No Novacaine A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist. "I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want Novacaine because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way." The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?" The woman turned to her husband and said, "Show him your tooth, dear."

Things Not to Say on Your Valentine's Date 1. I really don't like this restaurant that much, but I wanted to use this 2-for-1 coupon before it expired. 2. People say I remind them of Eddie Haskell. 3. I used to come here all the time with my ex. 4. I never said you NEED a nose job. I just said it wouldn't hurt to consider it. 5. Could you excuse me? My cat gets lonely if he doesn't hear my voice on the answering machine every hour. 6. And I won that trophy in the inter-fraternity belching contest. 7. It's been tough, but I've come to accept that most people I date just won't be as smart as I am.

Dictionary of Dating DATING: The process of spending enormous amounts of money, time, and energy to get better acquainted with a person whom you don't especially like in the present and will learn to like a lot less in the future. EYE CONTACT: A method utilized by a single woman to communicate to a man that she is interested in him. Despite being advised to do so, many women have difficulty looking a man directly in the eyes, not necessarily due to the shyness, but usually due to the fact that a woman's eyes are not located in her chest. FRIEND: A member of the opposite sex who has some flaw which makes dating him/her totally unappealing. INDIFFERENCE A woman's feeling toward a man that is interpreted by the man as "playing hard to get." IRRITATING HABIT: What the endearing little qualities that initially attract two people to each other turn into after a few months together. LAW OF RELATIVITY: How attractive a given person appears to be is directly proportionate to how unattractive your date is.

There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying

attention and doing what one thereby

discovers has to be done.

- Aldous Leonard Huxley

National Flag of Canada Day, February 15 The national flag of Canada, which features a red maple leaf on a red and white background, was inaugurated on February 15, 1965. The anniversary of this date is offi-cially called the "National Flag of Canada Day", which is often shortened to "Flag Day". The Royal Union Flag, which is also the flag of the United Kingdom, was used as the offi-cial flag of Canada until 1965. Various designs of the Canadian Red Ensign were used between 1868 and 1965 but Canada’s Parliament never officially adopted them. The National Flag of Canada’s current design results from a period of discussion, debate and political maneuvering in the early 1960s. George F.G. Stanley designed the current flag, which is inspired by the Royal Military College of Canada’s flag. The multi-party parliamentary committee formed to select a new flag unanimously chose the design on October

29, 1964. The House of Commons passed the design on December 15, 1964. Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed the new flag on January 28, 1965, and it was inaugurated on February 15 in the same year.
