Women's Locker Room
The Hypochondriacdanny was an extremely nervous patient whose imagination afflicted him
with all kinds of misfortunes that never materialized. one afternoon he stag-gered into the house. he was bent forwards. he tottered to a chair and, still curled into a half-moon shape, dropped into it.
‘Jenny,’ he gasped, ‘it’s happened at last. There was no warning. All of a sud-den i found i couldn’t straighten up. i can’t lift my head.’
when the doctor had arrived and looked at danny, Jenny inquired, ‘is there any hope, doc?’
‘well,’ the gP replied, ‘it would help a great deal if he would undo the third buttonhole of his waistcoat from the top button of his trousers.’
A little boy got lost at the ymcA and found himself in the women’s locker room. when he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover.
The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, ‘what’s the mat-ter, haven’t you ever seen a little boy before?’

The FBI Agents
silly

uote
families are like fudge... mostly sweet with a few nuts.
true story: fBi agents conducted a “search and seizure” at the southwood Psychiatric hospital, which was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of poring over many rooms of financial records, some sixty fBi agents worked up an appetite. The case agent in charge of the investiga-tion called a local pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues. The following telephone conversation took place:Agent: hello. i would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda. Pizza man: And where would you like them delivered? Agent: to the southwood Psychiatric hospital. Pizza man: To the psych hospital? Agent: That’s right. i’m an fBi agent. Pizza man: You’re an FBI agent? Agent: correct. Just about everybody here is. Pizza man: And you’re at the psychiatric hospital? Agent: That’s correct. And make sure you don’t go through the front doors. we have them locked. you’ll have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas. Pizza man: And you say you’re all FBI agents? Agent: That’s right. how soon can you have them here? Pizza man: And you’re over at Southwood? Agent: That’s right. how soon can you have them here? Pizza man: And everyone at Southwood is an FBI agent? Agent: That’s right. we’ve been here all day and we’re starving. Pizza man: How are you go-ing to pay for this? Agent: i have my check book right here. Pizza man: You're all FBI agents? Agent: That’s right, everyone here is an fBi agent. can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? we have the front doors locked. Pizza man: I don’t think so.

Looking For OpportunitiesLook for new opportunities caused by your difficulties!
A major earthquake struck christchurch in february 2011 and caused massive damage in the region. many businesses were forced to close and others suffered huge financial losses. The future looked difficult and Jamie tulloch, the owner of e3, knew that if he did nothing his accounting practice would suffer. so Jamie began looking for new opportunities. realizing that many of his clients would need help making insurance claims to their insur-ance companies, he offered expert advice that meant his clients could put in accurate and timely business insurance claims. This was useful for his clients and created a brand new source of revenue for his firm.
Jamie also saw that thousands of trades people were going to be needed for many years to help rebuild christchurch. And many of these people would be moving to christchurch from other areas. so Jamie began running free seminar for trades people showing them how they take maximum advantage of the huge amount of new work that will be around for trades people. many of these trades people found Jamie’s ideas useful and decided to use his ac-counting services.
so Jamie now had dozens of new trades clients. the end result is that by looking for opportunities in unexpected problems, Jamie has just enjoyed his most successful and profitable year ever in business.
Problems and set backs are a normal part of business. The key is what we do with them.
♪ Music Notes ♫
• The group’s name had numerous inspirations. stuart sutcliffe noted that a motorcycle gang in the film, “The wild one,” was called ‘The Beetles,’ and John lennon reportedly had a dream in which a man appeared “on a flaming pie,” saying, “you will be Beatles with an ‘a’.” The band members were also influenced by the name of Buddy holly’s band, the crickets.
• The Beatles holds the top spot of album sales in the us (106 million), followed by garth Brooks second (92 million), led Zeppelin (83 mil-lion), elvis Presley (77 million), and the eagles (65 million). worldwide The Beatles sold more than 1 billion records.
• contrary to popular belief, the title for “lucy in the sky with dia-monds” was prompted by 4-year-old Julian lennon’s description of a painting he brought home from school, not the drug, lsd. John len-non has been said to have preferred elton John’s rendition of the song, and played background guitar and backup vocals on John’s version, credited as “dr. winston o’Boogie and his reggae guitars.”
• Paul mccartney wrote “hey Jude” for Julian lennon, John’s son.

Statistics about Fivefive is an unusual name, especially for an elephant. with help from her keeper, five has painted more than 50 works of art.
Painting experts even think that her unique contemporary style is worthy of an exhibition. her masterpieces are in demand and you could buy one at the west midland safari Park in Bewdley, worcestershire.
Back to that strange name, five was one of three African elephants that were brought to england from an elephant orphanage in south Africa - when she was five years old. she was 14 going on 15 in 2007. elephant ages and maturity are not unlike humans, thus five would now be considered a teen-ager in the elephant world.

Facts About Ladybugs• ladybugs are beetles. There are nearly 5000 different kinds of ladybugs
worldwide of which 400 ladybug species live in north America.• A female ladybug is usually larger than the male. she will lay more than
1000 eggs in her lifetime. The average life cycle of the average ladybug is between 4 to 6 weeks. some species can live for up to 2-3 years. As many as 6 generations of ladybugs may hatch in a year.
• not all ladybugs are red with black spots. some are orange or yellow with black spots.
• The hard wing cover protects the ladybug's fragile wings which are so thin you can see through them.
• There are special organs on ladybug's feet to help them smell. The lady-bug uses it antennae to touch, smell and taste.
• ladybugs are carnivores. They are found where there is a high insect pest population. Aphids are their favourite food. They will also feast on spider mites, mealy bugs, and scales. They are a gardener's friend.
• ladybugs hibernate in the winter, sometime in people's homes.
• ladybugs are not poisonous to humans. They will bite in self defense but won't hurt you.

A Fresh Perspective
John G. Miller Author of ... ‘QBQ! The Question Behind the Question®’,
‘Flipping the Switch ... Unleash the Power of Personal Accountability’, ‘Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional’,
http://www.qbq.com/ denver, Colorado, usA 303-286-9900 [email protected]
I Own It! Building Character Through Accountabilitysummer is nearly gone. hard to believe, isn't it?And whether your district starts before or after labor day, the new school
year is upon us. Parents and their kids are busy buying new school clothes, along with low tech #2 pencils and high-tech netbooks and computers. All to equip a young person—a future adult and leader—to have an outstanding year, no mat-ter their grade.
All well and good. But no matter how many tools and toys we send them off with, they will enter a bit of a jungle. social pressures, academic competi-tion, peers who don't live by the values you've taught your child, teachers and administrators who are fallible.
life.And in life—when humans are involved—we find some common threads. whether it's in the family, the mom and dad's place of employment, or the
world of school, there exists blame, complaining, victim thinking, and procrastina-tion.
And a lack of ownership.on the job, while our kids are at school, we "big people" hear and hopefully
never make—unaccountable statements such as, "not my problem!" "not my job!" and "not my department!"
no ownership. This lack of ownership we see at work is also manifested through incorrect
questions (iQs):"when will they tell us what's going on?""why don't i get paid more?""who dropped the ball?""why do we have to go through all of this change?""when is that department going to do its job right?"ouch!But imagine what our workplace would be like if people asked The question
Behind the question (QBQ):"what can i do to help out?""how can i be my best today?""what can i do to add value?""how can i practice ownership today?!"
wouldn't that be great? to be an accountable person who takes ownership and to work with people who do the same? well, it can happen. But instead of focusing on training for adults in this quicknote, let's allow our imaginations to run wild. Picture this:
middle and high schoolers fully equipped to practice personal accountability taking ownership for their academic, relational, and athletic results!
instead of asking iQs like these:"why do we have so much homework?""when will my teachers be more fair?""why can't i get a job?""who's going to help me get into college?"youth now learn to ask QBQs like these:"how can i be a better student?""what can i do to excel?""how can i take ownership for all i do?""what can i do to serve others?"now that would be the definition of "cool," right?it can be done. Just like adults on the job, young people can learn to be respon-
sible and avoid blaming, complaining, victim thinking, and procrastination. And though it starts at home with mom and dad
Parenting the QBQ way, every school can offer a little help along the way. And here's the tool they need to do so:
i own it! Building character Through Personal Accountability Practical. Powerful. Pithy. not to mention engaging and fun. This ten lesson curriculum can change young lives today. so please tell your superintendent, principal, and teach-ers about it because the goal is worthy:
Building kids into accountable adults who take ownership for results.Then someday, in the not too distant future, we'll have workplaces where per-
sonal accountability abounds! neat, huh?lastly, here's a thought purchase i own it! and donate it to your child's class-
room. Budgets are tight, 'ya know! Thanks for helping!

I Own It! Building Character Through Accountabilitysummer is nearly gone. hard to believe, isn't it?And whether your district starts before or after labor day, the new school
year is upon us. Parents and their kids are busy buying new school clothes, along with low tech #2 pencils and high-tech netbooks and computers. All to equip a young person—a future adult and leader—to have an outstanding year, no mat-ter their grade.
All well and good. But no matter how many tools and toys we send them off with, they will enter a bit of a jungle. social pressures, academic competi-tion, peers who don't live by the values you've taught your child, teachers and administrators who are fallible.
life.And in life—when humans are involved—we find some common threads. whether it's in the family, the mom and dad's place of employment, or the
world of school, there exists blame, complaining, victim thinking, and procrastina-tion.
And a lack of ownership.on the job, while our kids are at school, we "big people" hear and hopefully
never make—unaccountable statements such as, "not my problem!" "not my job!" and "not my department!"
no ownership. This lack of ownership we see at work is also manifested through incorrect
questions (iQs):"when will they tell us what's going on?""why don't i get paid more?""who dropped the ball?""why do we have to go through all of this change?""when is that department going to do its job right?"ouch!But imagine what our workplace would be like if people asked The question
Behind the question (QBQ):"what can i do to help out?""how can i be my best today?""what can i do to add value?""how can i practice ownership today?!"
wouldn't that be great? to be an accountable person who takes ownership and to work with people who do the same? well, it can happen. But instead of focusing on training for adults in this quicknote, let's allow our imaginations to run wild. Picture this:
middle and high schoolers fully equipped to practice personal accountability taking ownership for their academic, relational, and athletic results!
instead of asking iQs like these:"why do we have so much homework?""when will my teachers be more fair?""why can't i get a job?""who's going to help me get into college?"youth now learn to ask QBQs like these:"how can i be a better student?""what can i do to excel?""how can i take ownership for all i do?""what can i do to serve others?"now that would be the definition of "cool," right?it can be done. Just like adults on the job, young people can learn to be respon-
sible and avoid blaming, complaining, victim thinking, and procrastination. And though it starts at home with mom and dad
Parenting the QBQ way, every school can offer a little help along the way. And here's the tool they need to do so:
i own it! Building character Through Personal Accountability Practical. Powerful. Pithy. not to mention engaging and fun. This ten lesson curriculum can change young lives today. so please tell your superintendent, principal, and teach-ers about it because the goal is worthy:
Building kids into accountable adults who take ownership for results.Then someday, in the not too distant future, we'll have workplaces where per-
sonal accountability abounds! neat, huh?lastly, here's a thought purchase i own it! and donate it to your child's class-
room. Budgets are tight, 'ya know! Thanks for helping!

Statistics about Fivefive is an unusual name, especially for an elephant. with help from her keeper, five has painted more than 50 works of art.
Painting experts even think that her unique contemporary style is worthy of an exhibition. her masterpieces are in demand and you could buy one at the west midland safari Park in Bewdley, worcestershire.
Back to that strange name, five was one of three African elephants that were brought to england from an elephant orphanage in south Africa - when she was five years old. she was 14 going on 15 in 2007. elephant ages and maturity are not unlike humans, thus five would now be considered a teen-ager in the elephant world.

families are like fudge... mostly sweet with a few nuts.
true story: fBi agents conducted a “search and seizure” at the southwood Psychiatric hospital, which was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of poring over many rooms of financial records, some sixty fBi agents worked up an appetite. The case agent in charge of the investiga-tion called a local pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues. The following telephone conversation took place:Agent: hello. i would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda. Pizza man: And where would you like them delivered? Agent: to the southwood Psychiatric hospital. Pizza man: To the psych hospital? Agent: That’s right. i’m an fBi agent. Pizza man: You’re an FBI agent? Agent: correct. Just about everybody here is. Pizza man: And you’re at the psychiatric hospital? Agent: That’s correct. And make sure you don’t go through the front doors. we have them locked. you’ll have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas. Pizza man: And you say you’re all FBI agents? Agent: That’s right. how soon can you have them here? Pizza man: And you’re over at Southwood? Agent: That’s right. how soon can you have them here? Pizza man: And everyone at Southwood is an FBI agent? Agent: That’s right. we’ve been here all day and we’re starving. Pizza man: How are you go-ing to pay for this? Agent: i have my check book right here. Pizza man: You're all FBI agents? Agent: That’s right, everyone here is an fBi agent. can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? we have the front doors locked. Pizza man: I don’t think so.

Looking For OpportunitiesLook for new opportunities caused by your difficulties!
A major earthquake struck christchurch in february 2011 and caused massive damage in the region. many businesses were forced to close and others suffered huge financial losses. The future looked difficult and Jamie tulloch, the owner of e3, knew that if he did nothing his accounting practice would suffer. so Jamie began looking for new opportunities. realizing that many of his clients would need help making insurance claims to their insur-ance companies, he offered expert advice that meant his clients could put in accurate and timely business insurance claims. This was useful for his clients and created a brand new source of revenue for his firm.
Jamie also saw that thousands of trades people were going to be needed for many years to help rebuild christchurch. And many of these people would be moving to christchurch from other areas. so Jamie began running free seminar for trades people showing them how they take maximum advantage of the huge amount of new work that will be around for trades people. many of these trades people found Jamie’s ideas useful and decided to use his ac-counting services.
so Jamie now had dozens of new trades clients. the end result is that by looking for opportunities in unexpected problems, Jamie has just enjoyed his most successful and profitable year ever in business.
Problems and set backs are a normal part of business. The key is what we do with them.
♪ Music Notes ♫
• The group’s name had numerous inspirations. stuart sutcliffe noted that a motorcycle gang in the film, “The wild one,” was called ‘The Beetles,’ and John lennon reportedly had a dream in which a man appeared “on a flaming pie,” saying, “you will be Beatles with an ‘a’.” The band members were also influenced by the name of Buddy holly’s band, the crickets.
• The Beatles holds the top spot of album sales in the us (106 million), followed by garth Brooks second (92 million), led Zeppelin (83 mil-lion), elvis Presley (77 million), and the eagles (65 million). worldwide The Beatles sold more than 1 billion records.
• contrary to popular belief, the title for “lucy in the sky with dia-monds” was prompted by 4-year-old Julian lennon’s description of a painting he brought home from school, not the drug, lsd. John len-non has been said to have preferred elton John’s rendition of the song, and played background guitar and backup vocals on John’s version, credited as “dr. winston o’Boogie and his reggae guitars.”
• Paul mccartney wrote “hey Jude” for Julian lennon, John’s son.

Women's Locker Room
The Hypochondriacdanny was an extremely nervous patient whose imagination afflicted him
with all kinds of misfortunes that never materialized. one afternoon he stag-gered into the house. he was bent forwards. he tottered to a chair and, still curled into a half-moon shape, dropped into it.
‘Jenny,’ he gasped, ‘it’s happened at last. There was no warning. All of a sud-den i found i couldn’t straighten up. i can’t lift my head.’
when the doctor had arrived and looked at danny, Jenny inquired, ‘is there any hope, doc?’
‘well,’ the gP replied, ‘it would help a great deal if he would undo the third buttonhole of his waistcoat from the top button of his trousers.’
A little boy got lost at the ymcA and found himself in the women’s locker room. when he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover.
The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, ‘what’s the mat-ter, haven’t you ever seen a little boy before?’
