Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.

It is with heavy heart we bring you this news......
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday ... of
yeast infection and complications, from repeated
pokes to the belly. He was 71 .
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their
respects, including Mrs. Butterworth , Hungry Jack ,
the California Raisins , Betty Crocker , and Captain
Crunch.
The grave site was piled high with flours. { note sp. }
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described
Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was
kneaded { note sp. }
Doughboy rose quickly in show business , but his
later life was filled with turnovers .
He was not considered a very smart cookie , wasting
much of his dough on half-baked schemes . Despite
being a little flaky at times , he still , as a crusty old man ,
was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife , Play Dough , and
two children , John and Jane , and they have one in the
oven ....He is survived also by his father , Pop Tart .
The funeral was held at 3:50 for About 20 minutes ...

A Real Man
A real man is a woman's best friend. He will
never stand her up and never let her down.
He will reassure her when she feels insecure
and comfort her after a bad day.
He will inspire her to do things she never
thought she could do; to live without fear
and forget regret. He will enable her to
express her deepest emotions and give in to
her most intimate desires. He will make sure
she always feels as though she's the most
beautiful woman in the room and will enable
her to be the most confident, sexy,
seductive, and invincible.
No wait... sorry... I'm thinking of wine.
Never mind.

I never knew this.
Penguins Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins
on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go ?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic
bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will
mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of
compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other
members of the family and social circle have been
known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial
wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for
the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle
around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow"
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Then they kick him in the ice hole."
You really didn't believe that I know
anything about penguins, did you!

Good morning everyboomie.
I had a good weekend. Got a lot done, and was happy with that, but as always I wished I'd had more time.
I still think I have about 3 days to get those stupid cabinets all painted.
The 2:00 appointment yesterday cancelled out.
No problem. There's still too much to be done.
I have two 5:00 openers Monday & Tuesday, so I won't be getting much done today. Maybe tomorrow evening.
I have more things to do tonight before bedtime, so I've gotta go.
Have a ridiculously happy day everyone.
