Good morning crew,

How do I get talked into this stuff? Actually, I know exactly how I got talked into this stuff...I opened my big, fat mouth.

You see, recently the boss made a one-time purchase of a bunch of Marvel Comics merchandise. All sorts of collectible stuff like Incredible Hulk laser cells and Spider-Man key chains and whole distributor boxes of Iron Man trading cards.

Where she got it all I have no idea, but a couple weeks ago this big stack of boxes got delivered to the office and she asked everyone, 'Who's a Marvel fan?'

Like idiots Steve and I jumped up, hoping to score a few freebies, and she immediately button-holed us and told us we were going to shoot a promotional video...whether we liked it or not.

That's how I ended up on video wearing a 75-cent, cardboard Spider-Man mask. At least I got out of it better than old Steve. You'll have to watch the video clip to see what I'm talking about.

See your friendly neighborhood Spider-Joe Here

Laugh it up,

Joe

While my wife and I were shopping at a mall, a shapely young woman in a short, form-fitting dress strolled by. My eyes involuntarily followed her.

Without looking up from the item she was examining, my wife asked, "Was that worth the trouble you're in?"

I was shopping with my roommate, and I saw a humorous button that said, "It might look like I'm doing nothing, but on a cellular level, I'm quite busy."

I showed it to her, and her response was, "Oh, I should buy that one, I'm always talking on mine."
