Good morning crew,

I'm heading off to pick up the wife's new coffee table this afternoon. Somehow I get saddled with this little project. It's a balmy 10 degrees and practically every outdoor surface is covered in a layer of near frictionless ice. Perfect conditions to be moving furniture around.

If you don't hear from me on Wednesday I'll most likely be in the hospital with a slipped or fractured something or other.

Laugh it up,

Joe

When our client's dog lapped up anti-freeze, the veterinarian I work for ordered a unique treatment: an IV drip mixing fluids with vodka. "Go buy the cheapest bottle you can find," he told me.

At the liquor store, I was uneasy buying cheap booze so early in the day, and I felt compelled to explain things to the clerk. "Believe it or not," I said, "this is for a sick dog."

As I was leaving, the next customer plunked down two bottles of muscatel and announced, "These are for my cats."

One friend complained to another, "All my husband and I do anymore is fight. I've been so upset, I've lost 20 pounds."

"If it's that bad, why don't you just leave him?" asked the second friend.

"I'm seriously considering it, but I'd like to lose another 15 pounds first."
