X. Joke-of-the-Day
● There were two married women who went to a bar one night and got drunk. They
decided to walk home because they were too imparted to drive. On the way, they
developed an acute need to empty their bowels. The two see a graveyard nearby,
and decide to relieve themselves there. After one woman finishes, she wipes herself
with her underwear, and throws it to a remote corner of the graveyard. The other was
just about to do the same when she realized that she was wearing some expensive
panties – Geez – I can't throw away those – she thought. Instead she grabbed a
ribbon from the closest wreath, and wiped herself on that.

The next day, the husbands of the two wives confide with each other:
“You know, we really should be keeping a closer eye on our wives. Mine came home
yesterday without her underwear!”
“Well, mine cane home with her underwear alright. But attached to it was a note
saying ' We will miss you at the fire department'!”

XI. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 12:40.
