He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell Andrea that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the store and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month. Andrea went to the store and bought some "Nair" hair remover. At the register, the pharmacist told her, "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days." Andrea said, "I'm not using it under my arms." The pharmacist said, "Hf you're using it on your legs, don't use body lotion for a couple of days.” Andrea replied, 'T'm not using it on my legs either. If you must know, I'm using it on my Schnauzer.” ‘The pharmacist said, "Well then, stay off your bicycle for at least a week.

The bartender would equeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people had tried over time (weight-lifters, etc.) but nobody could do it. One day this scrawny little man came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said ina tiny squeaky voice "I'd like to try the bet" After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a lemon, and equeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man. But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1,000, and asked the little man "what do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?" ‘The man replied "I'm a tax collector.” Costambar Monthly page 6 Calle Juan Bosch #60, Puerto Plata A PREVIEW OF FEBRUARY EVENTS Info@MeetingPlacePuertoPlata.com | SATURDAY, February 7th at 2:30 pm.

Mary agreed to go. While she was waiting for the manager to finish serving a customer, her eye caught a beautiful bathroom faucet. When the manager was finished, Mary asked him, How much is that faucet? ‘The manager replied, That's a gold plated faucet and the price is $500.00. Mary exclaimed, My goodness, that's an expensive faucet and certainly out of my price range! She then proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to buy. The manager said that he had them in stock and went into the storeroom to get one. From the storeroom the manager yelled, Ma'am, ‘you wanna screw for the hinge? Mary shouted back, no, but I will for the faucet. This is why you can't send a woman to Home Depot! Even Duct tape can't fix stupid But it can muffle the sound This morning I lucked out and was able to buy two boxes of ammo. It’s been hard to find lately. Iplaced the boxes on the front seat and headed back home, but stopped at a gas station where a drop-dead gorgeous blonde in a short skirt was filling up her car at the next pump. She glanced at the two boxes of ammo, bent over and leaned in my passenger window, and said in a sexy voice, "I'm a big believer in barter, old fella. Would you be interested in trading sex for ammo?" I thought about it for a few seconds and asked, "What kind of ammo 'ya got?"

Racquetbal, handel, walyeal, picklebal, pool-billards Big Screen TV for sports, movies and concerts Smoking and non-smokin areas VILLA FOR RENT BY THE WEEK CASA OBEAR Women are much more complicated than men. Men are very simple. And you know why? It's because their braine are so different. First, I want to start with men, Men's brains are very unique. Most women don't realize that whether we are having sex or watching sports, our brains are made up of little boxes, we've got a box for everything, We've got a box for the car. We've got a box for the money. We've got a box for the job. We've got a box for you. We've got a box for the kids. We've got a box for ‘your mother somewhere in the basement. We've got boxes everywhere. And the rule is: the boxes don't touch. When a man discusses a particular subject, ‘we go to that particular box, we pull that box out, we open the box, and we discuss only what is in THAT BOX. And then we close the box and put it away being very, very careful not to touch other boxes. Now women's brains are very, very different from men's brains. Women's brains are made up of a big ball of wire. And everything is connected to everything. The money is connected to the car and the car ie connected to your job and your kids are connected to your mother everything is all connected. It's like the Internet superhighway, and it's all driven by energy that we call emotion. I's one of the reasons why women tend to remember everything. Because if you take an event and you connect it to an emotion it burns in your memory and you can remember it forever. The same thing happens for men. It just doesn't happen very often, because quite frankly..we don't care. Women tend to care about everything. And she just loves it Now men, we have a box in our brain that most ‘women are not aware of. This particular box has nothing in it. In fact, we call it the "nothing box." And of all the boxes a man has in his brain, the “nothing box" is our favorite box. If a man has a chance, he'll go to his nothing box every time. That's why a man can do something seemingly completely brain dead for hours on end. You know, like fishing, Now they've actually measured this. The University of Pennsylvania a couple of years ago did a study and discovered that men have the ability to think about absolutely nothing, and still breathe. Women can't do it. Their mind has never stopped. And they don't understand the "nothing box." and it drives them crazy because nothing drives a woman more crazy and makes them feel more irritated than to watch a man doing nothing. Costambar Monthly page 9 THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small. Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion. ‘If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds.’ Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in Try Our Famous front of the mirror, rubbing it Chivo Picante! ‘dow erga one "How long will this take?’ I asked.

IF YOU LOSE A SHOE AT MIDNIGHT, YOU’RE DRUNK! 20 years later and all of these things fit in your pocket. Aman and a woman had been married for over 50 ‘years. There were no secrets between the two of them, except for one thing, The man's wife asked him never to look in an old shoebox she kept on the top shelf of her closet. Thinking it was just a pair of shoes or a collection of some sort, the man never looked in the box and never asked his wife about the contents, When the wife fell ill and didn't have much longer to live, she called her husband to her bedside. She told him it was time to take a look inside the shoebox. So the man went home, grabbed the box from the top shelf of his wife's closet, and opened it Inside, he found two crocheted dolls and bundles of money, When he counted the money, he was surprised to find out it totaled $95,000. So he asked his wife how this was even possible, This was her response: "When we were to be married, my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was never to arque. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.” ‘The man was moved, thinking that in their SO years of marriage, his wife only crocheted two dolls, which meant that throughout all those years, she was only mad a couple of times. Then he said, "Honey, that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?" “Oh, that?" She said. "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."
