Bryna = Hilarious!

Alright... so I've made a few good jokes lately... I thought you (my adventurous readers) might (well, you probably wont, but no one else who cares is around to listen, and seeing as how this is an e-post, you wont get the chance to hear me botch the delivery, and laugh uncontrollably...) think this is funny, like I do!

original joke:
where do cousins come from? ant holes (aunt!)

HILARIOUS Addition:
where do donkeys come from?

Ok, so the other one isnt so much a joke, but I still think its so funny. Part of my job is to take invoices for services that other companies provide for us. So, turns out that we hired another company to suck the gravel out of a couple of manholes. So, I have to summarize their services and enter it into the computer. So, I entered it as "manhole service" and furthermore I entered it as "sucked manholes clean of gravel!"

Now, upon reading this again, I think that perhaps my sense of humor has been perversed by hanging out with many boys who enjoy crossing the line and gay comments. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Anyways I can't wait to hear what my boss says, or if he even notices my hilarity when he is checking over my work later today.

Tell me what you think! Do you think I have a chance in the world comedy circuit?

General Update!

Well, I suppose it is just about time to update. But where do I begin.

Do I write about the excellent and informative 'Young Lions Camp' (karate camp) that I just returned from? Or perhaps I should shout to the world what an excellent Canada day weekend I had. Maybe I should mention to my loyal readers about my job 'motion (I'm not sure I could call it a promotion as my job now is many more hours and lots more stress...). Or perhaps and more likely, I could give a bit of an update about Halifax.

Megan, Grace, Emma and I (Grace and Emma, I do not yet know) have rented the upstairs of a house a bit of a walk from downtown Halifax and Dalhousie. I am told it is a good location, and close to many pubs and coffee shops (all that a University student really needs!). So, recently Megan received an email from our Landlord requesting that we all send predated, signed and made out cheques for care-free money making on his end. We already paid for the first months rent a couple of months ago, hence the part in the middle about his appreciation. He recently sent this email to us as follows;

"That is fine to each send me cheques. I would appreciate if you all sent them right away so I can give them to my bookeeper for set up.

I would appreciate that favour.

I do record in detail but this time I cannot find the record of the total amount you paid for the first months rent. I appreciate that it was not the full amount. I would appreciate if you would please advise me by email right away as to the total amount you did pay me and you can please send me a cheque for the difference when you send in your other cheques.

Emma, maybe you recall the total amount you gave me as well and could advise. I look forward to receiving your cheques in the amount of $1740/4 = $435.00 plus your damage deposits of half a months rent divided by 4 which equals $217.50 each. Those cheques have to be dated September first. I look forward to hearing from you about the amount owing on the first months rent and receiving the post dated cheques. John"

If anyone can understand what he is talking about, I will definetely hold you in high regard and make you one of those little paper hats with foam cut-outs of cows and cats that I will steal in a daring escapade from my 6 year old sibling.

I shall update soon, and send pictures from my most recent adventurs. Keep in touch!

PS- Yah for Schuyler becoming an Uncle!
