Page B14 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 21, 1990 Smile — it’s almost spring Welcome to Around Thor nhill. | hope this finds everyone chipper and as anxious as I am to see spring arrive — to be able to get ouside and rake leaves and pick up all that garbage that somehow materializes during the winter. And time to set out the bird feeders once again and entice all the wildlife to enter your yard, sit among the leaves and branches and twitter or scold you for entering your own back yard, . kkekik ‘How about a smile for the day? A man was marooned on an island. One day, as he stood on the shore hoping to see a ship, a scuba diver in a rubber suit came out of the water. The man was astonished as the diver pull- ed off mask and helmet and a mane of blonde hair fell to her shoulders. You're gorgeous,” said the man. The diver smiled and ask- ed, “Is there-anything I can do for you?" “‘Weil, [ haven't had a mar- tini for a year, but I don’t sup- pose there’s anything you can do about. that.”” The diver un- zipped a side pocket on her wet suit where she had a plastic flask, and another pdcket which contained a small bottle of mix, and made him a martini, ‘Anything else?’’ she asked. “*A cigar — but I know that is impossible,"" The diver opened another pocket, pulled out a cigar and lit it for him. ‘Something else?’’ she asked. “Nope. I’m just fine now.’’ “You mean you don’t want to play around after being here by yourself for a year?”* The man’s eyes lit up. ‘‘Say, don’t tell me you’ve got a set of golf culbs in there too!”’ kKkkkke Now for some news from Thornhill Junior Secondary School.

One of our temporary drivers, a college student, was on his way to pick up a load of | dairy products, when, at a par- ticularly sharp curve-he rolled the truck into the woods, dented the roof and wounded his pride. _ The truck was rescued, the ‘roof repaired and the cab given "a bright new paint job. The paint was barely dry when the boss decided to make the ‘milk run’’ himself and promptly fiip- ped the truck into the woods on the same curve. But it landed neatly upright and without a scratch, - As we gathered at the scene, he paused and then announced, x “If you’re going to roll one of ° my trucks, that's the way I want it done.” Thank you for reading Around Thornhill and until next week, Smile.G.K. “These Specials Are Availabe T Through All Travel Agents! = .
