LENT SPECIAL Whole-Fried Catfish Dinner Served Fried Or Baked Fridays 4:30-8:00 p.m.

• To guard against recognition, a bank robber in London wore three stocking masks and a scarf over his face. He announced that he had a gun and ordered everyone to lie down, then reached into his pocket to pull out his gun to show he meant business. However, his vision was obstructed so completely by the layers of masks that instead of a gun he pulled out his glasses case. After a few minutes of brandishing this unusual weapon at the amused hostages, he fled. He was arrested shortly afterward. • A legally blind man tried to hold up a bank in London but ran into trouble when he couldn’t distinguish between the bank’s glass windows and the glass doors. • A guy robbed a bank in Champaign, Illinois in 1985 and was caught when he returned to the same bank at a later date to open a new account. • When a bank robber in Albuquerque demanded that the teller hand over all the money, the teller was so shocked that she fainted dead away. The robber fled. (cont’d next page)

GET-AWAY GOOFS cont’d

• In 1931 a couple of would-be bank robbers in Shelby, Kentucky, stole a truck to use as their get-away vehicle. They parked it right outside the bank while they went in to do the robbing. While they were busy with the hold-up, the rightful owner of the stolen truck happened by. Seeing his truck in front of the bank, he hopped in and drove away. The two robbers, laden with bags of money, rushed outside to find their get-away vehicle gone. • In Waltham, Massachusetts, a bank robber got some $3,000 from the tellers, then phoned for a taxi. Police arrested him as he waited for his ride in the bank lobby. • Richard Stowell robbed the Chase Lincoln First Bank in Syracuse, New York. He tried to make his quick get-away on a city bus. He failed. It was the second time he’d been apprehended on a bus after robbing a bank. • Bank robber Anthony Colella got away with $2,100 in a holdup in Brooklyn. However, as he was making his get-away, he was mugged by an attacker who jumped out of a station wagon. The mugger relieved him of his entire haul. This upset the bank robber so much that he called the police and reported the crimes— both of them. The cops promptly arrested him. • A bank in Nice, France was robbed of about $10 million in valuables and currency. Many rich depositors didn’t even apply to be reimbursed for their losses because it would have meant revealing how much they had stashed away without reporting it for taxes.

Herbal Supplements Don’t Always Deliver

Sometimes we just don’t have the appetite we used to, or the taste of foods has changed. To get as much nutrition as possible, many of us have turned to dietary herbal supplements. The problem is that we might not be getting what we expect in those pills. Now the New York State attorney general has gone after companies that don’t deliver what they’ve promised. Cease and desist letters have been sent to four major retailers that sell their own store brand of herbal supplements because either the supplements contained none of the promised ingredients or there were contaminants or fillers. According to the attorney general’s website, contaminants and fillers included “rice, beans, pine, citrus, asparagus, primrose, wheat, houseplant, wild carrot and others.” Only 21 percent of supplements tested contained any of the herbs they were “NATIONAL” WORDS (continued): supposed to have. • French: Chefs know what it means to At one retailer, a mere 4 percent of “french” a food item.

Here are some wise words from an anonymous poet. “If you can start the day without caffeine: if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring the aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles; if you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it; if you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time; if you can forgive a friends lack of consideration; if you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you, when, through no fault of your own, something goes wrong; if you can take criticism and blame without resentment; if you can ignore a friends limited education and never correct him; if you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend; if you can face the world without lies and deceit; if you can conquer tension without medical; if you can relax without liquor; if you can sleep without the aid of drugs; if you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed or color, religion or politics; then you my friend, your almost as good as your dog.” This poem is dedicated to two kinds of people: 1) Animal lovers, and 2) Those who can Stop, Listen, Absorb, & Act “Be alert and of sober mind, love each other deeply, and use your gifts to serve others.” 1 Peter 4

www.seeds4seniors.org STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* It was a wise man, Will Rogers, who observed, “Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.” * Cleopatra’s husband was her brother, Ptolemy. * Melanie Roberts, a 41-year-old Ohio woman, was forced to have her left leg amputated. Shortly thereafter, while still recovering, she was shocked to receive a $600 bill for the funeral of her leg. Evidently, she was supposed to pay for the limb’s burial -- and the bill was even broken down into the separate costs for the plot, the minister, the hearse and the grave diggers. * The name “Alice” means “noble kind”; “Amy” means “beloved”; “Angela” means “messenger of God”; and “Amanda” means “lovable.” * During the Muslim feast of Al-Adha, a sheep was to be sacrificed on top of a four-story building in Cairo, Egypt. In a fit of terror or anger, the doomed sheep rushed the executioner, who then lost his balance and fell to his death. c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• The word cash comes from the Chinese word ‘kase’ meaning small coin. ‘Money’ comes from the Roman goddess Juno Moneta, who stood guard over the temple where coins were minted. A dollar is called a buck because before money was minted, a buck skin was a common form of currency. • The word ‘check’ came from the game of chess. Putting the king in check means his choices are limited, just like a modern day check limits opportunities for forgery and alteration.

• The dollar sign $ originated with the Spanish abbreviation meaning ‘peso’ being a combination of the letters PS. • Coins could once be cut into pieces to make change. Two bits was a quarter of a Spanish dollar, which could be divided into eight pieces. That’s how pirates got pieces of eight and England got the halfpenny and the farthing which was originally a ‘fourthings’ or a fourth of a penny. • It costs 2.4 cents to manufacture a penny, and 6.2 cents to manufacture a bill. • The first coin that bore the name United States of America was minted in 1787. It was worth a cent and bore the slogan, “Mind Your Business.” • When the first U.S. mint opened, individual citizens could take their gold and silver there to have it made into coins, free of charge. • The most valuable U.S. coin is the $3 gold piece minted in 1870. There is only one known to exist. • All coins currently minted have a portrait of a president on them. By law no living person is allowed to be portrayed on money of the U.S. • If you count 150 one dollar bills per minute and count 16 hours a day it would take you 20 years to count out a billion dollars. • If someone gave you a million one dollar bills, you would need a box three and a half feet wide by two feet deep by five feet long to carry it all, which is approximately the size of a coffin. • There are only 7 denominations of paper money commonly in use today in the U.S.: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. The highest denomination ever issued was the $100,000 bill, which had a portrait of Woodrow Wilson on it. It is no longer printed. • About half of all bills in circulation are $1 bills. A dollar bill lasts about 18 months in circulation. A coin lasts about 25 years. • A damaged bill that is still 3/5ths intact can be redeemed for full face value. If only 2/5ths are left, it can be redeemed for half face value. Less than that and it’s worthless. • About 3 out of every 10,000 bills are counterfeit. • Paper money is made from 25% cotton and 75% linen and 0% paper. It’s more like cloth than paper. • All 50 states are listed on the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of a $5 bill. • If an asterisk appears in front of the serial number on a bill, it means it’s a replacement for the original, which was defective. • There’s about 1.2 trillion dollars in coin and bills in circulation in the U.S. • If you have $10 in your pocket and no debts, you are wealthier than 25% of Americans. • If all the money in the world were distributed equally among all the people in the world, every person would have about $11,000. • Research has shown that people are happier if they spend their money on experiences rather than possessions. • Bob Marley’s last words were, “Money can’t buy life.”
