MOUTHPIECE - October 4, 2016

Good Afternoon,

It's October! Are you kidding me? I can't believe it's October and Fall and 2016 is starting to wind down. Oh, boy.

Well, to get over this sense of weirdness how about we enjoy some quotes, a pair of games and some Wacky 911 calls? Sound good?

That's the spirit! I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Mouthing Off,
Carl
