	Friday Fax A Weekly Summary of Polywater^® News of Incredible Importance

Issue #608

Dateline, Stillwater, MN, May 2010: David P. Schumacher (aka, "Dave") announces his retirement from American Polywater Corporation. Dave will conclude his productive 7-year stint with Polywater as Regional Sales Manager for the Central U.S. on May 31. Dave brackets his employment with the advent of better economic times, having joined the company in April of 2003 as the country rebounded strongly from the 911-inspired recession, and leaving the company as the country exits the latest recession--we hope! Dave will undoubtedly enjoy his extra free time with many new exciting travel destinations and leisurely golf games. As an avid Twins fan, he'll have more chances to see his favorite team play in their new stadium. A whole new world of freedom and exotic adventure awaits. The educational opportunities abound as he'll now be able to devote unlimited time to learning whatever his heart desires--although we expect that will include how Swiffers work and when not to wash laundry in hot water. Dave is a talented, professional, and likeable salesperson who contributed greatly to the growth and culture of Polywater. We have enjoyed his time here and will miss him a lot.

Tom Fredericks will handle the Central U.S. territory's business after May 31 until a replacement for Dave is hired. An active search is underway to fill Dave's position. Those are big shoes to fill.

Peggy Muniz of EBR, Inc in Dallas forwarded a series of photographs taken of the storm damage in Oklahoma on the 10th of May. This doesn't have a lot do with selling Polywater, but we thought we would share this picture of a 5-inch hunk of sky ice anyway. That is one "hailacious" hailstone! The other photos were equally impressive, including one of an impaled roof. That's when it's time to close the moon roof and park the motorcycle.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

Atheist in the Woods. An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he walked alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look and saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!" Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to cosmic accident. Do you really expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice. The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke: "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive, Amen."
