IN the ol tom's eyes, Matt, Jaws, Aubie and
Baobab will share the newly created "Lion
Roars" award for going off the topic but
putting postings in clear, understandable
English. Congratulations!

Getting BACK on the topic, I remember a year
ago when I left my favorite Brooks Brothers
navy blue Blazer at the EWR security checkin (I stopped to fish out my wallent, put the jacket on a table and walked off because I was afraid of making my buddy Billy the cab
driver wait longer than he had to.)

Did not realize I lost it for several hours
until I had to get the dry cleaning together.
Went back to the airport and Hester foudn it
and gave it to Lost and Found. Got the Jacket and offer Hester ten dollars for going to the trouble of being honest. She refused
the tip, refused an offer of a coke, free
movie tickets saying "I will get my reward
from the LORD." And it's against our policy
to take tips.

The other tip story: the cab driver was surprised I gave him an 80 cents tip. I normally round off the fare to the closer dollar amount and add a little for courteous
service. He said it was his first tip in the
six hours he worked.

Yes, some may disagree about tipping the cabbie but I figure its a few cents and most
try.

Now lets save Health 101 to Dr. Koops site! And I ALWAYS WASH! CATMAN
