Just Say No....

"Just Say No"
October 11, 1983
The phrase "Just Say No" first emerged on October 11, 1982 when Nancy Reagan was visiting Longfellow Elementary School in Oakland, California. When asked by a schoolgirl what to do if she was offered drugs, she responded: "Just say no." This is another URBAN MYTH!. The phrase “just say no” did not originate with Nancy Reagan. Since the beginning of time, when a girl is about to go out on a date, Mothers have been telling their daughters to "just say no!". I know this from personal experience.... in my youth, I was told "NO!" countless times..... which made me wonder why the human race didn’t become extinct

Unbeknowst to Sir George Williams, one his great great grandsons would grow up to be a Cop, another would be an Indian, and the others would be a G.I., a biker, a construction worker and a cowboy. Later, the six great great grandsons would create a travel agency catering to young men...
"Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA"
