Funny Friday...Friday Laugh...
A little humor to end the week
June 10, 2011
We are very proud to announce that on June 16, 2011, Dodge Park Rest Home will take part of Mass Map Region II of Central MA's evacuation drill as part of the long term care facilities cross assistance program. This is the first time that a Rest Home Level IV facility is actively involved in such a drill as a disaster struck facility (DSF)
We will explore the evacuation process of our residents in the case of a true emergency as well as the cooperation of all other local providers. NO ACTUALL RESIDENTS WILL BE EVACUATED. For the purpose of the drill we will use a roster of MOCK residents that will be built from volunteer and other long term care facility personnel.
This plan (MASS MAP) is the first of its kind in the nation and establishes a course of action and an agreed commitment among participating nursing homes, assisted living residences and residential care facilities (rest homes) to assist each other as needed in the time of a disaster.
Quite a few local agencies will be involved with the drill. These include the Department of Public Health, the police and fire department, local EMS providers, EOEA and the local Emergency Operation Center, and the Regional Coordinating Center (RCC). Many of those agencies will send a representative as an observer during the drill to evaluate the cooperation between all agencies.
We hope to learn a lot from this drill and be better prepared for a real disaster to better protect and save the lives of our residents. We will report to all family members of the outcome of the drill as well as things that went very well and things that need to improve at the city and state level.
Save your date for the Dodge Park Rest Home 4th of July Family Cook-out for all the residents, their family members and friends. For more information check this link!!!

| Red light... | | |
I was driving when I saw the flash of a traffic camera. I figured that my picture had been taken for speeding,even though I knew I wasn't. Just to be sure, I went around the block and passed the same spot,driving even more slowly. But again the camera flashed. Thinking this was pretty funny, I drove past even slower three more times,laughing as the camera snapped away each time while I drove by it a snail's pace. Two weeks later,I got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt. |

| Swimming pool??? | |
HELLO? Hi honey, this is Daddy. Is mommy near the phone? No, daddy, shes upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul. After a brief pause, Daddy says, But honey, you dont have an Uncle Paul. Oh yes I do, and hes upstairs in the room with Mommy right now. Brief pause. Uh, OK then, I want you to put the phone down and run upstairs and knock on the door and shout that Daddys car just pulled up. Ok daddy just a minute. A few min later, the girl comes back to the phone. I did it Daddy. And what happened honey? Well, Mommy jumped out of bed naked and ran around screaming, then tripped on the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isnt moving at all! Oh my God!! What about your Uncle Paul? He jumped out the back window into the pool. But I guess he didnt know you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of it and I think hes dead! Really long pause. Then
Daddy says,
Swimming pool? Uh..Is this 558-5732? The girl says, No I think you have the wrong number!!

| Easy money.... | | | |
A man was always thinking up ways of making easy money and one day he thought he was onto a certainty. He taught his parrot to say the 23rd Psalm and then took it down the local pub.
"I bet anyone £5 my parrot can recite the 23rd Psalm from beginning to end," he said.
Quite a lot of interest was shown and a pile of money quickly went down on the bar.
"Go on then, parrot, recite the psalm." Sadly the parrot remained completely dumb and eventually the man took it home, having lost quite a lot of money. "Why the bloody hell didn't you do as I taught you, you scrawny old bird?" "Now hold on," said the parrot. "Think what the odds will be tomorrow when we go back." |
| Sunday service | |
Toward the end of a Sunday service, the Minister asked, how many of you have forgiven your enemies? 80% held up there hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. Miss Joyce; Are you not willing to forgive your enemies? I don't have any. She replied, smiling sweetly. Miss Joyce, this is very unusual. How old are you? Ninety-eight. She replied. Oh, Miss Joyce, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live 98 years and not have any enemy in the world? The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: I out lived those bitches. | |

| Hotel Room | | |
By the time Dave pulled into the small town every hotel room was taken. He finally pulled up to the very last hotel and went into the office. "You've got to have a room somewhere " he pleaded. " -- Or just a bed - I don't care where. "
"Well, I do have a double room with one occupant," admitted the manager," and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. I'm not sure it'd be worth it to you. "
"No problem," the tired travelers assured him. "I'll take it. " The next morning Dave came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy tailed. "How'd you sleep? " asked the manager. "Never better. " The manager was impressed. "No problem with the other guy snoring, then? " "Nope, I shut him up in no time " said Dave. "How'd you manage that? " asked the manager.
"He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came in the room," Dave explained. " I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, said, 'Goodnight, beautiful,' and he sat up all night watching me. " |
