American Society for Nondestructive Testing
Greater Philadelphia Section

MORE ON CHAIRMAN?S NIGHT
This meeting we thought it would be
interesting as well as informative if each
past Chairman in attendance would say a
few words, sharing their experience with
the Greater Philadelphia Section; things
they have learned, friends they have
made, etc. This night all past section
chairpersons are a guest of the section.
Our key speaker will be the honorable
and ever well coiffed Lester Jenkins, our
past chairman for the last two years.
Come and listen to these pearls of wit
and wisdom from the people who have
been instrumental in making this section
the envy of all ASNT sections from here
to Hoboken, NJ.

THE LAST WORD
16 things it took me 50 years to learn
by Dave Barry
1. You will never find anybody who can give you a
clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-savings
time.
2. You should never say anything to a woman that
even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant
unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her
at that moment.
3. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
4. The one thing that unites all human beings,
regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or
ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL
believe that we are above-average drivers.
5. There comes a time when you should stop expecting
other people to make a big deal about your birthday.
That time is age 11.
6. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and
"mental illness".
7. People who want to share their religious views with
you almost never want you to share yours with them.
8. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why
the human race has not achieved, and never will
achieve, its full potential, that word would be
"meetings".
9. The main accomplishment of almost all organized
protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
10. (Deleted)
11. You should not confuse your career with your life.
12. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the
waiter, is not a nice person.
13. No matter what happens, somebody will find a
way to take it too seriously.
14. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is
always one individual who perceives a solution and is
willing to take command. Very often, that individual
is crazy.
15. Your friends love you, anyway.
16. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up
and dance.
