hears music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source. He
finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a
headstone that reads "Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827". Then he realizes
that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backwards!

Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him.
By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time
it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played
backward.

Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the
expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backwards. The expert notices
that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were
composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.

By the next day the word has spread and a crowd has gathered around the
grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backwards.
Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group.

Someone in the group asks him if he has an explanation for the music.

"I would have thought it was obvious" the caretaker says.

"He's decomposing." ]]> Humour Sharla1 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1952 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1951&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:19:03 GMT Greetings from the Hamilton Beach Community Council to all our neighbours & friends from the beach strip.

Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car. Frantically I headed for the parking lot. My wife, Diane, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately call the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.

Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered. I always call her “honey” in times like these. “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”

There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s voice, “Ken,” she barked, “I dropped you off!”

Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”

Diane retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car!” ]]> Humour Sharla1 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1949 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1948&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:00:41 GMT Make sure you have locked up you house and cars doors, there have been reports of cars being broken into and items stolen such as GPS's.
If you see any anyone looking suspicious, call the police and report them.

I checked with the police today and there has been about ten reports of break-ins in our community. ]]> We Are Listening scotto http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1948 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1947&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:22:23 GMT Look what can be done with empty plastic bottles. http://wimp.com/lightenup/ Look what can be done with empty plastic bottles.

Hello Hamilton Beach Community. My name is Clare and Iwas born in Hamilton Ontario in the late fifties. I live on the beautiful small island of Anglesey in North Wales UK. i am planning to visit Canada in 2013/14 and decided to join your forum to get a feel for what the community where I was born is like today. Scott has told me I likely lived in the Burlington area as my parents have said we lived on the edge of Lake Ontario and that where we lived no longer exists as a bridge was built there. Both my parents are no longer with us and I have no extended family to ask about other information. As we get older I guess we often start to dwell on what our roots where and are and throughout my life I have always wanted to return to my birthplace. I have never had the means or opportunity until now so I am really looking forward to my visit.
So I will be dropping into this forum every now and then to get a feel for the real place and not just what the tourist industry wants to sell me! The little bit I have read tells me that wherever you live people seem to have the same concerns and interests whatever country they are from.
If any one is interested in North Wales, either because family members hail from here or ancestors came from N Wales I would be more than happy to tell them what I know .
I would like to get hold of a publication dealing with a potted history of Hamilton and would be grateful for any suggestions.Diolch Yn Fawr (Thank you very much) ]]> History Clare Seren http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1946 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1945&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:10:59 GMT Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Yuma, Arizona.

They turned a corner and see a sign that says, 'Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents'.

They look at each other, and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true.

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, Gentlemen?"

There seemed to be a fully-stocked bar, so each of the men ordered a martini.

In short order, the bartender serves up four iced martinis...shaken, not stirred, and says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."

The four men stare at the bartender for a moment. Then look at each other.

They can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.

Again, four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 cents, please."

They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They have each had two martinis and so far they have spent less than a dollar.

Finally one of the men says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece?"

"I'm a retired tailor from Phoenix," the bartender said, and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime...wine, liquor, beer, it's all the same."

"Wow!!!! That's quite a story," says one of the men.

The four of them sipped at their martinis and couldn't help but notice seven other people at the end of the bar who didn't have drinks in front of them, and hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were there.

One man gestures at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, "What's with them?"

The bartender says, "Oh, they're all old retired farts from Canada. They're waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half price." ]]> Humour Sharla1 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1945 http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1944&goto=newpost Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:28:33 GMT Attached are some VanWagner's Beach pics, some very old and some not so old.
