Greetings to everyone/Bonjour à toute le monde:

1. It is not often that I send this message to everyone on the e-mail list, but this is the last e-mail from our offices at 1600 James Naismith Drive. C'est notre dernier transmission de bureau national en Gloucester. Here's the notice to all our sports friends.

WE'RE OUT OF HERE!!!!

Effective December 1, 1998 the Federation of Canadian Archers will be moving its offices to a new location. Our mailing address will remain the same, but if you want to drop by, the new address is:

Federation of Canadian Archers

Suite 200,

2460 Lancaster Road,

Ottawa, Ontario. K1B 4S5

(phone) 613-260-2113 (fax) 613-260-2114

Our e-mail address remains: information@fca.ca

Due to the upheavel this move will cause, the offices will be closed until December 7th, 1998.

Thank you

Kathleen Millar / FCA General Manager

Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

Another flight Attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no Ma'am," said the pilot, "what is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"

After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.

Part of a Flight Attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways.

Bye for now/A la prochaine :)
