Please send us news about your trips, operations, special events, cartoons, photos and anything that you would like to share with the girls. These will be posted on our web site at www.gagg.org or will be included in our monthly GG E-Newsletter.   Joke of the Day                           from Avonel Horne Kerry/Bush Joke    G.  W.  Bush and John Kerry somehow ended up at the same barbershop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken.  The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.  As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Kerry in his chair reached for the aftershave.  Kerry was quick to stop him saying, "No thanks, my wife Theresa will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse," The second barber turned to Bush and said, "How about you?" Bush replied, "Go ahead, my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like."     Cartoon of the Day --       Have you been reading about the teachers in Gwinnett who have been involved in this bogus degree scandal?  And they wonder why the students cheat???   Hope to see you on May 18 at Sycamore Grill in Stone Mountain.  Back to top of page
