3 A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to the man. The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane. The second man explained that he was from the Police Drugs Enforcement Agency and that the dog was a 'sniffing dog'. 'His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.' The plane took off, and once it has leveled out, the Policeman said, 'Watch this.' He told Sniffer to 'search'. Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds. Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the policeman's arm. The Policeman said, 'Good boy', and he turned to the man and said, 'That woman is in possession of marijuana, I'm making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land. 'Gee, that's pretty good,' replied the first man. Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he placed two paws on the agent's arm. The Policeman said, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the police.' 'I like it!' said his seat mate. The Policeman then told Sniffer to 'search' again. Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to sh..t all over the place. The first man was really disgusted by this behavior and couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that, so he asked the Policeman, 'What's going on?' The Policeman nervously replied, 'He's just found a bomb.' COMMITTEE INFORMATION MEETINGS BOARD MEETING Next Tuesday (11 t h October), after the Dinner Meeting. TAS.

4 ROTARY INFORMATION ROTARY AND THE DAWN OF A NEW CENTURY As it approached the 21 st century, Rotary worked to meet society s changing needs, expanding its service efforts to address such pressing issues as environmental degradation, illiteracy, world hunger, and children at risk. In 1989, the organisation voted to admit women into clubs worldwide. Today, women are an integral part of Rotary's membership. After the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Rotary Clubs were formed or re-established throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The first Russian Rotary club was chartered in 1990, and the organisation underwent a growth spurt for the next several years. A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect!" "Really?" answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?" "Twelve thirty..."

A college professor met his new class on the first day of school. He stood before them and gave a nice introduction to the class and about himself. U p o n c o m p l e t i o n o f h i s monologue he looked around the room and asked his students "If any of you think you are stupid, stand up." As he looked around he saw that all of his students did not stand. He proceeded to ask the same question again, "If anyone thinks they are stupid to please stand up." The college professor looked around and to his surprise one tall student in the back of the room stood up. The professor asked, "Do you think you are stupid?" The first year student replied, "No, I just didn't want you to feel alone."
