Fine Master Bob Harbicht began by recognizing Jim Pontello, in honor of his mother who will tun 100 this September! The good genes cost him $100.

it was noted that Mike Ojeda had no badge; seems he forgot to take it off and wore it home, then left it on the dresser, so he actually forgot it twice in one week. Bob encouraged him to jog his memory with a note, a string around the finger, or better yet, hang his check book around his neck. The memory lapse cost him $25.

Ash Rizk admitted under questioning that he was taking his “old” ’66 Mercedes convertible to Carcadia on Sunday morning. Such an old car shouldn’t cost him that much, right? When asked if he wanted to talk about how he had fixed it up, Ash said “not really”, but went on to confess that he had replaced a perfectly good top because it was the wrong color and had all the upholstery redone at the MB classic center, in a pricey effort to restore it to its original perfection. Bob was going to take pity, but in recognition of all of Ash’s real estate listings, charged him $100.

Bob next conducted a quiz with five contestants; each was asked to identify something about a famous person and then collectively all were asked what the 5 famous people all had in common.
Tom Miles correctly identified JFK as a US President.
Francine Chiu whispered (because she is so shy) that Neil Armstrong was an astronaut.
Ash Rizk linked Orville Wright to popcorn, then cars, and finally airplanes.
Dirk Hudson identified Prince Charles as an English royal.
And Steve Fong connected Col. Sanders to ….. chicken!
Tom Miles was the first to connect them all as Rotarians, saving himself a fine; everyone else was fined $50 each.

Matt Weaver’s recent absence was noted, and he acknowledged he might have been in San Clemente and that he was going to see Bob Margett’s kid next week. He was offered the option to confess for $50 or be outed for $100 and opted for the latter; however bob took pity and only fined him $50 for being busy.
