Humor by Past President Fred Timmons
105 year old woman tells about her remedies to her health:
  • For better digestion - I drink beer
  • In the case of appetite loss, I drink white wine
  • In the case of low blood pressure, I drink red wine
  • In the case of high blood pressure, I drink scotch
  • When I have a cold I drink Schnapps
Then she was asked, "When do you drink water?"
She replied, "I've never been that sick!"
