Three women--two younger, and one older--were sitting unclothed in a sauna.
Suddenly, there was a beeping sound. One of the young women pressed her forearm and the beeping stopped.
The others looked at her questioningly. "That was my pager," she said. "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."
A few minutes later, a phone rang. The second young women lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished, she explained, "that was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."
The older woman felt very low-tech. Not to be outdone, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the sauna and went to the restroom. She returned to the sauna with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end.
The others raised their eyebrows and stared at her.
The older woman finally said..."well, will you look at that! I'm getting a fax!"

Angels Who Soar: Celebrating Our Hardworking Employees
We are so proud of our wonderful, hard-working employees who go beyond the call of duty. Below is why our Angels are so special...
Johnny W. has been one of our outstanding Angels for nearly a year. In that time, he has been consistently reliable and dependable. He's also well-liked by our clients and other caregivers, too. Our office staff appreciates that Johnny is very willing to accommodate extra shifts and last-minute schedule changes.
Shamira B. is a friendly, outgoing Angel. Recently, a client commented that she had never had a happier caregiver than Shamira, that it was obvious that she enjoys her job. Shamira is flexible and always tries to accommodate the requests of the Care Management Team as well as those of our clients.
We are grateful for you and thank you for your hard work, Johnny and Shamira!
