?”

“Certainly, Father!” was his reply.

“Then leave this den of Satan!” said the priest.

Father Murphy then walked up to O’Toole and asked, “Do you want to go to Heaven?”

O’Toole replied: “No, I don’t Father!”The priest looked him right in the eye and said, “You

mean to tell me that when you die you don’t want to go to heaven?”

O’Toole smiled, “Oh, when I die. Yes Father. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now!”
