An important message from the club president

[Lund]

Heed the voice of experience...

[Lister Farrar]

Good advice. But what's John doing with raspberry jam on his face? When we say we're "Jammin" it usually means something else.

If it Bleeds, it Leads*

By Alan Cassels

“It’s safer this way,” waves our Prez with some gumption,
“Ash hill’s icy now,” his surefooted assumption.
The crosswalk, however, had a better complaint,
and whisked him down hard with its slippery, white paint.
Despite the fake blood, we hold John in esteem,
Showing us what it means to “take one for the team.”


*This is an expression from the world of journalism essentially saying the more sensationalistic a news item is, the more likely it attract readers and so more likely the editors will stick it on page one. The story doesn’t even have to be true and even fake blood can sell newspapers.

Does "if it bleeds, it leads" mean John has to do longer pulls during his recovery? Seems a bit cruel.

(Get better soon John ).
