In the Middle East they can rig a phone so that a signal from an airplane detonates the device and beheads the so-called "Engineer", the mastermind behind some of the bloodiest attacks in Israel's history. In Wainfleet, today is the sixth day in a row. I'm having to use my neighbour's phone to beg Bell Telephone to come out and get mine operating again. They can't give you a time and the . repairman hasn't yet showed up on the day he was supposed to, so what does Bell Repair do? They leave messages of apology on my Bell Answering Service which I don't get because -- here's the thing -- MY PHONE'S NOT WORKING! ! ! - I'd like to be able to message back "All my lines are dead right now, but your call is important to me." Personally, I think Bell Canada has spread itself too thin and should concentrate on the one thing it does well and consistently well -- rate hikes. How come, I ask myself. How come? And why, when you to to pay your bills, do all these - multi -national corporations send you a tiny little envelope that's one inch shorter than the cheque you're suppose to put in it? Huh? Why don't they take all that paper they're wasting on those annoying change -of - address flaps and make their envelopes bigger? But I suppose that if in the last twenty-five years, we haven't been able to convince food distributors to solve the 12 -hot -do s -in- k d 8 buns -in -a -bag mystery, there's not much hope of matching cheques to envelopes any time now. And when you try to endorse a cheque at the bank counter, who's behind the plot to prevent this from happening? Are the banks ordering special pens that won't work on cheques or is the paper industry treating the back of cheques with a signature resistant coating? The halting, half -inked signature on the back of most of my cheques looks more like a bank robber's note. And could those public toilet dispensers be made even tighter to turn or the - paper made even weaker so you'd never be able to get even one square outta those damn things? Don't give us new space- age, state-of-the-art claptrap. Give us stuff that works! And how come it now costs two cents to produce a penny? This is not a penny saved. This is bad math. Did you know that there are people who are allowed to drive cars and vote living in a place called Punkydoodles Corners, Ontario. Custom Officer: "And where's home? Punkydoodles Comers? Pull over, open your trunk, empty your purse and . don't make any sudden moves." And how come Canada sends observers to oversee elections in newly democratic countries, but nobody's investigating all the voting irregularities that went on during the last Quebec Referendum? And how come prostitution is illegal in this country, but Revenue Canada expects prostitutes to keep financial records and pay taxes on their earnings. (Couldn't they track this revenue by monitoring the spending records of the guys at Revenue Canada?) How the hell does my fax - machine know the exact date and time of every day when me and my watch don't." Why do they put those annoying little stickers on every piece of fruit you buy today? Let's draw the line at bananas before they target raisins next. And how come a handful of popcorn kernels that costs less than ten cents at the corner store is suddenly worth $4.50 at the cinema after they pop it and splash on some yellow liquid that tastes more like STP than butter? Answer that for me, will you? And wouldn't it be great to ha e a little remote control in your car so that when those discourteous drivers neglect to use their turn signals, leaving you sitting and guessing, you could just hit the po'ver button and explode their air bags? And why is somebody picking their nose the most disgusting thing you've ever seen, unless you're the one doing it." Seven Wonders of the World" Huh! There's gotta be at least 407 and kids ask everyone. Why do all these questions nag me half to death and why are they without answers? It's a conspiracy to drive me crazy, that's why. Oh yeah, they're out there plotting my mental demise. Why just last week they tried to poison me with the toxin strawberries. So I shut myself off from the outside world and the next day they said the lead in my blinds was going to kill me anyway. . I know I'm paranoid, but I also believe they really are out to get me. Do you know what to do if a twister touches down? The recent movie Twister has captured the attention of Canadians and serves as a good reminder of the incredi- ble devastation they can cause. Would you know what to do to protect yourself and your family in case a tornado strikes your community? Here are some "tornado tips" from- • Emergency Preparedness Canada and Environment Canada. . WHAT TO DO Before: . * Have an emergency kit on hand. Include items such as a flashlight, battery-operated radio, extra batteries, food and water, clothing, blankets, first aid kit and tools for emergency repair jobs. * Be prepared!

(the same rule applies to schools). Remember stay away .from windows and - don't use the elevators. * Don't get caught in a car or mobile home. More than 50% of all tornado deaths. occur in mobile homes. Take shelter elsewhere such as a building with 'a strong foun- dation.

They're more likely to collapse if struck by a tornado. if you're caught in one of these buildings, seek shelter under a sturdy struc- ture like a table. Don't take refuge in a parked car. If you are driving and spot a tornado, get out of the car and take cover in a low-lying area. Never try to drive to safety, as you can't outrun a tornado they're much too fast and they rarely move in a straight line. They weave back and forth and change direction suddenly. Watch for flying debris. Even small objects such as sticks and .straw can become lethal missiles when driven by a tornado's winds. If time permits, store garden furni- ture and.garbage cans in the basement. Telltale Signs: • - Tornadoes' precursors are warm humid weather and thunderstorms that develop when -the cool northern air masses collide with hot air flowing north from the Gulf of Mexico. Throw in a com- plicated pattern of updrafts and downdrafts in the atmos- phere and part of the base of the thunder cloud starts 'to rotate. A tornado is born. Watch out for these tornado warning signs: Severe thunderstorms with frequent thunder and light- ning. Sky becomes extremely dark; sometimes with green or yellow clouds. A rumbling sound like a freight train or a whistling sound like a jet plane. A funnel cloud at the rear base of the thunder cloud, often behind a curtain of heavy rain or hail. A calm before the storm. Winds may die down and the air may become very still. Did you know that... Did you know? May to Septe•mbcr are prime tornado months, with the peak season 911 June and early July. The afternoon and early evening arc the peak times for tornadoes. In Canada, during an aver- age year, 80 tornadoes cause two deaths and 20 injuries plus tens of millions of dol- lars in property damage. These are the reported num- hers. Nobody knows for sure how many more tornadoes strike unpopulated areas, undetected, with no reports of damage. Canada's "tornado alleys" arc southern Ontario, Alberta, southwestern Quebec and 'a band stretching from south- ern Saskatchewan and Manitoba through to Thunder Bay. The interior of British Columbia and western New Brunswick are also tornado zones.
