The
certification of the World Health Organization's Southeast Asia
region as
polio-free has led to many stories in the media
highlighting Rotary's
instrumental role in achieving this important milestone.
General Secretary John
Hewko joined Rotary member Devin Thorpe
last week in a live Forbes.com
interview to discuss how we will eradicate polio
in the three countries where
it still exists:
Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan

Drop Bears
the Prank is on Gordon
A witch doctor kept the members of
his tribe in subjugation
by means of his powerful magic
. Whenever one of the
tribe’s people tried to revolt against the tyrant,
he uttered a magic
incantation
and turned the person into an apple.
One night, a group of the witch
doctor’s subjects sneaked into his hut,
opened his book of magic and learned
the apple incantation.
When the doctor awoke
, the people recited the magic
phrases
and turned him into an apple.
But the magic book warned that if
the apple ever dried out
and changed significantly in weight,
it would change
back to the person under the spell.
Not wishing for the doctor’s revenge,
every
day the tribe’s people would place the apple
on a scale to make sure its weight
remained the same.
Moral: A weigh a day keeps the
doctor an apple
