Bar Trick for the Week:
The Jumping Egg: Only good at bars that have eggs on hand, you know the kind of places, Place two BIG sherry glasses near each other and put an egg in the one nearest to the customer. Tell the customer to move the egg from one to the other without touching the egg or the glasses. Here's how its done: Blow hard into the glass with the egg and it will "flip" into the other glass... Honest! (Practice to estimate the correct distance with a hard boiled egg ) Try it first at home, it took me four times before I got it down.

Poem for the Week:
Drinking Song, From: Bloody Brother

DRINK to-day, and drown all sorrow,
You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow.
Best, while you have it, use your breath;
There is no drinking after death.

Wine works the heart up, wakes the wit;
There is no cure 'gainst age but it.
It helps the headache, cough, and tisic,
And is for all diseases physic.

Then let us swill, boys, for our health;
Who drinks well, loves the commmonwealth.
And he that will to bed go sober,
Falls with the leaf still in October.

John Fletcher
