THE DAILY GROANER - October 15, 2014

Good Morning Groanies,

Here are a few things I was thinking about...

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what do you have to eat to keep the dentist away?

Why does everything taste like chicken?

What do the French call French Toast, French Bread, and French Fries in France?

What be a pirate's favorite letter? You think it be "R" but it be the "C" they love!

And here's a joke from reader Jeff B. Q: What do u call Halloween bees? A: boo bees! That's hilarious!!!

Groaningly yours,
Steve

*-- Reader Comments --*
I simply cringe when I hear THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT every school choir seems to perform this, and the radio stations play it frequently....too frequently --Annie
[I can see how that would get you to cringe.]

I hate that song too! I also hate Bruce Springsteen. So what's the ultimate in an assault to my ears? When Bruce Springsteen "sings" (and I use that term loosely!!!) Blinded By the Light!!! Doubly awful!!! I feel so much better now having gotten that off my chest! Thanks! --Cori
[Springsteen is the worst. He sings like he has to go to the bathroom, but he can't leave the recording studio. Now when you hear him that's all you can picture.]

Steve; "Blinded By The Light" was originally a Bruce Springsteen song from Asbury Park album but covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band and contains one of the most annoying misunderstood lyrics of all time. When the lead singer sings "revved up like a deuce" (referring to a sports coupe muscle car) it sounds like he's singing "wrapped up like a douche." Personally I find the lyrics to Steve Miller's "The Joker" to be extremely annoying. --R.S.R
[That song is a bag of douche. And, hey, don't be talking bad about the Space Cowboy.]

Almost anything by Led Zeppelin. Quickest way to get me to change stations...and the morning, all 3 of the stations I bounce around in the mornings were playing Stairway to Heaven. --Marty
[That's cold, man. I'm a big Zeppelin fan, but I'll agree, Stairway is way overrated and gets player way too much.]
