It Pays to Behave
There isn't a person in the world who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can. Henry Ford, American Industrialist
One day a little boy woke up and sat down at the table expecting breakfast. However, his mother says, "You don't get any breakfast until you do your chores."
A little pissed off; the boy goes out to do his chores. When he goes to milk the cow, he kicks it. When he goes to get eggs he kicks a chicken, and when he goes to feed the pigs, he kicks a pig. When the little boy sits down his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal. "Where is the bacon, eggs and milk?" asks the little boy. His mother replies, "I saw you kick the cow, so you don't get any milk; I saw you kick a chicken so you don't get eggs; and I saw you kick a pig so you don't get any bacon!" Just as she ďŹ nishes saying this, the boy's father comes down the stairs and kicks the cat. The little boy looks up at his mother and asks, "Do you want to tell him, or should I?"

Golf Cart Accident Etiquette One day Jack accidentally overturned his golf Cart. Elizabeth, a very attractive and keen golfer, who lived in a villa on the golf course, heard the noise and called out, are you okay, what's your name?" "It’s Jack, and I’m Okay thanks," he replied. "Jack, forget your troubles. Come to my villa, rest a while, and I'll help you get the cart up later."

"That's mighty nice of you," he answered, but I don't think my wife would like it." "Oh, come on," Elizabeth insisted. She was very pretty, very sexy and persuasive...and Jack was weak. "Well okay, “he finally agreed, and added, "but my wife won't like it." After a restorative brandy, and some creative putting lessons, Jack thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know my wife is going to be really upset." "Don't be silly!” Elizabeth said with a smile, “She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?" "Under the cart!" he replied. FACEBOOK.COM//WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE

News & Stuff
Active MLB Players with the Most Hit-By-Pitches According to USA Today researchers, through May 5, 2013:
On the 4th, if you and your family are gathered around a picnic table, and if you're feeling a little patriotic, here are some ideas for a toast. One of the Founding Fathers, John Adams, made a toast on July 4, 1826, on his deathbed. He proclaimed: Independence Forever! This feisty saying is perfect for an old revolutionary like Adams and it sounds mighty smart after the fireworks, too. The Declaration of Independence gives us another suggestion for a cheerful toast on the 4th of July. How about this: Pursue Happiness. According to the Declaration, the Creator gave every person the gift of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These gifts are for all people, the Declaration says, and can't be taken away by a king or even a politician. So on the 4th raise your glass: Pursue Happiness! It's your God-given right.
50 Years Since Nicklaus Won His First Green Jacket Jack Nicklaus says he doesn't remember much about his first Master's win, except that the third round taught him tenacity. The rain was pouring down and the course was pretty soggy. He was playing with Mike Souchak, who was leading by one. At the 18th green, Jack looked at the leader board and saw a lot of ones and twos. Jack's color blind, so he asked his caddy, Willie Peterson, how many were in red. The caddy replied, "Just you, boss."

Company Softball Teams Never Make History but They Can Be Fun with Rules When the big softball game is between Kitchen Maid Sons of Pitchers versus Blood Bath & Beyond, what can you really expect to see? Not history in the making. Yet, company softball lives on because it is a culture in itself and there are rules. Remember one thing that makes company softball fun, or at least mildly amusing, is that anyone can play. Yes, anyone. Yes, even the person who has never played a sport before, even the fellow who dominated pony league as a youth. But according to the Wall Street Journal's Jason Gay, the exception to that rule is the boss. "Many bosses are turned off by softball due to the lack of helicopter parking," Gay writes. But if the boss does want to play, Gay recommends reminding him that it costs $750 per person to play, in advance per inning. And, there are two innings…Only two innings. Now once the roster, which is everybody, is established, next there are a few unwritten rules of play. 1. No one cares how much time it took to get that washboard on your gut. Wear a shirt. This goes for girls and boys. This isn't a swimming pool. 2. The pitcher must throw strikes. Right over the plate, big and slow. 3. Bunting sucks, just don't do it! 4. If your only job is to make screeching sounds in the name of being a cheerleader, then you are buying drinks. Just remember that!

Full of Hot Air
“Party at the Park”
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am."
ENJOY A COLD BEER ON OUR DECK
The man below replied "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am", replied the man. "How did you know?" "Well, answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip even more." The man below responded, "You must be in management." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems?”

James, a Rancher from Milton asks: I heard that about 1 in 10 men will have a problem with impotence sometime in their lives. Those odd aren’t that bad, are they? WINO: Tell that to my pecker!

The Clever Wife
The other night Lisa was invited out for a night with the "girls." She told her husband that she would be home by midnight. Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 am, a bit loaded, Lisa headed for home. Just as she got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realizing her husband would probably wake up, she cuckooed another 9 times. She was really proud of herself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution in order to escape a possible conflict with him. Even totally smashed, 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos equals 12 cuckoos which equals Midnight! The next morning her husband asked Lisa what time she got in and she replied “Midnight!” He didn't seem pissed off in the least. Whew, she was very relieved she got away with that one! Then he said "We need a new cuckoo clock." When she asked him why, he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said ‘Oh shit’, cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

THE LIGHTER SIDE
The Housekeeper My mom is a less than fastidious housekeeper. One evening my dad walked into the kitchen and teased her, "You know, dear, I can write my name in the dust on the mantel." Mom turned to him and sweetly replied, "Yes, darling, I know. That's why I married a college graduate."
The Big Bank A young college boy came running in tears to his father. "Dad, you gave me some terrible financial advice! You told me to put my money in that big bank, and now that big bank is in trouble." "What are you talking about? That's one of the largest banks in the state." "I don't think so," he sniffed. "They just returned one of my checks with a note saying, 'Insufficient Funds'."
The Bridge A man was walking along a California beach, deep in prayer. Suddenly the Lord appeared to him and said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive there." The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. I can do it, but it's hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor me." The man thought about it and finally said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife and know how she feels inside, why she gives me the silent treatment, what she means when she says "nothing's wrong," and how I can make a woman truly happy." The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"
Hippopotamus, New York A woman called to make reservations from Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York. After some searching, the agent said "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code and can't find a Hippopotamus anywhere." She retorted, "Oh don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map and finally asked if she meant Buffalo. "That's it!" she said, "I knew it was a big animal."

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD!

ALL MIXED UP by Lisa Romack
Miami Vice
It is said that the mixture of sweet, sour and tart tastes eerily similar to the candy, Smarties. The Miami Vice Cocktail Drink can be prepared by layering both mixed drinks, either side-by-side or on top of each other. Ingredients Strawberry Daiquiri Mix 1 ¼ oz Bacardi Silver 1 ¼ oz Strawberry Puree ½ cup Ice ½ oz Lime Juice Piña Colada Mix 1 ¼ oz Bacardi Silver 2 oz Coconut Cream 2 oz Pineapple Juice ½ cup Ice Directions Blend the Strawberry Daiquiri Mix and set aside. Blend the Piña Colada Mix and set aside. Either simultaneously pour both mixtures into a Collins glass, or layer one on top of the other. Garnish with some fresh whipped cream and a fresh strawberry.
The Paradisio Tread lightly here. This light, sparkling cocktail will whisk your mind away to a tropical paradise. It balances the sweetness of Chambord (a French black raspberry liqueur) and Tuaca (an Italian liqueur with notes of vanilla and orange) with the dry effervescence of Prosecco and tart lemon oils. Simple elegance. Ingredients 1 oz Tuaca Juice from 2 Fresh Lemon Wedges ½ tsp White Granulated Sugar 1 oz Water ¼ oz Chambord 1 oz Prosecco Directions Combine the first 4 ingredients, shake vigorously, and strain cocktail into a chilled martini glass. Drop ¼ oz Chambord through the center of the cocktail glass and then float 1 oz of Prosecco on top. Garnish with a fresh lemon twist.
Le Citron Lemongrass
Watching your waistline? Use lowerproof vodka, like Skinny Girl. You may think drinking vodka instead of darker liquors is a low-calorie alternative; and you’d be right. But did you know that the higher the proof, the more calories the vodka carries? The reasoning is simple: It contains more alcohol! Ingredients 1 ½ oz Grey Goose® Le Citron Vodka ½ oz Agave Nectar ½ oz Lime Juice 1 tsp Kaffir Lime Leaves, thinly sliced 1 tsp Lemongrass, thinly sliced 2 oz Tonic Water Directions In a cocktail shaker, place the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, muddle well. Add ice and remaining ingredients and shake vigorously. Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice and garnish with fresh mint.

La La’s Love Letters Dear LaLa: I have recently moved into a townhouse. It is lovely except for my next door neighbors. He has annoying behaviors such as walking to the mailbox in his silk boxers and she cleans her place in the nude with the lights on? The other neighbors have adBy Lauren Strec justed to this pair’s limit bending. I seem to be the neighbor most affected by their behaviors. Is there anything I can do? I'm about ready to lose my mind, it really makes me uncomfortable! Jumping Jenny Dear Jenny, I don’t know why this obvious answer is so nonexistent in today’s society—COMMUNICATE! Drop off a letter in their mailbox, asking when would be a good time for you to stop by and talk, or have them over for coffee. When you have your meeting, spill the beans in a non-attacking manner. Tell them that what they do in their own home is their business, but it makes you uncomfortable because you it is indeed projected outside of their walls. Tell them that you want to find a compromise. Maybe the nudie can keep the lights off or close the blinds. Maybe “silky butt” can throw on a robe. Either they will get defensive, and you will just have to invest in drapes of your own, or maybe they had no idea that they were causing discomfort, and will totally cooperate. Point is, you gotta talk to find out and attempt to make progress. Dear LaLa: I've known this guy for about 6 months and he's my best friend. We have a lot of things in common and we just seem to click. There is one problem though; my friend who introduced us has liked him for 4 years. He pretty much ignores her and spends time with me. I don't know what to tell her. We are attracted to each other and we keep sneaking around so she won't see us in town. I told her that I like him and she was upset. Any advice on how to proceed? Sneaky Sara Dear Sara, Obviously, whichever decision you make, will result in losing one of the people as a companion. So, the first step is to analyze about how much these two different friendships mean to you. How long have you been friends with your girlfriend, and how much have you two gone through together? If you have a solid friendship with history, it might not be worth losing it over a guy that you have only known a half year. If she’s just an casual friend, then I would say go for the guy; he sounds hot. Your girlfriend should know by now, that after 4 years, she shouldn’t be investing her time in someone that doesn’t reciprocate. If you determine that you want to save your friendship with the broad, definitely work with her to get over him. Who knows— maybe after some time passes, she’ll get over him and you can keep both. But not likely. Dear LaLa: I work for an adult phone service. I met this guy on the phone line 5 years ago. He is very much in love with my character (basically me). The problem is I don't look anything like my character. He is 31, I am 50, and separated from my second husband. He thinks I am younger and have never been married. Do I tell him the truth and risk making him angry and lose my job or do I break things off and disappear. He has never been in a

serious relationship and no matter how much I have tried to push him away, he keeps coming back. No matter what happens, he's going to be hurt, but it's hard to tell someone that you have lied to them for 5 years. HELP! Your current “relationship” is built on fantasy. Get it together, girl! Like you already said and know, he is love with your character. Even though you are the creator of this facade, the “real you” is not who he thinks he loves. And c’mon, do you want to be with a guy who calls sex hotlines? He hasn’t been in a relationship because he doesn’t have face-to-face social skills. Don’t risk your job, ruin the fun thing you have going, and cause negative feelings all for something that isn’t even concrete. Snap out of it, make your money, and get out into the world to meet real men who don’t want to chop you up into pieces and throw you in the freezer. Dear LaLa: My girlfriend wants to be a singer and she is really good and super beautiful. I 'm afraid that she really has a chance of “making it” and when she becomes famous will dump me like a hot potato. Do I encourage her or tell her to give it up for the sake of saving our relationship? If you two have a strong bond, then her fame will not matter. If there is a void somewhere, the fame will just be a catalyst to what was already inevitable. Another catalyst? NOT encouraging her. Speaking from personal experience, nothing causes more resentment than being with a guy who doesn’t cheer you on. I’ll still get pissed thinking about that piece of crap. ANYWAY, with that said, stand by her, and if things go well, ride the wave WITH her. If she leaves, then know that it’s better off sooner than later.

Chicagoland came out in full force to welcome the cast and crew from the Full Throttle Saloon June 20th-23rd at Toyota Park in Bridgeview for the very first Throttlefest Chicago!
ANGIE & MICHAEL BALLARD
Full Throttle Saloon is an American reality television series airing on the truTV network. The series provides an inside look at the world's largest biker bar located in Sturgis, South Dakota. Owner Mike Ballard and a full cast of characters race against the clock to serve huge crowds at the Full Throttle Saloon during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally the first full week of August. More than 300,000 people visit the Full Throttle during the annual event, where Ballard and his team face the many pressures catering to the huge Sturgis influx of bikers, all while providing patrons an experience they will not forget! Michael Ballard, owner of the Full Throttle Saloon, purchased the 30-acre property in 1999 and turned it into the world's largest biker bar. Complete with dreadlocks and a motorcycle of his own, Ballard has made a career out of running a bar that is only open 10 days out of the year during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Angie Carlson is Ballard's wife, and a dancer at the saloon. She also has her own section of the Throttle known as "Angieland" where visitors can get their picture taken with Carlson's rear end, believed to be the most photographed butt on the planet. She also helps Ballard run the Full Throttle and oversees calculating nightly earnings for the bar.
Jessie Dupree
Goat
Jesse James Dupree is the lead singer of the rock band Jackyl and is Ballard's business partner. He oversees all of the entertainment at the Full Throttle Saloon and is also a series Executive Producer. Fans of the show can’t help but stay tuned to check out what crazy stunt Jesse is planning each season to upstage himself from the prior year, driving Michael and Angie crazy in the process. Gregg "The Goat" Cook of Rapid City, South Dakota is the official voice of the Full Throttle Saloon. He has been employed by Michael Ballard for 12 years, from the first day they broke ground. Cook is an emcee, DJ and a trained Chef.

Giving Back Kutter, located at 3223 N Pontiac Drive in Janesville, is synonymous with Harley-Davidson in Southern Wis-
consin and Northern Illinois. Kutter has been ranked the #1 Harley-Davidson dealer in the United States, has repeatedly received national and regional awards for technical, customer service, and merchandising, and has annually been honored with the prestigious Harley-Davidson Gold Bar and Shield Circle of Excellence Award, recognizing industry leaders in all facets of sales, service and facilities.

festivities taking place “under the stars” at the Rudy Kutter Memorial Pavilion. Each year until April 1st, Kutter accepts applications from any non-profit organization wishing to be considered for one of their Tuesday night bike nights. A committee chooses 13 recipients each year to sponsor a night in which they receive all proceeds from the evening to use for their organization. Each group assembles a committee responsible for organizing their event and activities for the evening to help make it as successful as it can be. Each Tuesday a local band, eatery and bar donates their time with all proceeds going to the non-profit organization. Rain or shine, be sure to pencil in Tuesday nights from 5pm-9pm and come enjoy some music, food, and fun while you help support a local charity.

The Birthday Present Lucille decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high. "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay. I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use." "But I didn't use them." ''Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which
they were so famous. "We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here." "But I didn't go to any of those shows." "Well, we have them, and you could have." No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes of discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00." "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't!" "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

POOL TALK Impress Your Friends With This Months Trick Shot 2
Hit the one, carom the eight, make way for the one, to combo with the three, nine.
1
Heads or Tails? Flip the the dime into the glass
This is another way of hitting the one ball to make the nine ball and win the game. As like last month, I am not so sure that you will ever find yourself in a position like this in a game, but it is fun all the same. Strike the cue ball with medium to firm pace and with right hand English at the one ball to kick it off the rail and send it back towards the three ball. The cue ball should then carom the eight ball which in turn will move it out of the way for the one ball to pass down the rail and combo the three, nine. Set up as the diagram with the three and nine touching and in line with the corner pocket. This shot when set up correctly is a real crowd pleaser. The only difficulty might be is making the right kick off the side rail to have it come back towards the three at the right angle.

I have played this shot many times and one ball ends up hitting the cue ball or eight ball, so follow the diagram and adjust the one or eight as you go if it doesn’t work. Best of luck, until next month.........

Can I Get a Push? A man is in bed with his wife when there is a rat-a-tat-tat on the door. He rolls over and looks at his clock, and it's half past three in the morning. "I'm not getting out of bed at this time," he thinks, and rolls over. Then, a louder knock follows. "Aren't you going to answer that?" says his wife. So he drags himself out of bed and goes downstairs. He opens the door and there is a man standing at the door. It didn't take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk. "Hi there," slurs the stranger. "Can you give me a push?" "No, get lost. It's half past three. I was in bed," says the man and slams the door. He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says, "Dave, that wasn't very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby sitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get us started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost?" "But the guy was drunk," says the husband. "It doesn't matter," says the wife. "He needs our help and it would be the right thing to help him." So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed and goes downstairs. He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts, "Hey, do you still want a push?" And he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah, please." So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts, "Where are you?" And the stranger replies, "I'm over here, on your swing."

TAURUS: Being the leader is the role you like best. But sometimes you have difficulty getting started, especially true about home projects. Get help and lead there too. GEMINI: Don't be surprised if the wanderlust creeps back into your life this month. With the Fourth of July break and upcoming vacations, it's the perfect time for it. CANCER: The stars predict that a budget, either at work or at home, will draw your attention this month. A team effort may be required, so have a diplomatic approach.

LIBRA: With all these summer barbecues and get gettogethers, it's brings opportunities for a sociable person like you to add to the fun and to help others enjoy it. SCORPIO: Watch your tendencies to be strong willed and opinionated. In matters of love and romance, they could be a turn off. Focus on empathy and love for now. SAGITTARIUS: Because you are considerate of your colleagues and fellow workers, you are able to bring out their energy and courage in work matters. Don't change now. CAPRICORN: It's a bummer to have a health problem when you want to enjoy the summer. Follow your doctor's advice and get better. There's plenty of sunshine left. AQUARIUS: Rather than wearing yourself out traipsing around the country, consider taking a vacation at home. Do anything you want to do, rest and get happy. PISCES: Your water sign is calling, be it for a cruise or time at a lake or river, you'll be revitalized upon your return. Take your partner and go. 773.288-9400
