Three Things That A Justice Of The Peace Can Do For You
Three things that a justice of the peace can do for you:
1. Marry you.
2. Administer oaths.
3. Throw the book at you.
============================================
As a pun, the old R.B. Tullis Library, will soon be-
The new office building, for Judge James Metts, Precinct 4, of East Montgomery County.
.
.
Three reasons that the Justice of the Peace's office is moving to the old library building:
1. It was empty.
2. To avoid it being demolished.
3. The staff was overcrowded.
=============================================
Right next door-
With added room, and much more.
.
.
Three ways to clog up the traffic on a freeway:
1. Accident.
2. Construction.
3. Sinkhole.

A quick patch on the Denver freeway-
Will get the traffic moving again, just like yesterday.

Three Places To Enjoy The Fish
Three places to enjoy the fish:
1. Directly off Lake Conroe.
2. At a seafood eatery.
3. During Montgomery County Commissioner Precinct #4, Ed Rinehart's Appreciation Fish Fry.
==============================================
5:30 pm -7:30 pm, today, at A.V. "Bull" Sallas Park Showbarn,
in New Caney-
Tickets, $10 each, come join the food, music, and fun,
in East Montgomery County.
.
Three reasons that we appreciate Montgomery County Commissioner Precinct #4, Ed Rinehart:
1. He personally cares about East Montgomery County.
2. He takes a special interest in our senior citizens.
3. He takes care of the things that matter to the rest of us.
=============================================
Not just any long-term politician-
But one who cares as much today, as he did back then.
.
.
Three places to get low cost generic meds:
1. Wal-Mart.
2. H-E-B.
3. Kroger.
=============================================
And to think that in this, lowering the drug cost scenario, Blue Cross Blue Shield, can also fit-
As they are rolling out a financial incentive plan, that includes quarterly bonus payments, to doctors, who swith patients to generic meds, when appropriate.
