			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A member shared these with me and I&#8217;m sharing them with you &#8211; Enjoy!</p>
<p>1. The fattest knight at King Arthur&#8217;s round table was Sir Cumference.  He acquired his size from too much pi.</p>
<p>2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian .</p>
<p>3. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.</p>
<p>4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.</p>
<p>5. No matter how much you push the envelope, it&#8217;ll still be stationery.</p>
<p>6. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.</p>
<p>7. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.</p>
<p>8. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.</p>
<p>9. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.</p>
<p>10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.</p>
<p>11. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.</p>
<p>12. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: &#8216;You stay here; I&#8217;ll go on a head.&#8217;</p>
<p>13. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.</p>
<p>14. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: &#8216;Keep off the Grass.&#8217;</p>
<p>15 The midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.</p>
<p>16. The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.</p>
<p>17. A backward poet writes inverse.</p>
<p>18. In a democracy it&#8217;s your vote that counts. In feudalism it&#8217;s your count that votes.</p>
<p>19. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.</p>
<p>20. If you jumped off the bridge in Paris, you&#8217;d be in Seine .</p>
<p>21. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.&#8217;</p>
<p>22. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can&#8217;t have your kayak and heat it too.</p>
<p>23. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, &#8216;I&#8217;ve lost my electron.&#8217; The other says &#8216;Are you sure?&#8217; The first replies, &#8216;Yes, I&#8217;m positive.&#8217;</p>
<p>24. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.</p>
<p>25. There was the paralegal who sent ten puns to other paralegals, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.</p>
<p>Amy C. Vaughan, President</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When:  November 9, 2010 @ <strong>5:00 PM</strong></p>
<p>Where: SunTrust Executive Dining Room</p>
<p>RPA will hold its Annual Meeting and Election of Officers and Directors at this meeting. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss a special 15 minute presentation by  <strong>Smokie Sizemore, CPCC at 5:30</strong>!  Smokie is an experienced business and life coach.  She helps professionals ignite their self-esteem, confidence and power, and Smokie will provide RPA members with a 15 minute presentation  &#8221;ALL STRESSED OUT AND NO ONE TO CHOKE!&#8221;  before the buisness meeting.  This is a fun participatory talk with tips that can be used right way if you can&#8217;t find someone to choke.</p>
<p>Stress is lived and talked about as a sacred condition, worn proudly like a mantle.  It causes more havoc in the work place, home and your health than can be measured.  When you know what happens in your body, why you don&#8217;t think well under stress, and how to slow knee-jerk reactions, you have the power to control yourself, create less stress, have a better work and home environment and enjoy a more fulfilling life.   </p>
<p>Smokie understands business from her personal experience starting and building an international flag business.  Burned out after 12 years, she worked with a coach to sell the business and begin life anew with less stress.   Smokie founded the Smart Woman&#8217;s Club <a href="http://www.smartwomansclub.com">www.smartwomansclub.com</a> to help professional women ignite their career and lives.</p>
<p>MENU: Crudite and assorted cheeses, Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce, Coconut Shrimp, Crab cakes, Brushetta, Wild mushroom phillo cups,  chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and chocolate truffles.  Pasta Station: Penne and Tortellini Station with Vodka Sauces, Pesto and Marinara with Roasted Vegetables, Chicken and Italian Sausage.</p>
<p>DESSERT SPONSOR: Document Technologies Inc.</p>
<p>COST:  $20.00</p>
<p>Please RSVP to <a href="mailto:dana.bruce@suntrust.com">dana.bruce@suntrust.com</a> by November 5, 2010</p>
