We were fortunate to have a spectacular morning and a very good afternoon on the first day that my wife and I were in Switzerland. Early in the morning we took the train to the Jungfrau Joch (You can google "top of Europe") The train goes through the north face of the Eiger and Mönch mountains in a tunnel. Then it stops at the Jock (saddle)between the Mönch and the Jungfrau. From here you have a spectacular view; but you can also go out onto the glacier and hike around a bit. In the afternoon we hiked the Panoramaweg which gives you wonderful views from the Wetterhorn to the Jungfrau. It was quite spectacular. I'll post more picture from the trip as they get processed. I've been travelling since four am so this is all I got done today. Comments, of course, are always welcome. The most famous group of mountains in this region are the Eiger (ogre) Mönch (monk) and the Jungfrau (virgin) The Mönch is placed between the Eiger and the Jungfrau so that her honor will be kept in tact.

A British Navy Destroyer stops four Muslims



in a row boat, rowing towards Brighton, England.


The captain gets on the loud hailer and shouts,



"Ahoy, small craft, where are you heading? "



One of the Muslims stands up and shouts,



"We are invading England !"



The crew of the Destroyer all start laughing

and when the captain finally stops laughing,



he gets back on the loud hailer and says,



"Just the four of you ?"


The Muslim stands up again and shouts,



"No, we're the last four.......



The other 6 million are already there !"

You just have to appreciate this one. Young people forget that we old people had a career before we retired......

Charley, the new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late.
But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded.
He was a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.
One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.

"Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome."

"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."

"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear.”

“Yes sir, I understand your concern and I’ll try harder.”

Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment,

“It's odd, though, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces.
What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning so late and so often?"

The old man looked down at the floor, smiled, chuckled quietly, then said with a grin,

"They usually saluted and said,

‘Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, Sir?’”
