Good morning crew,

I looks like it's going to be one of those weekends. I have to help with promotion testing at the taekwondo school Saturday morning/afternoon, and then this Sunday is my neighborhood's annual Caribbean Block Party, featuring all of the culture and cuisine of the Islands, including Miller Lite, hamburgers and Polish sausage.

Laugh it up,

Joe

By bracing their arms and legs against the walls, two of them had climbed up to the ceiling. "The baby-sitter taught us how," they said gleefully.

The sitter joined me, her face a deep red. "Since they had me climbing the walls, I figured they might as well be too," she stammered.

My uncle was giving me the grand tour of his house. The bathrooms had excessively mirrored walls but his wife preferred not to look at herself in such a compromising position. She even went so far as to place a "modesty plant" so that it obscured the view.

Now I don't think there is anything wrong with mirrored walls in the bathroom. I told my uncle: "You should be able to sit and reflect"
