IRONY

319.389.1999 · Cell Phone www.SteveEmig.com

by Janet Spencer The definition of ‘irony’ is “incongruity between what is expected to be and what actually is, or a situation or result showing such incongruity.” Come along with Tidbits as we laugh at a few choice examples of irony at work in the world!

IRONY AT WORK IN THE WORLD

• In 1966 Harry Guyton, who worked for the prosecutor’s office in San Francisco, put his name on a waiting list to get a reserved parking space in a city-owned garage downtown. Nineteen years later he was notified that the parking space was his… …after he had been retired for two years. • City public information director Randy Myer of Lexington, KY, paid $400 for steelbelted tires guaranteed to be bulletproof, bombproof, and spikeproof. He got a flat tire… …when he rolled over a ballpoint pen. • When Frank Taylor, age 86, was arrested in Hollywood on charges of malicious mischief, he used his free phone call… …to contact the Los Angeles airport and make a bomb threat. • In Cedar Lake, Indiana, a large watchdog quietly observed two people robbing his master’s store. He then proceeded… …to bite the cop who came to investigate. Flip the page for more Irony!

• Three men were hanged in 1911 for the murder of Sir Edmund Berry. They were hanged in London at Greenberry Hill. The names of the three men were… …Green, Berry, and Hill. • In the 1950s the BBC had a new building erected next to the old building with connecting halls between. The Music Department worried about the problems of transporting grand pianos between the buildings, so they asked carpenters to build a mock-up of a piano to see if it would fit through the hallways and doors. The model piano was constructed in the workshop… …and then found to be too large to pass through the shop doors. • NASA was preparing to launch a rocket in order to study lightning. As the rocket rested in its launcher prior to take-off… …it was hit by lightning, triggering a false take-off and ruining the mission. • Doctors in Los Angeles went on strike in 1976 to protest malpractice insurance rates. During the strike… …the death rate dropped 18 percent. • New York City spent $54,000 in 1981 on an exhibit designed to lure foreign manufacturers to set up shop in the city. The display, called “Make it In New York”… …was manufactured in New Jersey. • There are lots of towns in America with the word “Beach” in their names: Miami Beach, Long Beach etc. But the only town in America that is named simply “Beach” is in… …land-locked North Dakota. • Lucille Ball was once dismissed from a drama class because the instructor thought… …she was too shy.

WHOLESALE FIREWORKS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME! Have you made that expensive road trip to an Iowa border to buy fireworks and later discovered you actually purchased plenty of disappointment? Firework vendors near our borders are designed to fleece Iowans with shoddy product and high prices. Now you can order from the comfort of your home and I GUARANTEE SATISFACTION. If you would like a copy of our catalog and the opportunity to view a huge sample container of our products, call the number below. We can meet in Cedar Rapids or set an appointment for me to visit your home. This is 100% legal as an Iowa citizen is allowed to possess any consumer firework however, the samples I carry are not for sale. Fireworks purchased will be shipped from another state and are transported as heavy freight by truck. A local trucking company promises delivery within 48 hours. All of our products are name brand and high quality so performance is easy to view on YouTube. Then Google 'fireworks for sale' to check our prices. Wholesale fireworks usually means full cases but we allow you to select individual items and define wholesale in terms of dollars spent using some minimum amount. We've discussed $200 but it is important to note that larger buyers may qualify for free shipping. We also offer assistance in obtaining your fireworks permit. Once you buy from us, you will never shop anywhere else. I have that much confidence in our products.

• In 1964 a casting director was looking for a man to portray the president in a film called “The Best Man.” Someone suggested Ronald Reagan be offered the part, but the director said… …“Reagan doesn’t have the presidential look.” • The manager of a movie theater in South Korea decided that the running time of “The Sound of Music” was too long. He cut it down… …by editing out all the songs. • 5,000 copies of John Steinbeck’s book “The Wayward Bus” were in a truck traveling from the bindery when there was a traffic accident. The truck was wrecked and all 5,000 copies of the book burned in the resulting fire. The cause of the accident was… …a bus — a wayward bus — that had been traveling down the wrong side of the road. • Albert J . Lowry, author of “How To Become Financially Independent by Investing in Real Estate” and other bestselling books on how to get rich… …filed for bankruptcy under Chapter VII of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. • Horatio Alger, famous for his rags-toriches stories… …died penniless. • The address where Mrs. O’Leary’s cow presumably kicked over a lantern, starting the Chicago fire in 1871… …is now the address of the Chicago Fire Academy. • The first time the Harlem Globetrotters ever actually played a game in Harlem was in 1968… …after they’d been in existence for over 40 years.

by Samantha Weaver * It was 19th-century mathematician and philosopher William Kingdon Clifford who made the following sage observation: “It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.” * Thanks to stories of Robin Hood, most people have heard of King Richard the Lion-Hearted. He wasn’t much of a king, though; he spent only about six months in England, and he didn’t even speak English. * If you have the great good fortune to take a cruise along the length of the Danube River -- Europe’s second-longest -- you’ll hear seven languages spoken along the banks as you travel.

Salvador Dali, eccentric painter, bought a large castle in Spain for his wife. In one of the rooms, there stood a rather ugly, old-fashioned heat radiator, so his wife asked him if he would paint a screen for it. He did. The screen depicted in realistic detail the radiator it was hiding.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE

GETTING OUT OF PARK

Picture our life as an automobile. Hope scrapes the mud off the windshield so we can see something that is beyond my circumstance. Faith is the gas pedal that we press to get out and beyond the park position or ditch. Love is the fuel in the tank that is the source for our movement. Without fuel we can’t go anywhere. It takes love to get us to have enough faith to move beyond our self. In our journey through life we are always Easter in one of three seasons on the road we travel. We are either driving into storm, driving in a storm, or driving out of a storm. The common thread ve appliances to: to understanding all three seasons is that we are always surrounded by storms. Love is the overstock fuel, of appliances. faith is the accelerator, and hope is a clear enough windshield to provide direction. whole paper and get 25% OFF appastorjimcoyle@yahoo.com

• In South Carolina, a wedding party in a photographer’s studio was being photographed when the floor collapsed, dumping them into the basement. In Mississippi, the band playing in the bandstand during 4th of July festivities plunged through the floor. In Tennessee, pacifists staged a peace rally at the courthouse. American Legionaries held a counter-protest and paraded in military style up the courthouse steps, which collapsed beneath them. All of these incidents were caused by termites. • In 1951 a warehouse in Missouri was found to be termite infested. Just then one of the worst floods in the city’s history inundated the town. For a full week, the warehouse was submerged. When the flood receded, the owners of the warehouse figured that their termite problem was over. However, after the mud was shoveled out, the termites were found to be still alive and thriving. Termites do more damage in the U.S. than lightning, tornadoes, arson, and vandalism combined. • Termites were among the first insects to appear on earth, showing up well before the dinosaurs. They are found in every state except Alaska. Texas has more species of termites than any other state with 17. California is a close second, followed by Arizona and Florida. Areas of least infestation include Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas. Termites have been able to expand their range vastly due to the invention of central heating, which keeps them warm throughout the winter. Infestation is so heavy in Washington, D.C. that city codes prohibit the construction of wooden floors in city buildings. Termites were once found living on the 11th floor of a high-rise hotel in Silver Moon Beach, Florida. They got all the water they needed from a leaky ice-cube machine and an incontinent poodle. • All termites are deaf. However, they are extremely sensitive to vibrations, which is why they never live in railroad ties, bowling alleys, or factories with heavy machinery. • Termites devour not only all kinds of wood and wood products, but also wool, horns, ivory, rubber, plastic, and manure. They have been known to eat the corks right out of wine bottles. One kind of Panamanian termite can gnaw through lead sheathing on cables and even eats through concrete. Voracious Australian termites can reduce an abandoned ranch to dust in a matter of a few years. • Some termite colonies in Africa are estimated to be more than 80 years old and contain 3 million or more termites. All the termites in a colony are descended from the same set of parents. A queen termite is 2,400 times bigger than the worker termites. A queen can lay 84,000 eggs in a single day. • Over 50 species of birds eat termites. A flicker (a type of woodpecker) dissected by an ornithologist had 1,109 termites in its stomach. • Termites construct tunnels in all directions from their nest to avoid the sunlight. Some tunnels extend 100 yards or more. Workmen once uncovered a system of tunnels 13 feet below the surface of the earth. • Although no kind of North American termite makes its nest above ground, the practice is common in tropical termites. Cementlike termite columns may rise 30 feet high. Composed of earth, saliva, and excrement, the material is extremely tough. When crushed and rolled, it forms marvelous tennis courts, roads, pottery, and bricks. One large mound yielded enough material to make almost half a million bricks. On a golf course in Africa, golfers tee off from the flat top of a 15-foot termite mound while 100 other mounds on the course provide the hazards.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Low Sodium ... Or Not --Low-sodium foods are everywhere on grocery-store shelves, and it’s assumed those are the ones we should have. The British Journal The Lancet recently set off a firestorm when it reported the result of research: High sodium intake is bad for those with high blood pressure, increasing cardiovascular events and death. (OK, that’s no surprise.) However ... low sodium intake is bad for those with or without high blood pressure and is associated with cardiovascular events and death. To read it again: Very-low sodium intake can cause cardiovascular events and death, whether or not you have high blood pressure. This was no small-population study. McMaster University in Canada and National University of IrelandGalway looked at 130,000 people in 49 countries. Why is it that low intake of sodium can potentially be bad for us? We’re left mystified, because the study only mentions “adverse elevations of certain hormones.” A 2014 study with 101,000 participants in 17 countries found the same results, with an average amount of sodium being a lot less risky for cardiovascular events and death than very low sodium intake. This study got specific with the numbers (including a chart) and showed that the sodium intake suggested by the American Heart Association is very near the lowsodium level that causes problems. Then there’s the other study that shows that adequate sodium helps to fight infection. The firestorm started when the American Heart Association jumped in and called the Canada-Ireland study flawed and not valid. There are some illnesses and situations, however, that can be made worse by a low-sodium diet. What do we do with this conflicting information? We track our sodium intake and let our doctor know what it is, and we take the advice we’re given. We have to decide whom to trust. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Mazzotta Why Dogs Can’t Use People Toothpaste? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog’s veterinarian said that I need to brush her teeth to keep them from falling out. He then tried to sell me a tube of “special” toothpaste that cost $9! Plus it smelled like canned chicken. What is the point if brushing isn’t going to freshen her breath? Can I just buy regular toothpaste from the drugstore? Sign me -- Angry in Iowa DEAR ANGRY: The No. 1 reason not to use “regular” toothpaste made for humans on a pet is because it contains flouride, which can be fatal to pets if ingested. And because your dog will swallow all toothpaste being used on her teeth, that is a problem. Why brush? Healthy teeth and gums don’t just preserve her teeth, they can prevent heart disease. So, knuckle down and buy a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste, either from the vet or the pet store. Or, you can even make your own baking sodaand bullion-based recipe. To brush your dog’s teeth, hold her securely and place a little bit of doggy toothpaste on the brush (you can use a cotton ball on puppies and small dogs, to start). Let her taste it, then cradle her muzzle and lift one side of her lip. Place the brush against her gums and gently sweep downward. She will lick the toothpaste away as you work, so use as much as you need. The first few tries may even be frustrating as she tries to break away. The key is to brush regularly, at least once a week, and try different flavors. And never scold her: give lots of encouragement during the brush and a healthy treat right after.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

--* If you use plastic grocery-store bags to line a small garbage can, here’s a great way to keep them from falling into the bottom of the can: Use two Command hooks (they have a stick-on back) on either side of your trash can. Aim the hook toward the bottom of the can, so that the bag’s handles catch on it. This works great in our house! -- M.M. in Pennsylvania * Use a binder clip to help your kitchen sponge stand up. That way, it will dry out better, as both sides will be exposed to the air instead of one lying flat. The sponge will collect less mildew, which is yucky. When it’s ready for a good wash, use the binder clip to secure it in the dishwasher.
