ROYAL PAIN IN THE CROWN
One day, in merry ole England, a count was accused of
stealing the king's crown! The king's men knew he was
guilty and they tried and tried to make him confess, all to no
avail. Worse, despite their best efforts the stolen crown
could not be found.
Finally he was told, "We will chop off your head if you
don't tell us."
He would not confess so he was taken to
the chopping block, and told he would
have one more chance, but still
he remained silent.
As the executioner’s ax started down, the
count shouted, "All right, I'll tell you!"
However, it was too late...
his head went rolling to
the ground. Throughout
the kingdom a decree
went out. A great lesson, the king said, had
been learned that
would benefit everyone….
Don't hatchet your counts
before they chicken.

10 RULES FOR YOUR CAT
1. Do not eat the hamster. You may never eat
the hamster. Be at peace with that.
WHY ARE THERE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS IN HAWAII?
2. Do not slurp fish food from the aquarium
water.
3. Do not drink bath water while I am
in it. You fall in and then, wet,
run to the cat box. I pick up
clumped kitty litter from all
over the house for a week.
4. Do not put living things in the
bathtub ever. It is not a repository for late night snacks. Leave the bath tub alone. Bad
Kitty! Bad Kitty!
5. Do not run wildly across my prone sleeping body like the
devil himself is after you. Do it one more time and you
will think he is.
6. Do not try to jump through the window to get at a bird
just outside. The birds are taunting you. They know the
window is closed. You don’t. Birds are smarter. Be at
peace with THAT!
7. Do not compulsively check every single door in the
house. You are not a guard dog. You are a cat. Cats
sleep. A lot.
8. Do not play ‘dead cat on the stairs’ when we are bringing
in groceries or doing the laundry.
It is especially bad to give up that
game right when we are stepping
over you. Go ahead, play it.
You may get your wish.
9. Do not puff your entire body to
twice its size for no reason right
after I have just watched a horror
movie. It is impolite and scares me
witless. Bad Kitty!
10. Do not walk on my key board
when I am writing important

ART BY THE BOOK
Two cowboys went into the big city. As they walked down
the street they saw a large group of people going in to see a
new art exhibition at a impressionist gallery.
They decided to kill some time and went in to
see what could possibly be drawing such a
crowd. While wandering inside, one
of the paintings caught their eye.
“What,” said one of the pair, in a
loud voice, “is that?”
The artist, who was standing nearby, answered condescendingly. ''That, my dear sir, is supposed to be
a horse standing by a tree.''
"Well," said one cowboy, "Why isn't it?"

came back the entire area was missing.
LIVE SIMPLY.....LEAVE THE REST TO GOD
 I saw a sign at a gas station. It said 'help wanted'. There
was another sign below it that said 'self service'. So I
hired myself. Then I made myself the boss. I gave myself
a raise. I paid myself. Then I quit.
 I want to buy one of those strollers for
twins, put my only child in it and
then run around, looking frantic.
 I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere
near the place.
 I planted some bird seed. A bird
came up. Now I don't know what to
feed it.

¥ On Jan. 12, 1928, a young pianist

who stole the show.

One of the most critical areas of Identity Theft is Medical Patients seeking medical services under someone else’s name.
This is the second most common privacy or security issue reported by healthcare providers.
Medical identity Theft is the fastest growing form of Identity
Theft affecting 1.42 million Americans in 2010 and costing
more than 28 Million dollars.
Theft accounted for 66% of publicly reported security breaches, which included stolen laptops, stolen smart phones, using
patient data to submit fraudulent claims and seeking medical
care in another person’s name.
ONLY THE MEDIOCRE ARE ALWAYS AT THEIR BEST!
But the single most commonly reported breach in the security
of patient’s private health information was improper use of
patient data by a person who works for a Doctor’s office, hospital, insurance company or Life Science Organizations.
We will continue this discussion in the next issues.

¥ At one time in Alabama, it was illegal to wear a

¥ The English word "toast" to describe a piece of
browned bread comes from the Latin word "tostare,"
which means "roasted." The word "toast" to mean kind words
spoken while sharing wine also comes from the same root,
though in a roundabout way. In the Middle Ages, wine was not
always of the highest quality; as a gesture of goodwill and hospitality to guests, a piece of toast was sometimes added to improve the flavor. Eventually (as vintages improved, one might
assume), the browned bread was forgotten and only the words
remained.
