W EEKLY EDITION AUG 2, 2017 Joke of the Week A Hindu, a rabbi, and a politician are traveling to a conference in the middle of the coun try, requiring a long drive from the airport through rural land. Unfortunately, while in a rented car, and driving late into the night, the car breaks down and they're forced to ask for shelter at a nearby farmhouse. The farmer, understanding their plight , agrees to put them up, but he only has two twin beds in the upstairs bedroom and a cot in the barn. The Hindu offers to sleep in the barn. He picks up the farmer's bedroll and heads out to the barn. As the others prepare to turn in, there's a knock on t he door. It's the Hindu explaining he can't sleep in the barn. A cow is in the barn and is sacred to Hindus. So, quickly recognizing the situation, the Rabbi agrees to sleep in the barn. Five minutes later there's a knock on the door and it's the rabbi. He explains that there's a pig in the barn and it's simply not kosher. So the politician, disgusted, says, "Fine, I'll sleep in the barn," grabs the bedroll and heads out. Five minutes later there's a knock on the door ... it's the cow and the pig. Getting the Next Generation on Board PSAI Member Bahamas Waste has begun an impromptu "apprenticeship program" through their partnership with the Ro yal Bahamas Defense Force Rangers and the Commonwealth Youth Games. Bahamas Waste, an international PRO that handles more than a third of all waste produced in New Providence each year, used their sponsorship of the Commonwealth Youth Games to incorporat e a younger generation in a whole new way. While these games offer a wide range of sporting events for young athletes to compete in, Bahamas Waste offered 15 young Defense Force Rangers the chance to service the events as apprentices, offering hands - on exp erience in the mechanical and biodiesel fields. Working side by side with the Bahamas Waste team at all eight sporting events, "the Rangers were given first hand training on important health and safety procedures and provided with the necessary safety gea r as well." "It was really important for us as a company to get young people involved," explained Operations Manager Ethelyn Davis. "We really wanted them to see that while the avenues of Sports and Athleticism are important, they are not the only way to be successful." This partnership helps present an alternative career path to the young Defense Force Rangers and demonstrates the impact the portable sanitation industry has on all events, but especially on events held at an international level. "We… want to make sure we show the best of our island," said Davis, "and most importantly we want our guests to see it clean and pristine!"
