ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER
Hello
everyone,
HAPPY
NEW YEAR!! Welcome to
I
hope you all had a chance to get to the hospitality room last night. I would
also like to encourage all of our regular members to get around to meeting and
greeting any new clerks we have attending this meeting. Please make them feel
welcome and help answer any questions they may have.
Hopefully,
we will have some updates today on ADJRS and on the Legislative Task Force.
Judy West is a member of the retirement board and should have an update on
what’s going on with them. She and Jeff Fryer, as liaison for our association,
have been attending the meetings of the LTF. I hope you all will listen to
their updates. This information may greatly affect us as court clerks in the
future.
Again,
WELCOME to all and I hope you enjoy and learn a great deal at this meeting.

HUNTING
A
game warden stopped a deer hunter and asked to see his hunting license. This is
last year’s, the warden informed him after inspecting it. I know, the hunter
replied. But I shouldn’t need a new license. I’m just shooting at the deer I
missed last year.
WANTED
A
little girl accompanied her father to the post office. She immediately noticed
the Wanted posters pinned to the wall and asked her father about them. Those
are pictures of people the police would like to catch, her father explained.
But daddy, the little girl said, if the police wanted to catch them, why didn’t
they hold onto them when they took their pictures?
THEY SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS
Attending
a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, why is the
bride dressed in white? Because, white is the color of
happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life. The child thought
about this for a moment, then said, so why is the groom wearing black?
A
police recruit was asked during the exam, What would
you do if you had to arrest your own mother? He answered, Call for Backup.
THESE ARE THE LAWS OF NATURAL UNIVERSE:
Law of Mechanical
Repair: After your hands become coated
with grease, your nose will begin to itch.
Law of the Workshop: Any
tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.
Law of the Telephone: When
you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.
Law of Variation: If you
change lines or traffic lanes, the one you were in will start to move faster
then the one you are in now.
Law of Bio Mechanics: The
severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
Law of Dirty Rugs/Carpets:
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor
covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.
Oliver’s Law: A closed mouth
gathers no feet.
Law of Von Fumbles: When one wishes to unlock a door but only has one hand free, the keys
are in the opposite packet.
A MOTHER’S WORK IS NEVER DONE
Tired
of constantly picking clothes up from the floor of her son’s room, a mother
finally laid down the law: each item of clothing she had to pick up would cost
her son a quarter. By the end of the week, he owed her $1.50. she received the money promptly, along with a 50-cent tip
and note that read, Thanks, Mom, Keep up the good work!
A
foolish husband says to his wife, honey, you stick to the washin’,
ironin’, cookin’ and scrubbin’, no wife of mine is gonna
work.
For every action, there is an
equal and opposite criticism.
Maybe the reason so many
people like dogs, is because they way their tails not their tongues.

The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental
asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined
whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said
the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup
and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub
" "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. A normal person
would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.
"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug.
Do you want a bed near the window?"

PARTING SHOTS
WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?
When I say I wish you enough
I mean..
I
wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to
appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I
wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to
appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough hellos to get you through
the final good-bye. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an
hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget
them.
To all of you and your loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH!
Betty
