SHERIFF
Stuart Siegner extracted $186 for charity from the following perpetrators:
Mary Lee was fined $3 for the songs.
You got fined if you – were sitting at the same table for 10 years, watched, cheered during or ignored a UEFA soccer game, watched Wimbeldon, or the Tigers.
The sheriff then fined any Hillary supporters charging them for the cost of her “Get Out of Jail Free Card”. We then learned that the first parking meter was installed in 1935, Amazon opened in 1995, Mel Blanc died in 1984 and in 1999 EB White wrote Charlotte’s Web – Any ignorance of these critical facts cost you dearly.
Last the sheriff tested Bill Fox’s prowess with his version of High Anxiety:
Today’s HOLLYWOOD sign originally said? HOLLYWOODLAND
Who was the world’s tallest man? Robert Waldo @ 8’11”
Bill out foxed Stuart by feigning ignorance.
President Tom Neveau presented the Rochester Rotary Charities BOD:
President Jay Eastman, Cary Riggs, Buck Crossley, Rhonda Panczyk, Eric Whipple
