There was a pretty slim turnout at our book club meeting
this month. In retrospect, maybe we should’ve given it a little more thought
before we went and picked The Suicide Diaries.
Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon never did have any luck finding
the fabled “Fountain of Youth.” But I’m sure, when he got back home, he threw
on some Grecian Formula just to screw with his buddies.
I think Simon Le Bon should be ashamed of himself for
coming up with a name like “Duran Duran.” All he’s doing is making life
difficult for stutterers.
I
got on the bus the other day and sat down next to an old guy doing a crossword
puzzle. “Hey, Mack,” he said,
“this one’s got me stumped. What’s a five letter word for aquariums?” “Tanks,”
I said. The old guy just smiled at me and said, “You’re welcome!” I went and
found another seat.
My friend Karl is always
looking for ways to save money. One time, instead of buying his girlfriend an
engagement ring, he bought her a giant foam hand that said: “You’re Number
One!” I guess she wasn’t too thrilled about it. Karl spent that winter in the
hospital.
When I was a kid, we went
out camping with my Aunt Gertrude once. I remember it well because my aunt actually
died of spontaneous combustion. We were all pretty devastated at the time. That
is, until we realized Aunt Gertrude was a great way to get the fire started.
Dolphinsmay be one of the
mostintelligentcreatures in the world. But they still have a hard time trying to figure out
why Adrian Zmed got the hosting gig on Dance Fever.
I guess you heard all about the death of one-time Eight Is
Enough star Adam Rich. I wasn’t too broke up about it myself. I was just
disappointed it wasn’t Willie Ames.
