Monday, October 24, 2011Good morning crew,
Welcome to a new week, folks, and only seven more days until Halloween! Although I am already pretty much Halloweened out. I went to a costume party Saturday night that filled my monthly quota of crazy. That included helping the host deep fry for his guests.
Now when you combine several gallons of boiling oil with the consumption of a volume of beer that a person could float in and you are going to have some adventures. But...it was nothing the police had to be called for.
So as I like to say, all's well that ends well, especially when there is no significant property damage.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***The phone rang. It was a salesman from a mortgage refinance company. "Do you have a second mortgage on your home?"
"No," I replied.
"Would you like to consolidate all your debts?"
"I really don't have any," I said.
"How about freeing up cash for home improvements?" he tried.
"I don't need any. I just recently had some done and paid cash," I parried.
There was a brief silence, and then he asked, "Are you looking for a husband?"
