Thanks, fatima, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
I see there's been a little excitement at the Canteen since I left yesterday. This means I have to rush off and get a Homecoming party together. We're going to start early so everyone has a chance to drop in an welcome home one of our heroes.
Before I do, I'm gonna give you a dose of Trivia to get your mind rollin', maybe get you in the partying mood? Oh, wait! It's Thursday. Let's do Three for Thursday
Australia is home to 350 different kinds of butterflies.
In 340 B.C., Aristotle observed that dolphins gave birth to live young that were attached ot their mothers by umbilical cords. For this reason, he considered dolphins and related creatures to be mammals. Biologists agreed with him - twenty-four centuries later.
Licorice can raise your blood pressure.
Time for me to make my rounds. 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!

Today's FEEBLE
YOKE :
An American tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, and have a pint of Guinness.
After awhile, he finds himself in a very high class neighborhood.....big, stately residences... no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of all...NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS.
He really, really has to go, after all those Guinness's. He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem.
As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London bobby, who says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know."
"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really, really HAVE TO GO, and I just can't find a public restroom."
"Ah, yes," said the bobby..."Just follow me". He leads him to a back "delivery alley", then along a wall to a gate, which he opens.
"In there," points the bobby. "Whiz away sir, anywhere you want."
The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured hedges, and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom.
Since he has the cop's blessing, he unburdens himself and is greatly relieved.
As he goes back through the gate, he says to the bobby, "That was really decent of you... is that what you call 'English Hospitality'?"
"No, sir" replies the bobby, "that is what we call the French Embassy."
