Today's FEEBLE
YOKE :
A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now is somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank:
Family Member: "I am calling to tell you that she died in January."
Bank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."
Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."
Bank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been."
Family Member: So , what will they do when they find out she is dead?"
Bank: "Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!"
Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?"
Bank: "Excuse me?"
Family Member: Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?"
Bank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor."
Supervisor gets on the phone:
Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January."
Bank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."
Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"
Bank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?"
Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given)
Bank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"
Family Member: "Sure." (fax number is given)
After they get the fax:
Bank: "Our system just isn't set-up for death. I don't know what more I can do to help."
Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care."
Bank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply."
Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?"
Bank: "That might help."
Family Member: "Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69."
Bank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"
Family Member: "What do you do with dead people on your planet?"

I have a iMac. I go to Macplay.com and play text twist. (I am not a kid, but I play games on my 'puter.)
I much perfer Chess!
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Goldstar, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. My fav online game is Mahjong Solitaire. I also like Collapse. I don't get to play much these days.
Another cloudy day in DC Metroland. It is suppose to clear up later and be a little warmer today.
You guessed it........I'm running late again. It's been one of those mornings when I've had visitors almost from the time I poured my first cup of coffee.
Thank goodness for lunch time. At least I can get in and post during that time.
And, to put icing on the cake..............
To all newbies and lurkers
Gotta make my rounds before times up. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!
Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM

Good Evening troops! Good Evening everyone! I've been busy at school, trying to make it through each day. Since we have this big huge winter storm coming through, not even Aleve works anymore. I currently spend about half of the school day either in the nurse's office or in class but unable to concentrate. I can't wait for this storm to get out of here so that things will settle down and Aleve will work and I can be in school normally again (well, as normal as school ever is anyway). Anyway, here is today's humor attempt!
There was this statistics student who, when driving his car, would always accelerate hard before coming to any junction, whizz straight over it , then slow down again once he'd got over it. One day, he took a passenger, who was understandably unnerved by his driving style, and asked him why he went so fast over junctions. The statistics student replied, "Well, statistically speaking, you are far more likely to have an accident at a junction, so I just make sure that I spend less time there."
