THE IMPORTANCE OF USING CORRECT E-MAIL ADDRESSES
A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to
thaw out during one particularly icy winter.
Because both had jobs, they had difficulty coordinating their travel
schedules.
It was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday,
and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the
husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and
send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally
left off one letter in her
address, and sent the e-mail without realizing
his error. In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's
funeral.
He was a minister of many years who had been 'called home to glory'
following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message,
she fainted and fell to thefloor. The widow's son rushed into the room,
found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
> To: My Loving Wife
> From: Your Departed Husband
> Subject: I've Arrived!
>
> I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see
> that everything has been prepared for your
arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
>
> P.S. Sure is hot down here!

Stick it in your ear
Morris is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker, Joe, is
wearing an earring. This man knows his co-worker to be a normally
conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion
sense."
"Hey Joe, he yells out - I didn't know you were into earrings."
"Don't make such a big deal out of it,...it's only an earring." Says Joe
sheepishly.
"No really," probes Morris, "How long have you been wearing one?"
"Ever since my wife, Becky, found it in our bed."

Here is a little humor.
A man moves into a nudist colony. He receives a
letter
from his
grandmother asking him to send her a current photo
of
himself in his new
location.
Too embarrassed to let her know that he lives in a
nudist colony, he
cuts a photo in half but accidentally sends the
bottom
half of the
photo.
He is really worried when he realizes that he sent
the
wrong half, but
then remembers how bad his grandmother's eyesight
is,
and hopes she
won't notice.
A few weeks later he receives a letter from his
grandmother. It says,
"Thank you for the picture. Change your hair
style....
it makes your
nose look too short."

The government announced today that it is changing its emblem to a condom because it more clearly reflects the government's political stance.
A condom stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch
of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.
Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that!

A Gracie Argument
First I should tell you who Gracie is. Ever heard of "George Burns and Gracie Allan"? They were a couple that were in entertainment, first in Vaudeville. And she would get things just turned around a little, see:
Last year I replaced several windows in my house and they were the expensive double-pane energy efficient kind.
But this week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work has been completed for a
whole year and I had yet to pay for them.
Boy oh boy did we go 'round.
Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.
So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year. . that in one year the windows would pay for themselves.
There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up and I haven't heard back.
Guess I must have won that silly argument

PLEASE read this review of the movie The Passion of the Christ
PLEASE read this review of the movie The Passion of the Christ, Plan to attend the opening week end Feb 25 through 28 so we can impact the numbers to show this as the # 1 box office hit for that week end. Take every one you know and help make a difference. May God bless you as you serve HIM. The Passion as viewed by Jody Dean CBS Anchor in Dallas.
There've been a ton of emails and forwards floating around recently from those who've had the privilege of seeing Mel Gibson's "The Passion Of The Christ" prior to its actual release. I thought I'd give you my reaction after seeing it last night.
The screening was on the first night of "Elevate!", a weekend-long seminar for young people at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. There were about 2,000 people there, and the movie was shown after several speakers had taken the podium. It started around 9 and finished around 11...so I reckon the film is about two hours in length. Frankly, I lost complete track of
time - so I can't be sure.
I want you to know that I started in broadcasting when I was 13-years-old. I've been in the business of writing, performing,
production, and broadcasting for a long time. I've been a part of movies, radio, television, stage and other productions - so I know how things are done. I know about soundtracks and special effects and make-up and screenplays. I think I've seen just about every kind of movie or TV show ever made - from extremely inspirational to extremely gory. I read a lot, too - and have
covered stories and scenes that still make me wince. I also have a vivid imagination, and have the ability to picture things as they must have happened - or to anticipate things as they will be portrayed. I've also seen an enormous amount of footage from Gibson's film, so I thought I knew what was coming.
But there is nothing in my existence - nothing I could have read, seen, heard, thought, or known - that could have prepared me for what I saw on screen last night.
This is not a movie that anyone will "like". I don't think it's a movie anyone will "love". It certainly doesn't "entertain". There isn't even the sense that one has just watched a movie. What it is, is an experience - on a level of primary emotion that is scarcely comprehensible. Every shred of human preconception or predisposition is utterly stripped away. No one will
eat popcorn during this film. Some may not eat for days after they've seen it. Quite honestly, I wanted to vomit. It hits that hard.
I can see why some people are worried about how the film portrays the Jews. They should be worried. No, it's not anti-Semitic. What it is, is entirely shattering. There are no "winners". No one comes off looking "good" - except Jesus. Even His own mother hesitates. As depicted, the Jewish leaders of Jesus' day merely do what any of us would have done - and
still do. They protected their perceived "place" - their sense of safety and security, and the satisfaction of their own "rightness". But everyone falters. Caiphus judges. Peter denies. Judas betrays. Simon the Cyrene balks. Mark runs away. Pila te equivocates. The crowd mocks. The soldiers laugh. Longinus still stabs with his pilus. The centurion still carries
out his orders! . And as Jesus fixes them all with a glance, they still turn away. The Jews, the Romans, Jesus' friends - they all fall. Everyone, except the Principal Figure. Heaven sheds a single, mighty tear - and as blood and water spew from His side, the complacency of all creation is eternally shattered.
The film grabs you in the first five seconds, and never lets go. The brutality, humiliation, and gore is almost inconceivable - and still probably doesn't go far enough. The scourging alone seems to never end, and you cringe at the sound and splatter of every blow - no matter how steely your nerves. Even those who have known combat or prison will have trouble, no matter their experience - because this Man was not conscripted. He went willingly, laying down His entirety for all. It is one thing for a
soldier to die for his countrymen . It's something else entirely to think of even a common man dying for those who hate and wish to kill him. But this is no common man. This is the King of the Universe. The idea that anyone could or would have gone through such punishment is unthinkable - but this Man was completely innocent, completely holy - and paying the price for others. He screams as He is laid upon the cross, "Father, they don't know. They don't know..."
What Gibson has done is to use all of his considerable skill to portray the most dramatic moment of the most dramatic events since the dawn of time. There is no escape. It's a punch to the gut that puts you on the canvas, and you don't get up. You are simply confronted by the horror of what was done - what had to be done - and why. Throughout the entire film, I found
myself apologizing.
What you've heard about how audiences have reacted is true. There was no sound after the film's conclusion. No noise at all. No one got up. No one moved. The only sound one could hear was sobbing. In all my years of public life, I have never heard anything like that.
I told many of you that Gibson had reportedly re-shot the ending to include more "hope" through the Resurrection? That's not true. The Resurrection scene is perhaps the shortest in the entire movie - and yet it packs a punch that can't be quantified. It is perfect. There is no way to negotiate the meaning out of it. It simply asks, "Now, what will you do?"
I'll leave the details to you, in the hope that you will see the film - but one thing above all stands out, and I have to tell you about it. It comes from the end of Jesus' temptations in the wilderness - where the Bible says Satan left him "until a more opportune time". I imagine Satan never quit tempting Christ, but this film captures beyond words the most opportune time. At every step of the way, Satan is there at Jesus' side - imploring Him to quit, reasoning with Him to give up, and seducing Him to surrender. For the first time, one gets an heart-stopping idea of the sense of madness that must have enveloped Jesus - a sense of the evil that was at His very elbow. The physical punishment is relentless - but it's the sense of psychological torture that is most overwhelming. He should have quit. He should have opened His mouth. He should have called 10,000 angels. No
one would have blamed Him. What we deserve is obvious. But He couldn't do that. He wouldn't do that. He didn't do that. He doesn't do that. It was not and is not His character. He was obedient, all the way to the cross - and you feel the real meaning of that phrase in a place the human heart usually doesn't dare to go. You understand that we are called to that same level
of obedience. With Jesus' humanity so irresistibly on display, you understand that we have no excuse. There is no place to hide.
The truth is this: Is it just a "movie"? In a way, yes. But it goes far beyond that, in a fashion I've never felt - in any forum. We may think we "know". We know nothing. We've gone 2,000 years - used to the idea of a pleasant story, and a sanitized Christ. We expect the ending, because we've heard it so many times. God forgive us. This film tears that all away. It's
as close as any of us will ever get to knowing, until we fully know. Paul understood. "Be urgent, in and out of season."
Luke wrote that Jesus reveals Himself in the breaking of the bread. Exactly. "The Passion Of The Christ" shows that Bread being broken.
Go see this movie.

COWBOY LOGIC vs. SIERRA CLUB LOGIC
There is no arguing with this cowboy logic. A few years go, the Sierra
Club and the U.S. Forest Service was presenting an alternative to
Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population.
It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true
methods of shooting and/or trapping the predator, the tree-huggers had a
more humane solution". What they proposed, was for the animals to be
captured alive, the males castrated and let loose again. The population
would be controlled. This was ACTUALLY proposed to the Wyoming Wool and
Sheep Grower's Association by the Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest
Service. All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a
couple of minutes.
Finally, an old boy in the back stood up, tipped his hat back and said,
Son, I don't think you understand the problem. Those coyotes ain't
screwin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em".
WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)
Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her own. They like other people's.
A grandfather is a man grandmother.
Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters for us.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also Why we shouldn't step on "cracks."
They don't say, "Hurry up."
Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.
They wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums out.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
They have to answer questions like "why isn't God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?".
When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television, because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with us.
They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers with us every time, and kiss us even when we've acted bad.
Pass this along to another Grandparents. It will make their day.
A 6 YEAR OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA LIVED. ''OH,'' HE SAID, ''SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT, AND WHEN WE WANT HER WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE HAVING HER VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.''

Marketing
- People often ask for an explanation of
"Marketing." Well, here it is:
You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a
party. You go up to him and
say, "I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Direct Marketing.
You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a
handsome guy. One of
your friends goes up to him and pointing at you
says, "She's fantastic in
bed."
That's Advertising.
You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him
and get his telephone
number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm
fantastic in bed."
That's Telemarketing.
You see a guy at a party, you straighten your
dress. You walk up to him and
pour him a drink. You say, "May I," and reach up to
straighten his tie,
brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and
then say, "By the way, I'm
fantastic in bed."
That's Public Relations.
You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks
up to you and says, I
hear you're fantastic in bed,"
That's Brand Recognition.
You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He
fancies you, but you talk him
into going home with your friend.
That's a Sales Rep.
Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.
That's Tech Support.

Potentially or Realistically?
Little Johnny went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what is the
difference between potentially and realistically?"
The father thought for a moment, then answered, "Go ask your mother if
she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then ask your
sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and ask your
brother if he'd sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars. Come back
and tell me what you learn from that."
So Johnny went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Robert
Redford for a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Of course I would! We
could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great
college!"
Johnny then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad
Pitt for a million dollars?" The girl replied, "Oh my God! I LOVE Brad
Pitt! I would sleep with him in a heartbeat, are you nuts?!?!?"
Johnny then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Tom
Cruise for a million dollars?" "Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know
how much a million could buy?"
Johnny pondered this for a few days, then went back to his dad. His
father asked him, "Did you find out the difference between potentially and
realistically?"
Johnny replied, "Yes, sir. Potentially, we're sitting on three million
dollars, but realistically, we're living with two sluts and a queer."
For the woman...
When Reality sets in: Thought you Gals might like this (smile)
1. Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
2. Don't let anyone tell you you're getting old. Squash their toes with your rocker.
3. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
4. Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
5. Maturity means being emotionally and initially healthy. It is that time when you know when to say yes and when to say no, and when to say
WHOOPEE!
6. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
7. When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
8. You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
9. I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
10. The golden years are really just metallic years, gold in the tooth, silver in your hair, and lead in the rear.
11. Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.
12. One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. One must wait until evening to see how
splendid the day has been.
13. Age seldom arrives smoothly or quickly. It is more often a succession of jerks.
14. Yeah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
15. Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled, and blind they don't recognize you.
16. If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
17. First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull your zipper up, then you forget to pull your zipper down.

>"Normally, yes. But you have an HMO and they won't pay for these expensive

Four guys from LakeAasgaard went up to Northern Minnesota fishing.
To save a little money, they rented a small cabin
that had only two
bedrooms.
Well, Arne sleeps with Ole the first night and he
come to breakfast next

bloodshot. They say, "Vat

loud, I was kept
avake vatching him all night. I can't do that
'nother night so vun of you's

Since Ole snores so loudly, no one else wanted to
room with him, but
they finally agree to take turns.

standing up, eyes all blood shot. Oscar declares,
"Fer sure, dat Ole
shakes the roof. And he sleeps so hard, I couldn't

Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it
on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Real Women:
Take a lime and well chilled tequila, mix and drink. You
might still have the headache, but who cares?

A Moaner
A young Native American woman went to a doctor for her first 'ever physical exam.
After checking all of her vitals and running the usual tests, the doctor
said, "Well, Running Doe, you are in fine health.
I could find no problems. I did notice one anomaly, however."
"Oh, what is that, Doctor?"
"Well, you have no nipples."
"None of the people in my tribe have nipples," she replied.
"That is amazing," said the doctor. "I'd like to write this up for The
South Carolina Journal of Medicine if you don't mind."
She said, "OK."
"First of all" asked the doctor, "how many people are in your tribe?"
She answered, "Approximately 500."
"And what is the name of your tribe?" asked the doctor.
Running Doe replied, "We're called... "
(I hate to do this to you, the hell I do)

A Moaner
Two robins were sitting in a tree.
"I'm really hungry," said the first one. "Let's fly down and find some lunch."
They flew down to the ground and found a nice plot of newly plowed ground
that was full of worms. They ate and ate and ate till they could eat no
more.
"I m so full, I don't think I can fly back up into the tree," said the first
one.
"Let's just lay back here and bask in the warm sun," said the second.
"OK," said the first.
So they plopped down, basking in the sun. No sooner than they had fallen
asleep, when a big fat tomcat up and gobbled them up.
As the cat sat washing his face after his meal,
he thought...

Humor
The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced Peek-A-Boo) is not just an athlete, she is a nurse currently working at the Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is not permitted to answer the telephone, however, as it caused simply too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say,

Picabo, ICU.

KIDS IN CHURCH
A little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if you
can't make me a better
boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good
time like I am."
===============================
A. Sunday school class was studying the Ten
Commandments. They were ready to
discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone
could tell her what it
was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted,
"Thou shall not take
the covers off the neighbor's wife."
===============================
After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the
way home in the back seat of the car. His father
asked him three times what
was wrong. Finally, the boy replied,
"That preacher said he wanted us
brought up in a Christian home, and
I wanted to stay with you guys."
=================================
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter,
Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer
for several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat
after me the lines from
the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo.
I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated
each word right up to the end of the prayer:
"Lead us not into temptation,"
she prayed,
"but deliver
us some E-mail.
Amen."
and one particular four-year-old prayed,
"And
forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
====================================
A Sunday school teacher asked her children, as they
were on the way to
church service, "And why is it necessary to be
quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied,
"Because people are
sleeping."
===========================
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel
were sitting together
in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud.
Finally, his big sister had had enough. You're not supposed to
talk
out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel
asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said,
"See those two men
standing by the door?
They're hushers."
============================
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin,
5, Ryan 3. The boys
began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the
opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were
sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'"
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
"Ryan, you be Jesus!"
========================
A father was at the beach with his children when the
four- year-old son ran
up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay
dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to him?" the
son asked.
"He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said,
"Did God
throw him back down?"
==============
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table,
she turned to their
six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to
say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife
answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
"Lord, why on
earth did I invite all
these people to dinner?"

CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY
ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659---
A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused.
When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The judge asked the man about 20 years old)
what he had to say for himself.
The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this:
When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition.
She sat under a sweets sign that said, "The Double Mint Twins are Coming" and I grinned.
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, "Logan's Liniment
will reduce the swelling", and I had to smile.
Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself.
BUT, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident"... I just lost it."
CASE DISMISSED!!!"

I know you'll agree with me on this
This is common sense to most of us. Life would be so simple if we just keep our priorities straight!
A Professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items
in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very
large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf
balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it
was.
So the Professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the
open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the
jar was full. They agreed it was. The Professor next picked up a box
of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up
everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous
"Yes." The Professor then produced two cans of beer from under the
table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling
the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now", said the Professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you
to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - your family, your
children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions - things
that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life
would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your
house, your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first", he continued, "there
is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for
life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
you will never have room for the things that are important to
you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner.
Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and
fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that
really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." When he had
finished, there was a profound silence.
Then one of the students raised her hand and with a puzzled _expression, inquired what the
beer represented. The Professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It
just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of beers."

A cluster of Yuks
A man goes into the doctor. He says "Doc, you gotta check my leg. Something's wrong. Just put your ear up to my thigh, you'll hear it!"
The doctor cautiously placed his ear to the man's thigh only to hear "Gimme 20 bucks, I really need 20 bucks."
"I've never seen or heard anything like this before, how long has this been going on." The doctor asked.
"That's nothing Doc. put your ear to my knee."
The doctor put his ear to the man's knee and heard it say "Man, I really need 10 dollars, just lend me 10 bucks!!"
"Sir, I really don't know what to tell you. I've never seen anything like this." The doctor was dumbfounded.
"Wait Doc. that's not it. There's more, just put your ear up to my ankle." The man urged him.
The doctor did as the man said and was blown away to hear his ankle plead, "Please, I just need 5 dollars. Lend me 5 buck please if you will."
"I have no idea what to tell you," the doctor said. "There's nothing in about it in my books!" he said as he frantically searched all his medical reference books.
"I can make a well educated guess though. Based on life and all my previous experience I can tell you that your leg seems to be broke in three places."

*In the Bag
*
I had an offer from a large company and they offered to fly me out to the meeting on business class. During the return flight we were given gourmet brownies and cookies. Not hungry, I decided to save them for later, so I placed them in an airsickness courtesy bag.
After the plane landed I got up to leave and a stewardess approached me. She asked, "Sir, would you like for me to dispose of that for you?"
I said, "No thanks, I'm saving it for my kids."
==========
*Strangest Recording*
I got the strangest recording when I called the phone company the other
day.
It said, "You have been connected to the correct department on the first
try. This is against company policy. Please hang up and redial."
==========
*Ironic Call*
One day an employee came into work with both of his ears bandaged. His
boss asked him what happened to his ears.
"Yesterday I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang and I accidentally
answered the iron instead of the phone!"
"Well," the boss said, "that explains one ear, but what about the other?"
"They called back!"

*Bell Pun
*Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. However, all the league records were unfortunately destroyed in a fire.
Thus we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.
