NEW HEALTH RISK DISCOVERED ON NORTH COAST

A recent investigation of hospital and clinic records has revealed a previously undisclosed cause for many serious and even life threatening injuries. The Costambar Monthly can now reveal what tourism authorities have tried to hide from the public but something that is a serious risk to your health. This risk comes from something so innocuous that it is hard to believe. But health authorities are urging people to take this seriously. It is injuries arising from falling almonds, coconuts and palm leaves. While almonds by far do the least amount of damage they can potentially cause serious injury on windy days when they fall in batches battering the victim relentlessly, leaving random bruising and goose egg size lumps on the head. It only takes one coconut to cause serious head injury to the victim but health authorities hate to think of the possible implications of someone being struck by a falling batch. Falling palm leaves on the other hand have the potential to inflict full body damage and, along with coconuts, are considered life threatening. Concussions, bruising and neck injuries are all common results of these hazardous plants. Health authorities are urging citizens to take precautions. On windy days they advise wearing a helmet. They also recommend hiring a gardener to remove all possible hazards before they strike. Dont be a victim of this plant peril in paradise!
REPRINTED FROM AUGUST 2005 This was originally just a tongue & cheek take on life here in the Dominican Republic. Recent conversations reminded us that there is always a bit of truth in any situation that you make light of down here!

A guy stopped at a local gas station, and after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole. The men worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down the road. "I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can into a trash container and headed down the road toward the men. "Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here with all this digging and refilling?" "Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," one of the men said. "But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the taxpayers' money?" "You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us: me, Elmer and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree, and Leroy here puts the dirt back. Elmer's job's been cut ... so now it's just me an' Leroy

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-panel energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them. Hellllloooooo just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves! Hellllooooooo? It's been a year! I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot!!

It happened at a New York Airport. This is hilarious. I wish I had the guts of this girl. An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you. A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS." The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?" Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14". With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!" Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."

I had an appointment with my doctor. He asked me what I did yesterday. I told him about my day: "Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded across the edge of a lake, escaped from an angry 14 point buck in the heavy brush, marched up and down a steep hill, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand, jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake, then outran an alligator!" Inspired by my story, the doctor said, "You must be an awesome outdoorsman!" "No," I replied, "I'm just a shitty golfer."

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. 9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. 10. Bad decisions make good stories.

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath. "Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?" Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet." He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?" Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other. She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine." The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely...Are - my - test - results - back?"

LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I can't look that old? Well.....you'll love this one! My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his dental diploma, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark haired boy with the same name had been in my secondary school class some 30-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then? Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, grey haired man with the deeply lined face was far too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park secondary school . "Yes, yes I did. I'm a Morganner! " he beamed with pride. 'When did you leave to go to college?' I asked He answered, "In 1965. Why do you ask?" 'You were in my class!' I exclaimed. He looked at me closely.. Then that: Ugly, Old, Bald, Wrinkled, Fat arsed, Grey haired, Decrepit, Old bastard asked.... "What did you teach?!!"
