Party Tip of the Week

You can rent anything and everything at a local prop or display house. If you don't have a large budget, check out renting pieces that go with your theme. Most deliver. If not, you can use a van or station wagon-there and back-and you have useful decorations that don't go in the trash when all is said and done!

Party Joke of the Week

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar. The pirate has a peg leg, a hook and an eye patch. "How'd you end up with a peg leg?" asks the sailor.

"I was swept overboard in a storm," says the pirate. "A shark bit off me whole leg."

"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about the hook?"

"We were boarding an enemy ship, battling the other sailors with swords. One of them cut me hand clean off."

"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "And the eye patch?"

"A seagull dropping fell in me eye," replied the pirate.

"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.

Said the pirate, "It was me first day with the hook."
