Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Cohen had lived next door one another for over 40 years and over the years became loving friends. One day Mrs. Murphy came to Mrs. Cohen and said, "These houses are becoming too much for us. Let's sell them and we can each move into a home for the aged."

They agreed and some months later, each went into a retirement home of their respective religions. But not long after, Mrs. Murphy felt very lonesome for Mrs. Cohen, so she asked to be driven to the Jewish home to visit her old friend Mrs. Cohen. When she arrived, she was greeted with open arms, hugs and kisses.

Mrs. Murphy said, "So how do you like it here?" Mrs. Cohen went on and on about the wonderful food, the wonderful facility and the wonderful care-takers. She then said, "And that's not all. You know, the best thing is that I now have a boyfriend."

Mrs. Murphy said, "That's wonderful. Tell me what you do."
 
Mrs. Cohen said, "After lunch we go up to my room and sit on the edge of my bed. I let him touch me on the top and then down below and then we sing Jewish songs."

Mrs. Cohen said, "And how is it with you, Mrs. Murphy?"
 
Mrs Murphy said it was also wonderful at her new facility and that she also had a boyfriend. Mrs. Cohen said, "That's wonderful. So what do you do?"

"We also go up to my room after lunch and sit on the edge of my bed. I let him touch me on top and then let him touch me down below."

Mrs. Cohen said, "And then what do you do?"
 
Mrs. Murphy said, "Since we don't know any Jewish songs, we fuck.

One of Quebec's most wanted Hells Angels was arrested last night in Quebec City, said the Surete du Quebec.

Paul (Fonfon) Fontaine, who went into hiding since being linked with the 1997 murder of a prison guard, was found in a vehicle in the Vanier borough.

A joint operation between the Surete du Quebec and the Escouade regional mixte of Montreal caught 36-year-old Fontaine around 7 p.m. Police said he did not resist arrest.

Fontaine, part of the elite Nomads chapter of the Montreal Hells Angels, is one of Maurice (Mom) Boucher's top lieutenants. He was charged with the first-degree murder of prison guard Pierre Rondeau in September 1997, when the fledgling member Fontaine was accused of ambushing an inmate bus and shooting Rondeau.

The hit was allegedly ordered by Boucher, who challenged his new recruits to prove their loyalty by killing officers of the law. Fontaine has been fleeing from police since.

According to witnesses in Boucher's trial, Fontaine was promoted to full member while on the run, after gang member Serge Boutin turned government in formant.

He is scheduled to appear in court in Montreal to be formally charged with first-degree murder.

Nobody is buried in Grant's tomb. President & Mrs. Grant are entombed there. A body is buried only when it is placed in the ground and covered with dirt.  

Ear infections are very common in dogs, especially dogs with allergies. About 80 percent of ear infections occur in dogs with dropped ears, such as Cocker Spaniels and Poodles. High humidity or moisture in the ears from swimming can soak the skin of the ear canal, reducing its ability to protect itself from infection.

Initially, the infection may involve only the outer ear, but if left untreated, it can move to the middle and inner ear, interfering with your dog's hearing and balance. A routine weekly check of your dog's ears for abnormal discharge or smell is an important preventive measure against ear infections.

If your dog gets frequent ear infections, keep the hair around her ear opening trimmed (to increase air circulation) and shake a little bit of athlete's food powder in her ears once a week.

A Henry Kissinger telephone transcript released in Washington Wednesday suggests President Richard Nixon was once too drunk to speak with a prime minister. The transcript was among more than 20,000 pages of Kissinger's records made public by the National Archives, TheSmokingGun.com reported. The transcript is of an October 1973 telephone conversation between Kissinger, then Nixon's secretary of state and national security adviser, and Brent Scowcroft, then deputy national security adviser. 
During the conversation Scowcroft told Kissinger British Prime Minister Edward Heath wanted to talk with the president. "Can we tell them no" Kissinger asked Scowcroft. 
"When I talked to the president he was loaded." Kissinger finally instructs Scowcroft to tell Heath Nixon "will be available tomorrow morning our time," TheSmokingGun reported. The Kissinger archives also suggest the mood in Washington concerning the Vietnam War was very similar to that which exists today concerning the Iraq War, the Los Angeles Times said. The records show the Army was fighting a distant war while opposition grew at home and photographs of alleged abuses by U.S. soldiers at My Lai were so upsetting, the secretary of defense advised Kissinger not to look at them.
