Sent: Thursday, January 28, 1999 4:26 PM Subject: Incline Club V3 LR #10 It’s the last long run of the month! This Sunday, January 31th 8 a.m. meet by the Incline We will run up to Barr Camp and then out Elk Park to the big clearing and back. 2:30 to 3:30 depending on speed. **** Best joke (g-rated) sent to me by an Incline Club member: A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He reads the teller’s name plate and says, “Ms.Whack, I’d like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation.” Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says $30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger. Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, “Sure. I have this,” and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she’ll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says: “There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who wants to borrow $30,000 and wants to use this as collateral although I am not sure what it is.” She holds up the tiny pink elephant. The bank manager looks back at her and says: (see the very end of this e-mail) **** Well that should have been long enough to make up for the fact that I have nothing to say:-) **** WWW post: 1/24/99 30 humans and 3 K9s came to the 2nd running of the double psycho loop. Waldo Canyon was in great shape and with perfect temperatures this flew by fast. About 3 inches of new snow on Longs Ranch Road made Mama Bear and Papa Bear hills a real challenge. All that did the loop were greeted by a message written in the snow “Welcome to Hell.” 14 people came to breakfast after the run.
