It seems that your !oice doesn.t change as much as your physical appearance. ne can only imagine all the secrete happenings and pranks that were reli!ed. As a %taff member( I learned a lot about the many pranks etc. that we were ne!er able to sol!e. Thankfully( many of these pranks were carried out to pro!ide e/citement and fun( during the cold winter months. ut of 0ountry numbers ) *e/ico 1 5( Trinidad 2 0aribbean ) 3 0hina ) " 4sa 1 too many to count. 0anadian members ) from $0 to the 5ast coast. The biggest problem we all encountered( was finding the time to speak with all the guys we remembered so well. %i/ hours were not enough time to do it( but we all tried !ery hard..

A "5A1 50U4ATI.@ Us older people need to learn something new e=ery day.Just to keep the grey matter tuned up. :here did C/iss /oorC come from) Interesting history. They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot. And then once it was full it was taken and sold to the tannery... if you had to do this to sur=i=e you were C/iss /oorC. 8ut worse than that were the really poor folk who couldnDt e=en afford to buy a pot... They CdidnDt ha=e a pot to piss inC and were the lowest of the low. The neEt time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature IsnDt Bust how you like it, think about how things used to be. (ere are some facts about the $&''Ds Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, And they still smelled pretty good by June.. (owe=er, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bou;uet of flowers to hide the body odor. (ence the custom today of carrying a bou;uet when getting married. 8aths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the pri=ilege of the nice clean water, Then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. 1ast of all the babies. 8y then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. (ence the saying, C0onDt throw the baby out with the bath waterFC (ouses had thatched roofs%thick straw%piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals *mice, bugs- li=ed in the roof. :hen it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. (ence the saying, CItDs raining cats and dogs.C There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings
4ould mess up your nice clean bed. (ence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung o=er the top afforded some protection. ThatDs how canopy beds came into eEistence. The floor was dirt. .nly the wealthy had something other than dirt. (ence the saying, C0irt poor.C The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery @ow, whoe=er said history was boringFFF ........................................................................................................................................................................

S#* $e5& #bo)t beer. 9ou ha=e to hope that this study is flawed, but the e=idence seems irrefutable. 9esterday, scientists for (ealth 4anada suggested that the results of a recent analysis re=ealed the presence of female hormones in beer, and suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the theory, $'' men were each fed # pints of beer within a one%hour period. It was then obser=ed that $''G of the men gained weight, talked eEcessi=ely without making sense, became o=erly emotional, couldnDt dri=e, failed to think rationally, argued o=er nothing, had to sit down while urinating, couldnDt perform seEually, and refused to apologi7e when wrong. @o further testing is planned.
