Quality Care Auto has a NEW Owner
Tony Girouard Quality Care Auto of 183 Lisbon Street in Lisbon announces that the 25 years of successful ownership under Tony Doyon came to a close April 1st when 15-year employee/manager Tony Girouard became the new owner. Girouard is a master certified automotive technician with his L1 advanced engine performance certification, along with a state inspection license. He has 20 years of experience working on a variety of makes and models foreign and domestic. Tony will continue to employ the same welltrained and certified staff, both in the office and the shop. He lives in Lewiston with his wife, Jessica and their 3 daughters. Do you trust your mechanic? Come visit us and experience a more personal touch to your auto repair experience, and feel good about your decision to giving us a try. Quality Care Auto has dealer level equipment to properly diagnose most any vehicle. The scenario of paying for your mechanic to replace needless parts to TRY and diagnose a problem with your vehicle will not happen at Quality Care Auto. We want everyone that walks in our door to feel like friends and family rather than customers or clients. Come give us a try, you will like the experience! See their ad on page 48.
All the world's a stage and many of us are desperately unrehearsed.

A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean. The lawyer said, "I'm here because my house burned down, and everything I owned was destroyed by the fire. The insurance company paid for everything." "That's quite a coincidence," said the engineer. "I'm here because my house and all my belongings were destroyed in an earthquake, and my insurance company also paid for everything." The lawyer looked somewhat confused. "How do you start an earthquake?" he asked. I went to a general store, but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.

One rainy evening, my husband, John, and I emerged from a restaurant only to find that he had locked the keys in the car. He insisted he could open the door with a wire coat hanger, so we went back to the restaurant to get one. There were none to be found. John then ran to a department store a quartermile away and returned with a hanger. After a few attempts, he got the door open and we climbed in. As we sat there, soaked and cold, he stuck the hanger under his seat. With a smug grin, he said, "Now if this ever happens again, I'll have one handy."

A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the Priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor?" "Of course. What may I do for you?" "Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday. The dryer is unopened and well over the Customs limits; and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?" "I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie." "With your honest face, Father, no one will question you." When they reached the Customs area, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked: "Father, do you have anything to declare?" "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."

So sad America ranks 25th in the world in math. But at least we're still in the top 10.
The minister of a city church enjoyed a drink now and then, but his passion was for peach brandy. One of his congregants would make him a bottle each Christmas. One year, when the minister went to visit his friend, hoping for his usual Christmas present, he was not disappointed, but his friend told him that he had to thank him for the peach brandy from the pulpit the next Sunday. In his haste to get the bottle, the minister hurriedly agreed and left. So the next Sunday the minister suddenly remembered that he had to make a public announcement that he was being supplied alcohol from a member of the church. That morning, his friend sat in the church with a grin on his face, waiting to see the minister's embarrassment. The minister climbed into the pulpit and said, "Before we begin, I have an announcement. I would very much like to thank my friend, Joe, for his kind gift of peaches ... and for the spirit in which they were given!" Uncle Andy’s Digest ...with June 2014

Debbie is relocating to the Lewiston area from New Hampshire. She shared this with Uncle Andy’s Digest: “First of all, I waited a long time to follow my dreams of becoming a Hairdresser and I love what I do! I find it very theraputic to put my hands in hair and making people feel good about their hair and themselves. A good haircut, style and or color is one of those thing that can make a bad day good or a good day even better! I would love the chance to do that for you!” Ms. Spencer then went on to say, “I must say color is my favorite it is very personal and creative and can be expressive of peoples personalities but I enjoy anything from a child’s first haircut to that monthly maintence because their is job security in hair! it always grows!” Check out Debbie’s hours in their ad on page 47 and make an appointment. We have online booking or simply give her a call at 603-583-0461 or at the salon at 783-0200 today! Visit Allure on Facebook or their website at AllureStudioLewiston.com.

A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and walked timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard & probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. "We'd like to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped.

For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't, and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted. "Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave," she said to him! He sighed in exaspera(continued on next page)

tion and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, and he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus." The president wasn't touched. He was shocked. "Madam," he said, gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."

The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it cost to start a university? Why don't we just start our own? " Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the university that bears their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
Boxer: "Have I done him any damage?" Trainer: "No, but keep on swinging the draft might give him a cold."

Gorilla Golf
“If evolution is fact, why do mothers only have two hands?” – Milton Berle
Submitted by Jimbo
There were two men who played golf together frequently. One was several strokes better than the other. The lesser player was very proud, and never wanted to take any strokes to even up the game. One Saturday morning, he shows up with a gorilla at the first tee. He says to his friend, "I've been trying to beat you for so long that I'm about ready to give up. But, I heard about this golfing gorilla, and I was wondering if it would be alright if he plays for me today. In fact if you're game, I'd like to try to get back all the money I've lost to you this year. I figure comes to about a thousand bucks. Are you willing?" The other guy thought about it for a minute, and then decided to play the gorilla. "After all, how good could a gorilla be at golf?" he thought. Well, the first hole was a straight away par 4 of 450 yards. The guy hits a beautiful tee shot, 275 yards down the middle, leaving himself a 6 iron to the green. The gorilla takes a few powerful practice swings and then laces the ball 450 yards, right (continued on next page)

But, you know what, I've seen enough. I've got no interest in being totally humiliated by this gorilla golfing machine. You send this gorilla back to where he comes from. I need a drink; better make it a double, and I'll write you a check." After handing over the check, and well into his second double the guy asks, "By the way, how's that gorilla's putting?" The other guy replies, "Same as his driving." "That good, huh?" "No, I mean, he hits putts the same way 450 yards, right down the middle!"

A lawyer had just bought a new car, and was eager to show it off to his colleagues. All of a sudden an eighteen wheeler came out of nowhere and took off the driver's side door with him standing right there. "NOOO!" he screamed. He knew that no matter how good a mechanic tried to fix it, it never would be the same. Finally, a cop came by, and the lawyer ran up to him yelling, "MY JAGUAR DOOR WAS JUST RUINED BY SOME FOOLISH DRIVER!" "You're a lawyer aren't you?" asked the policeman. "Yes, I am, but what does this have to do with my car?!" the lawyer asked. "HA! You lawyers are always so materialistic. All you care about is your possessions. I bet you didn't even notice that your left arm is missing did you?" said the officer. The lawyer looked down at his side and cried, "MY ROLEX!"

Happy Father’s Day, Dad and to all the dads out there. If you haven’t tried Heidi’s yet, you should!

When I went to get my driver's license renewed, our local Motor Vehicle Bureau was packed. The line inched along for almost an hour until the man ahead of me finally got his license. He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, "I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture." The clerk looked at his picture closely, and reassured him, "It's okay. That's how you're going to look when the cops pull you over anyway." I am going to call my kids Ctrl, Alt and Delete. Then if they mess up I will just hit them all at once.
