HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE GOLDEN LIST THREAD. Three guys were sitting in a bar talking. One was a doctor, one was a lawyer, and one was a biker. After a sip of his martini, the doctor said, "You know, tomorrow is my anniversary. I got my wife a diamond ring and a new Mercedes. I figure that if she doesn't like the diamond ring, she will at least like the Mercedes, and she will know that I love her." After finishing his scotch, the lawyer replied, "Well, on my last anniversary, I got my wife a string of pearls and a trip to the Bahamas. I figured if she didn't like the pearls, she would at least like the trip, and she would know that I love her." The biker then took a big swig from his beer, and said, "Yah, well for my anniversary, I got my old lady a tee-shirt and a vibrator. I figured if she didn't like the tee-shirt, she could go screw herself."

EMPIRE STATE BUILDING This guy goes up to a bar located at the top of the Empire State Building in New York. It looks like a nice place and he takes a seat at the bar next to another guy. "This is a nice place, I've never been here", the first guy says. "Oh really?", the other replies, "it's also a very special bar". "Why is that?", the first guy asks. "Well, you see that painting on the far wall? That's an original Van Gogh, and this stool I'm sitting on was on the Titanic." "Gee, that's amazing!", the first guy says. "Not only that, but you see that window over there, fourth from the right? Well, the wind does strange things outside that window. If you jump out you'll fall about 50 feet before the wind catches you and you're pushed back up." "No way, that's impossible", the first guy replies. "Not at all, take a look", the other man replies and walks over to the window, followed closely by the first man. He opens the window, climbs over the sill and falls out. He drops 10 ... 20 . . 30 . . . 40 . . . 50 feet, comes to a stop, and whoosh! He comes right back up and sails back through the window. "See, it's fun. You should try it", he says. "Try it? I don't even believe I saw it!", the first man shouts. "It's easy. Watch, I'll do it again". And with that, he falls out the window again. He drops 10...20...30...40...50 feet, comes to a stop, and whoosh! He comes right back up and sails back through the window. "Go ahead, give it a try, it's a blast", he says. "Well, what the heck. OK, I'll give it a try", the first man says and proceeds to fall out the window. He falls 10 . . . 20 . . . 30 . . . 40 . . . 50..... 100 . . . 200 . . . 300 . . . 500 . . . 1000 feet and SPLAT! . . . . ends up as road pizza on the sidewalk below. After calmly watching the first man fall to his death, the other guy casually closes the window and heads back to the bar and orders another drink. The bartender arrives with the drink and says, "You know, Superman, you're a real a**hole when you're drunk". ________________________

Jim, here is the rest of the story. My better half ( Sheila) and I are resting from a most tremendous trip. First it has to be understood that Sheila had planned this trip for my birthday for a long time ahead. I, the innocent one did not know of her devious plans.....:=) She knew that I love outdoors and flyfishing, so she chartered a Beaver (seaplane), and the trip goes as follows: Thursday she at last has to tell me that we are going fishing and camping. We pack all the essentials, and head for Vancouver. We arrive Vancouver at 11:30 pm and Check into ( not our usual place,it was full ) the remodeled Biltmore on Kingsway and 12th. We wake up early too get to the seaport at the foot of Burrard (downtown). We are supposed to leave at 10:00 am and arrive in ample time to learn that it's too cloudy this morning to take off . After a short chat with our pilot, we are advised to keep an eye on the weather, and if it clears up a little we can take off. Hence Sheila and I proceed to tour our favorite city. After a couple of hours we are ready for takeoff. We have a very pleasant pilot, who has a lot of knowledge of the area we are heading for. All loaded we head out and take off over Lion's gate bridge and all is wonderfull. Sheila and I are really enjoing this beginning of the flight.Suddenly the pilot turns around and calmly saying " we have to turn around, I have some engine problems " I look out the window, and notice we are over the coast of Bowen Island. We all try too look like this is no problem and we head back to Vancouver. The trip back was low over Stanley Park ( which was a treat for us both ) and we landed with no problem. Told to wait for about half an hour, til they had dried out one of the "magnetos ". We wait and no luck. So they then offered to take us to their competition next door, and sure enough they had a Beaver we could charter for the same price. ( I still don't know how much this cost and don't want to....:=)..) Everything gets reloaded onto the other plane and unfortunately we say farwell to our favorite Pilot. This new pilot is not much of a talker and not willing to share that extra " smile ". The trip to the lake takes us up to Sechelt and then we head east towards Klowhom lake. We arrive at this beutifull place with a waterfall and a nice little beach. The lake is crystal clear, and the waterfall is a sight for sore eyes. In short we were at our perfect place. Unloaded and an uncerimonious farwell to the pilot. We were now alone with nature and all the wild animals be it bears or little creatures going "scratch " in the night. Tent set up, and a leanto by the newly started fire we were set for a weekend to be remembered. This first day was perfect with sunset and a starry night. Woke up the next morning, it was partly cloudy and we made a nice breakfast ( from freezedried bags ).....:=) Amazing what they put in these bags these days. This " stuff"was given to us by two older ladys we have done remodelling for. They both are very fond of us. Well after breakfast we set off on some exploring. We tried to follow the water fall all the way to the source. We walked for about four miles, and did not find this source, but encountered fresh bear turds and lots of different birds and animals. We were in heaven. Only us and nature, no worries abut daily " work etc ". Arrived back in our camp about 4 hours later to find the fish jumping all over. We got the rods out and had a wonderfull time catching fish. Fish for dinner and feeling content we entered the realm of night. The next day ( Sunday ) we woke up to heavy rain and low clouds. I managed to start a fire ( and it became very decent fire after a while, considering the rain. We fought drips coming from the not so waterproof tarp and endless smoke from the fire endlessly following you where ever you sat. Now of course you don't smell this smoke after a while, but as we found out, the smoke would stay with us and all our camping gear for days to come.Wake up in the morning smelling and tasting the smoke from the fire several days later.Ahhhhh how we love camping and the trials of enduring out in the wild. Back to story/experience at hand....:=) That rainfilled morning also gave us a surprise as to the lake and the waterfall. The lakeshore, at the start of this trip was about 7meters from our firepit. Now it was challenging the actuall raging fire it self. Licking at the edge of the stones making the pit. The waterfall ( which we had walked on/close to ) the preveous day was now a raging white water in "FURY" and not only running in the single trac as usual, but had now split in two and seperating us from the mainland. In other words we were cought by a rising lake and waterfall in rage. Now the clouds were low and the Beaver was supposed to pick us up at 4 pm. At three pm, we had all packed, but in doubt if the pilot would be able to land. Now, you have to also know that our sleeping bag, and most of the cloths we had were soaked. Due to a leaking tent and tarp. Well we were a little nervous now. Lake still rising and the waterfall getting even bigger. 4 pm and still no plane....................We are getting nervous but keeping up the spirit and what wonderfull time we have had so far......:=) 4:10 pm Yahoooooooooooo.....plane coming in low under the clouds like a majestic bird. Ahhhh we were so relieved....started laughing and smiling to each other, joy there was. Loaded up, said our farewell in silence as we now left this exciting place. A trip to remember, and a reliefe from daily life in the city. Well Jim, hope this was not too long.....:=) Jon Sveen
