Good morning crew,

So, the big adventure this weekend was Pierogi Fest. It was fun, for what it was worth. Pierogis are really not the ideal street food. However, we had as much fun as a person can have standing around in a crowd of drunk people eating soggy Polish dumplings and drinking flat beer at 4 bucks a cup.

We did try some other things; Polish sausages, alligator bites, chocolate-covered bacon (which I don't really recommend) and, of course, more beer. The one pleasant surprise we did have was coming across a vendor selling Cevapis. These are delicious little sausages that come from Bosnia, Serbia and some of those other southeastern European countries that used to be Yugoslavia.

I haven't had them since we visited the Beograd Cafe downtown a couple of years ago. They were so delicious, in fact, that I had two plates. Even the wife enjoyed them better than the pierogis, which is something for a woman whose dietary staple is pasta.

And to top the whole thing off the entire day didn't cost me a cent, but I will tell you how I pulled that trick off tomorrow.

Laugh it up,

Joe

A husband and wife were involved in a petty argument, both of them unwilling to admit they might be in error.

"I'll admit I'm wrong," the wife told her husband in a con- ciliatory attempt, "if you'll admit I'm right."

He agreed and, like a gentleman, insisted she go first.

"I'm wrong," she said.

With a twinkle in his eye, he responded, "You're right!"


*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*
A preacher of the old school was describing the events of Judgment Day and, of course, he used Biblical phraseology whenever he could.

"Oh, my friends," he intoned, "imagine the suffering of the sinners as they find themselves cast into the outer darkness, removed from the presence of the Lord and given to eternal flames. My friends, at such a time there will be weeping, wailing and a great gnashing of teeth!"

At this point, one of the elders of the congregation interrupted to say, "But Reverend, what if one of those hopeless sinners has no teeth?"

The preacher crashed his fist on the pulpit, "My friends, the Lord is not put out by details. Rest assured... teeth will be provided!"
